Mr. Jalopy Creates Drive in Theater From Junk
Mr. Jalopy is a Do-it-yourself guru that can fix just about anything from electronic devices to old automobiles. He believes in not only fixing things but improving them as well. Mr Jalopy also thinks that instead of complaining about something, you should do something about. Recently he noticed the rapid closing of drive in movie theaters in his area. He said, “Rather than moan and groan about the death of the drive-in movie theatre, I decided to build my own.” What he did was build his own digital projector out of a light bulb, old bookshelves, and some trashed electrical parts. He mounted his projector onto a kitchen table he found one day on the side of the road. Now every time he wants the joy of an outdoor movie, he mounts the projector, with table, onto the back of an adult sized tricycle and pedals towards the nearest building wall. He is also known for building “The world’s biggest iPod” by combining a standard iPod with a depression-era family radio and a 1970s stereo.
