Not sure if I am posting this in right thread as I am new to this forum, just sharing some of my work. From the St.Cloud, Mn area...
It looks great. I like auto parts made into decorating items. Here's one I made from a donate wheel and left over zoomies. It will be auctioned off at the Chicago Brushmasters event next March at the Chicago World of Wheels show
It is neat, would not likely appeal to many of the women in our lives. It also looks like it could cause back injuries or hernias trying to move it, unless it is made from plastic maybe.
Yeah will take one when I get a chance, but it is just the block on that side no flywheel or anything.
Haha.....true. One could put some bottle storage in the bores too....upside down of course. Pretty neat table ! Especially for the upper crust ! Some here would collect their 40 ouncers in there maybe.
Never made anything like this before. It was we had this wheel donated for the auction. We had the zoomie pipes left over from another project. So this is what I came up with. Don't know if it will sell.
Looks like a really good use for a Chevy. Years ago an acquaintance had a 427 Ford tri-power intake and carbs made into an end table. Later on he built another, using a complete 215 Buick engine (- carb and accessories) Never noticed any live-in women around his place though!
I've got an aluminum V12 Jag block I'm in the process of doing this to (furrin' exotica... ). The big downside is the weight; that iron Chevy block makes for a pretty heavy table. I'm gutting the interior of mine; knocking the main bearing saddles out and cutting the bores out (did you know you can cut aluminum with a chainsaw? LOL) with the goal of getting the block weight down to about 40 lbs.
Yeah the Chevy blocks are heavier than a ford so I made a ford one too lol. About 25lbs lighter I'm guessing
