For a while I've kind of wanted to make a flower planter out of an engine block. Someone in my hometown did it and it looks pretty cool. Here's an example from the cybernets:
So the question is, will I make more money selling off the wheels, tires and parts, and turning the engine into a planter?
Seems like a fun tribute to my hypermiling days, though I wonder if I would have more fun and/or money parting the car entirely and pulling apart a $200 Dakota for its engine instead. Surely a V8 would look better as a planter. Maybe even a V6.
A RWD transmission would look cool if it were stood upright and the bell housing used as a planter. Buy a broken truck and use every part of the bison?
