Augusta man builds fence of car hoods, angering neighbors

AUGUSTA - An auto shop owner who built a fence out of old car hoods is taking heat from neighbors and city zoning officials. <br> <br> Jimmy Davison started stringing together the hoods a couple weeks ago around his undeveloped 4-acre property in west Augusta. <br> <br> More than 20 mismatched car hoods some dented - many with peeling paint - are propped against a line of rope. <br> <br> ``I wanted a fence, and it&#39;s my damn land,&#39;&#39; he said. <br> <br> Residents of nearby subdivisions want the hoods removed. <br> <br> ``It makes it look like a big junk pile, and I&#39;ve got a feeling he&#39;s going to keep putting more hoods up there,&#39;&#39; said Lanny Terry, whose mother lives across the street from the property. <br> <br> Davison received a notice Thursday from the city that he&#39;s in violation of the property&#39;s zoning laws. He has 10 days to respond before being cited.
