Sand Lake man builds car part dinosaurs in roadside display
Chris Snyder operates an auto junkyard near Sand Lake, Michigan, crafting large dinosaurs and robotic figures from discarded car parts. His 13 foot gorilla, a pterodactyl with rusted wings, and a pink tyrannosaurus greet passersby along the road. He uses spark plugs for teeth and leaf springs for ribs, prefers Chrysler frames, and plans a 30 foot gorilla using a Volkswagen head.
