fireeater Jun 30th, 08, 05:36 PM Time doesn't matter when I'm in the garage. So in other words I'm clockless.
SixtyAte Jun 30th, 08, 05:36 PM I got this at Sears :)

RamAirDave Jun 30th, 08, 07:22 PM Just got this for my dad. Amazon.com: AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR WALL CLOCK: Home & Garden (http://www.amazon.com/AMERICAN-MUSCLE-CAR-WALL-CLOCK/dp/B000M6CYEM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1214873867&sr=8-2)
I was given that one as a gift a while back. The sounds will catch you off guard every now and then, especially if you're focusing on something.
Don't know it it's screwed up or the battery was going down, but a couple of weeks ago it was sounding off continuously so I yanked the battery for the sounds.
wiskeesour Jul 1st, 08, 02:52 AM I have a CAT, as in Caterpillar, wall clock in the shop. Pretty neat, made in the early 60's. Caterpillar the company has offered to buy it.

Found this at a garage sale for a buck. Not a car or motor theme, but where there's cars or motors, there's usually beer.

Old baldguy Jul 1st, 08, 06:11 AM Cheep free Hot Rod Magazine clock that the mechanism is so loud when second's tick away you can't have it anywhere else, it would drive you nuts Happy motor
Gambitt Jul 1st, 08, 09:31 AM I have a repo rear body panel that I was thinking of turning into a shop clock. I think I will put the clock movement where the Z28 emblem is supposed to go and maybe put some old taillights in it too that come on.
pro70z28 Jul 1st, 08, 11:28 AM I have an old ''McQuay-Norris Piston Rings'' clock. It was old back in the 70's when I bought the repair shop it was in. When we moved to IL the glass face was broken. Still keeps good time though.

Vintage 68 Jul 1st, 08, 11:33 AM If I post a picture of my shop wall clock the Admins will remove it :disco:
My 'other' one is a 70's Snap-On issue, with the 'lady' being slightly more dressed - maybe they'll let me post that one :D
Here's one from the same series on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.com/Snap-On-Wall-Clock-Women-in-Bikini-Car-Wash-Mens-Garage_W0QQitemZ110263439811QQihZ001QQcategoryZ393 3QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l126 2 - she's wearing quite a bit more though :o
clwilcox33 Jul 1st, 08, 01:03 PM I wear a watch, or have a cell phone with the time ;)
I did hang a cheap clock up I picked up from walmart though.
dnult Jul 1st, 08, 01:50 PM I renewed my subscription to chevy high performance (or was it hotrod mag) and got a free clock with a chevelle on the face. I'm glad it's in the garage cuz that sucker has a very loud tick.
Microgiant Jul 1st, 08, 02:30 PM Check Harbor Freight, They had the coolest looking exposed gears chrome looking clock that was only about $20. Any gearhead would be proud to display in his garage.

RobSS1113 Jul 2nd, 08, 08:27 AM I did some computer work for a Mechanic friend would had a Snap on "limited edition" wood clock ... it was #'d 1 or ???? and it was missing the clock mechanism. I asked him if I can have that for what I did for him and he said sure.
It looks like this ... sorry I have not taken a picture of it but I grab this on off the net. Looks like this but mine has a car not a girl :mad:

Ghostbuster Jul 3rd, 08, 03:57 PM Buy a nice cheap battery operated clock from Target or Walmart.
Take a nice picture of your car, add in 12 numbers and replace the clock face with your car!
I've done this for several car buddies, it really looks nice.

My wife bought me one of those with camaro emblem. Sent it back for replacement after 2 months the neon died. Replacement lasted 4 months and at 7 months a new batt didnt bring back the clock. It hangs in the garage but dont work.:(

Tim1968 Nov 21st, 08, 07:01 PM i took apart an old battery operated jobby and stuck it through the center hole in a 14" edelbrock air cleaner i wasnt using and then made some notches for the hours and put the hands back on the clock. i get comments from people all the time on it
Tim1968 Nov 21st, 08, 08:58 PM while posting in my rebuild thread i saw it was on the wall, its up in the left corner

chassisboy Jan 18th, 09, 07:01 AM When I was workin at Moroso they used to sell air cleaner clocks, degree wheel clocks and even a water cooled vw valve cover clock. Thing was they used the reject parts from inventory and added a battery operated clock mechanism. Pretty much anything that didn't sell became a clock! You wouldn't beleive the amount of crap we threw out on a daily basis.
Ohhh the stories I could tell!
