Default Homemade 928 wall clock

I though I would share my unfished project. I bought the plastic clock at Harbor Freight for $20, painted the caliper and had a very nice 'lister make me the Porsche decal. Im thinking about putting "928" black on white for the face of the clock. Heres a pic of the unfinished one, its a litle rough and dirty from glue and stuff. But you get the idea. Oh, and its about 14" around.

Sorry about the poor pic quality.

Very nice! Cool!

Yes, "928" would look good.

So the caliper and rotor are plastic?

They look real.

Nice find.

Yeah its all plastic, but the rotor has some sort of metallic plastic coating. It looks real good in person. I got another new one to do correctly and make it clean. I just did this one to see how it all come apart and how much work it is. Pretty cheap replica.

No problem. let me get the final one together and figure out what backgound to put on the face. I guess you could put any picture you wanted? hey, a pic of our own cars would be neat. If you pay for the parts and shipping i would have no problem with that.

With just "928" (top) and "SHARK" (bottom) on the face will be fine with me. Give the total with shipping to 27546.

Just add 28 to the 9 o'clock position number.

Simple elegance.

Haha I saw that clock at Harbor Freight a couple days ago and thought the same thing. Nice job, you beat me to it. I think I've seen the decals on Ebay too.

Very cool!

Should set up an alarm so that a recording of you starting your car goes off at 9:28 everyday.
