Up for grabs we have a GIGANTIC! Vintage tribute to the almighty fire breathing 426 Hemi Big Block. This was hand fabricated and welded from a heavy gauge steel into a folk art tribute to the world’s most famous engine. The mailbox was pulled from outside service years ago and had received maintenance and upgrades throughout its life. There is some aging primarily on the top silver portion of the engine from weathering but the black and orange is in very decent condition, im assuming auto paint was used and held up much better too the elements. There is a total of 19 lights in the engine, the headers and blower have flame flickering bulbs which brings it to life wonderfully and the valve cover ports/boots have amber indicator accent lights. The motor is huge! Very heavy and built like a tank. The door and flag work very well, the top pulley has a large industrial magnet that secures the door in the closed position. The belt is a heavy gauge steel band welded onto the pulleys. We do not know how old the piece actually is, judging by its design most likely 1970s-1990s. As it sits currently this would be used indoors inside your shop or as a piece of display art for the garage or man cave, you would need to modify the electrical components to weather proof if you wanted it for outdoor use. Please ask questions and more photos are available if needed. Thank you for looking! X 18″ TALL X 22″ DEEP. Enjoy all photos using zoom and ask questions if needed. NOTE- As with any antique lighting, always have inspected prior to use for safety and installed by a qualified professional.

This custom made clock is based on the vintage Chevrolet Time clocks. I put a lot of time into making this clock. The frame was 3D printed & painted matte gold/yellow. The clock face graphics were printed on a 10.25 inch aluminum disk by a professional print shop, then clear coated. The clock hands were 3D printed also. The clock face is mounted to a 12 inch aluminum disk. The Octagon frame measures close to 13×13 inches wide, 2 1/4 inches deep. I added an LED strip in warm white which gives it a neon look, the brightness is adjustable, you can make it dim or very bright, it looks awesome lit up! The LED strip can be unplugged from the DC adapter & tucked into the back of the clock. The clock face is secured with large thumb tacks. The glass front has a beveled edge & is thick, it looks great. This clock would be ideal for a garage. It’s a solid clock. Feel free to ask questions.
