Time to oil the Flowers? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

OutToWinPAHC · 06-02-2009, 10:27 AM

I posted a WTB ad for an engine block to make a flower pot out of, and Nick Merrone hooked me up with a V6 Buick block. Anyhow the WTB thread became a little discussion on the topic. Anyhow I did it, and its been 2 weeks since.... I was going to paint it, but I think a rusted iron block will be better looking, and less work.

LOL...

Not gonna lie. That's cool as ****

lownslow95 · 06-02-2009, 10:33 AM

You should do something with the top also. Thats cool as **** though.

Scapegoat · 06-02-2009, 10:34 AM

not gonna lie... it looks like ****. its a piece of trash on your front lawn... it doesn't look good and it doesn't fit in at all with landscaping.

i dunno... maybe if you cleaned it up so it didn't look like a rusted hunk of metal, put some nice flowers in it and placed it somewhere where it didn't look like you're tossing junk parts in yard it would look ok.

OutToWinPAHC · 06-02-2009, 10:37 AM

Landscaping lol, I hardly have a yard, its just a puppy pee place. Meh I like it, its character, as for the flowers, they need to grow, especially the white ones.

sillyeye · 06-02-2009, 11:24 AM

you should have primered and painted the block so it doesnt get all rusty. But props on being original.

sillyeye · 06-02-2009, 11:24 AM

Just hope some crack head doesnt come by and steal so he can scrap it.

drifty240 · 06-02-2009, 11:41 AM

You should of painted it but damm thats cool...

sorry, i just think it looks like crap. it looks like something you'd expect to see in a trailer park or some ghetto.

if you're going to do something with stuff like this, at least put effort into it instead of tossing it in your front yard by a tree.

215ek · 06-02-2009, 12:41 PM

paint will make it look not trashy lol.
nice idea tho i like it

4DR_DB7 · 06-02-2009, 01:20 PM

IMHO .02 - great idea/concept. really unique. I just think it would look much better in a different location. Like on a porch or front step... My Fung Schui is telling me it just looks out of place right in the middle of the front yard like that... Though I may be a bit anal, since I used to work in landscaping.

den9 · 06-02-2009, 06:32 PM

the engine block is creative but definetly doesnt look right smack dab in your front lawn, outback maybe or by the tool shed garden
