Urinal Made From Chevrolet Turbo 400 Transmission
 ✖  |
Doug Peccianti of Sacramento, Calif., has a custom urinal in his welding shop that always attracts attention, as it’s made from a Chevrolet Turbo 400. “I built the shop 10 years ago and knew I wanted to add a bathroom,” says Peccianti. “But as I scanned the room, I saw the Turbo 400 in the corner. Inspiration struck, so I decided to put it to use.”
Peccianti removed the transmission’s internal components and placed a stainless-steel salad bowl into the recess. “My wife got a new one for the kitchen, I promise,” he laughs. One of his favorite features is the flush valve, made from a Hurst shifter that he also had on hand.
Peccianti estimates he invested $100 into this project by purchasing most materials at swap meets. The project took about 10 hrs., mainly because the design took some tinkering to conceptualize fully. “I could build it again in 4 hrs.,” he says. “Cutting out the internal components took a bit of thinking.”
The custom urinal never fails to earn a response from those who see it. “It can be a real talking point in the shop,” says Peccianti. “It always puts a smile on people’s faces.”
