Garage Clock... on a budget!

So I wanted a clock for my garage and I wanted a "Car Clock". Couldn't find one a liked so I made my own, makes a nice budget hack for the garage wall, less than $5 out of the door!




You can have the clock any way you like of course... if you're concerned about weight maybe you need painted carbon fiber:


Or if you want to showcase your car...

I did the graphics in Adobe Illustrator and printed it on a color laser printer.

I'll convert it to PS later on tonight and post it.

Micah - I thought about that but I hear Mr. Porsche's attorneys are a bit keen on their trademarks!

i dunno how hard it would be, but i would be awesome to take a few of those and cut them up so they look like our dash clusters with the middle being a clock.

Awesome design though!!!

I have a cluster in pieces on my bench, one of my many stalled projects, plan was for the center dial to be a clock and the other two as picture frames.
