A timely solution for some old parts

[nyncompute]

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
