MAKE: Blog: Turbo II, Junkyard Boogaloo

Turbo II, Junkyard Boogaloo - amazing boombox!

Assets Resources 2007 06 Boombox Frt Top Ants Up
Incredible DIY boombox, watch the video!

Feast your eyes on the result of weeks of work using the various remains of over a dozen cars -- from 80's BMW's to a 1990 Toyota Tercel -- it's the glorious Turbo II Junkyard Boogaloo boombox. Ninety-two pounds of plywood and car parts joined together as an homage to the homemade car-battery boomboxes used by first-generation break dancers.

this is really cool, but the homage may be a bit misplaced. nobody had these in the "beginning" (as in late 70s in new york). then again, i wasnt there, but ive watched probably near 30 movies and documentaries on hip hop's beginnings.

regardless, really need build.
