I have finally lost my mind!
If you look at these pictures you will see my driveway and at the end is a circle (where my Vette is sitting). In the circle currently, I put an old plow that I found on the property when I bought this place. Well, Im not a farmer and I never really cared for that old plow. So....I got a replacement for it. Its my new "yard art" and flower hanger......Im gonna pick it up Wednesday morning. I'll post more pics when its in place.
I need some serious therapy!!!......
The old plow
And here is my new planter/yard art!!! Help me!!!!

Naw, if it were "redneck heaven" it would be up on blocks and there would be a single wide trailer in the back ground!

That ain't no planter, that's hotrod material. Build it!!
Make a 2 x 3 tube frame, put a small V-6 under that hood with a 5-speed behind and a Ranger or S-10 rear end. Leave the rear of the body as is (depot hack?). Make some old style wrap-around bucket seats like a Stutz or Mercer speedster and leave the sides of the cab open. Chop it, but not as much as in your altered picture. Use some painted steel wheels and blackwall tires. Leave all the sheet metal as is (unrestored) and keep the flat white. Cheap, simple, and all fun...

Thanks for your ideas guys. But, it's gonna be yard art and nothing more. Ive been wanting to do this for quite some time. I just never have the time with all my other projects to build this. So when this came along, I realized it was exactly what I wanted all along! I just got off the phone with the seller and we are meeting at 7am to exchange cash for junk!!...

At least you have a mind to loose. Chop and channel the planter and it will be perfect.
