Non Beer Related Contraptions

[BadRock]

I'm sure a lot of you are as ingenuitive as I am, so show off your contraptions!

This is my Street Mobile, Believe it our not she'll do 54mph on dry pavement!


This is the Dixie Chopper for obvious reasons!


And the Harley Back!


I also have a late 70's electric golf cart that I gutted and stuck a 383cc ski-doo motor in. But I don't have any photos.

Sorry bro...I've got nothing. I'm just not as manly as you "Jesse James" man's man types. That shit looks cool as hell don't get me wrong, I just couldn't build it for shit. The closest I can get is a stirplate and kettle volume measurement stick.

Badrock-you rock!
You'd fit right in with the rednecks i hang out with. Tinkering with that kind of stuff is way to much fun. One of our latest was snowmobile skis on a riding lawnmower with a track bolted on the tires, man that was fun until we blew out the diff doing a massive wheelie. Glad i'm not alone in my "creations"!

I don't really have time for "creations" right now. I barely have time to brew. But when I do get the time, I have a 1970 Mustang waiting in the garage. Weeellll, its actually my wife's car. But I'm the one who'll be working on it. I'm thinking that it's going to get fuel injected and then painted and thats about it. I just want it to be reliable for her to drive. Once I get the chance I'll have another Camaro. I miss the 1973 Z-28 I used to have. That car had about 400hp at the rear wheels and would lift the from end off the ground shifting 1-2... fun!

I'm a big fan of mustangs, but if the car is all or mostly original, i say keep it stock, i.e carburetor. Fuel injection is nice, but carbs ar just as reliable if tuned right, just my $.02:)

It is very stock. Her dad bought it in 1972. The only thing he changed over the years was the engine (and had it painted). So I feel pretty good about swapping it out for a FI engine. Oh, and it has a salvage title due to an engine fire. The wife says that she'll never sell it and doesn't really care about how much it is worth... she does want to be able to drive it and for it to be reliable... so FI it gets!

I saw Badrock posted a topic on non-brewing related gadgets and knowing what his wife does for a living, I was hoping for something better than that.

That street-snowmobile is pretty cool though.

Sorry to let you down, although I have often thought that I could "Super Charge" some of her products and make millions. Unfortunately my real passion is beer!
