Ford FR500 Mustang Wheel Clocks

[Donny Carlson]

John over at Bleakley Ford told me about these about a month ago. When I was in there yesterday, they were in stock and selling fast! I bought one, took it up to the guys at Team, who liked it. That one I gave to master tech Jason Adams, as appreciation for the great job he did on my Meziere pump and gauges. Today I returned and bought two more (only one left!); one for Scott Levine, also a gift of appreciation for the work he's done on my Marauder, and one for our own Toddenheimer, for hooking me up with the great folks at Team, Meggammax, and Butler Tire!

Here's shots of the way cool desk alarm clock (this one is Todd's)

Can that rim be widened?

This is going up on the wall beside my computer desk. This clock is AWESOME.

A closer shot. Notice the hour hand is a wrench and the minute hand is a screwdriver.

The clock is quite heavy, mostly because the tire looks and feels like rubber, though it's more likely vinyl or some other plastic.

Until I saw the other pic I thought it was about 5 inches tall. Thats a Big clock!

It's probably smaller than 5"... The desktop clocks (in the first few pics) are small. The last pics are of Donny's WALL CLOCK! It is bigger...

BTW, they aren't FR500 wheels... these are:

Look at the spoke design in your photo and the spoke design of the clock. Granted, the FR500 wheels have five spokes, the clock eight spokes, which I assume was needed so you could actually use the clock to tell time (see all the numbers on the clock face) and the center cap is missing, but then they had to make concessions for the clock arms.

Not bustin chops... I was just making an observation. I dig the clocks, they're cool.
