A timely solution for some old parts
Got my free door from Randy teeitup. Some quick on the draw member got the ochre one I needed so I doctored up the freebie. Started by drilling a bigass hole in it and painting it black:
![]() Then went to my craft store and got a pendulum type clock movement (18 bones): ![]() Step three.. got into box-o-gauges and found a stripped out OP gauge: ![]() Step five or si..whatever, measured the location of the pendulem weight and tore it off its mounting stalk. I then weighed it on a scale- 85 grams: ![]() Tore the back off the gauge and ground all the metal off until the gauge, needle and stalk, and a rivet all weighed the same as the original pendulum. Theeeeennnn- careful to locate the now exact weight gauge on the same spot as the original weight, I put a rivet through both. ![]() Next epoxyd the needle in and viola ..new gearhead- wrencher- Chevy guy type clock pendulum: ![]() Part G: Painted some sticky numbers white and did up the hand with florescent orange paint.... and you know what you got?... Times up...I gunna tell you. You got a tacky hillbilly- ghetto sorta freebie clock that kinda looks like an instrument cluster but kinda don't: ![]() Sure you're laughing but it ticks rocks to'n fro , and keeps time..and got me out of the house for a few hours where I have a small fridge with beers ![]()

Re: A timely solution for some old parts
Billy Mays died. The Sham Wow guy got beat up by a hooker.
That's pretty neat. Now you can time your beers.

Re: A timely solution for some old parts
Take off the pendulum and I think it would actually be a cool idea in a truck.

Re: A timely solution for some old parts
If you do it with an instrument cluster you could do a barometer or time from different time zones
