A little project I've been working on....

[TheYellaBrick]

I built this as my entry in a mail box build off at the 2012 Northwest Motorfest in Boise, Idaho. All mail boxes will be auctioned off and all proceeds go to the 'SHRINERS HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN' charity. Peoples choice wins $250.
Still need to install the mag and string plug wires. It fits on a stand based off a steel wheel. I'll post a pic of the finished product. Got about 90 hours in it so far.
Here's the build; http://photobucket.com/hotrodmailbox

Looks like the blower sticking out of the hood on the Mad Max car, great work Duane!

That is cool DD. If I had the money I would be there to buy it at auction.

Great job man. Keep up the great work

[RonOwensRacing]

Is there anyway to bid on line ? i would love to have that for my shop .
That is just way to cool good job DD awesome.

[DirkaDirka]

Actually DD a thought just came to mind. Have you thought of maybe selling them to the public? With either one or two mailboxes like you have there?

If you have I would love to buy one.

Well, boys, with this kind of response, I better look into it, huh ? It'd be a pretty spendy piece ! Indoor display use only though.
I might put the next one up on Ebay.....

It is an onsite bidding process so if you want this one-of-a kind, 'original, you gotta be there in person. Besides, I committed this one to this cause.

well my friend, what would it cost to build one for outside use say just from the intake up/ me likey ALOT!

[Scooterz]

DEwayne/DD/-Doba!!! That is awesome!!! Every gear head needs it. Blown Hemi too... really stops the Hatfield/McCoy competition... once you have that unit, the neighbors really can't 1-up it... GREAT IDEA!!! Well done.

BTW: been using the Blue towel dispenser a TON. Love it!! Now that I have some serious use on it, I thought of one thing I ran into (not sure if you thought of the same thing)... which is cutter strip on the access end so when you have one hand available you can rip it easier. I actually put a different paper towel style (industrial) when I ran out of the Blue ones... which are not perforated & do not rip well. Seems like it would be an easy add-on, but every time I say that at work, it usually ends up with hours of discussion in R & D, arguing of engineers, etc... LOL!! Just a thought.

Only brought $225.......am sorta pouting, was hoping for a lot more to go to the Shriners Hospital.... A sign of our economic situation.

[Scooterz]

I am surprised... should have brought more. I suppose you are right about the economy. Anyways, well done!!!
