Wrecker Mailbox
 ✖  |
I was in the body shop and wrecker service business for 40 years and developed a love for stainless steel. So when my mailbox rusted out, I decided, "Why not make one out of stainless?" I decided to make it look like a wrecker. The body was made from sheets of stainless. The only parts that are not stainless are the exhaust pipes, which are 3/8-in. copper. The main post came out of a Cummins diesel truck. The back post is a cam shaft out of a car. It gets a lot of lookers and I know it will last last a lifetime if it doesn't get run over. (K.
