Billetproof 2007: Great Trophies, or Greatest Trophies?

Those look like the goof-off trophies we made up in college. The one we made for our favourite professor was made from a crankshaft from a late 80s 2.0l cavalier.

It came from a buddies car and was remarkable because the thrust main had completely worn out and the crank was gouged about an 1/8 inch along the side of the main on the crank. Whenever the clutch was pushed in, you could hear the crank hitting the block.

The trophy ended up pretty cool, we welded on a timing chain from a Ford mod motor and assorted small block chevy valves. Then scribed all our names on it. We kept the flywheel on as a base.
