Default Built a C3 table clock

Hi all,
long time I´ve been thinking to have a nice Corvette table clock. Nothing to buy could make me happy. So I decided to build my own clock. I took an old lense from a 69 tail light and a part of a Rally Wheel hub cap. Fixed it on an old table light socket and put in a clock. I decided to use a vintage cadillac clock ( 1959 as my year of birthday) as it is more better looking then a C3 clock.

The result:


backside


clock itself


of course lightend


near my other accesories in the living room

1969 convertible MFG : REVELL
1978 MFG : UT
1969 coupe MFG : HOT WHEELS but I changed some things to look like my Original. I built a small block hood for example as there are no models available with small block hood I believe.

Man that looks really cool. I think you could sell quite a few of those if you were interested in building more.
