New use for cool license plates, Ukulele by Owen Burke

Morris Minor hubcap guitar and Seasick Steve on Top Gear, cut to minute 5:50

Top Gear Season 14, episode 7

That video has been deleted, so I looked around, and found that he used a Hudson hub cap, spatula, garden hoe handle guitar on a British TV show http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13600391

And if you are impressed with his bit of music, you'll be blown away with what he can do with a one string diddley-bow. A 2x4 and and amp, that's it. 

"A Touch to Much" tribute truck to AC/DC... with working Marshall amp and smoke machine, and amazing airbrushed panels

Original designs include:
•A Sonor drum pedal for the accelerator
•Ahead drum sticks for turn signal and Tilt actuators
•Paiste cymbal for switch plate
•Roc N Soc drum thrones for seats
•Shure microphone head for shifter knob
•Coffin mic case for shifter console
•Gibson guitar knobs for door openers

The above airbrushed piece amazes me that is so perfectly recreates a cutting torch burning through the door panel from the inside

The key fob guitar pick, small detail, great idea

The following designs are presently in varied stages of costruction:
•Highway Star / Smoke on the Water - our tribute to Deep Purple
•Nights in White Satin - our tribute to the Moody Blues
•Delicate Sound of Thunder - our tribute to Pink Floyd
•"NOTHING ELSE MATTERS" - tribute to Metallica

Rusty Chevrolet by the Yoopers... getting you in the Christmas mood with car stuff!

Skip the first 45 saeconds, they are trying to relate how hard it is to find and dig your car out of the blizzard snow



If you are from the deep snow North like me (yooper) you can relate, and if you enjoy the easy going humor of this bunch of snow bound, beer drinking, deer hunters, here's another song "My Car Won't Go" but the band never made a video for it, this one was added to the song by someone who felt the pain of lots of snow and no way to get traction

Snow chains useful for more than traction...

they were used as percussion in the song Nowhere to Run by Martha and the Vandellas
