Built a manly coffee table

[luxstang]

Thanx for the kudos guys!!

First I can reassure you: The wife is pleased. Make that really pleased.

She actually had me make it, after I unfolded the idea to her.

You gotta love her. She's fun to be with, she puts up with most of my stupid ideas, even let me name our cat "Shelby" and last but not least she's HOT! (Even after ten years of marriage!)

So, I guess, that one's a keeper!

I'd love to make some of these tables for you guys, but given that I live across the ocean the shipping would push these into a price range, where it simply wouldn't be worth it.:dodgy:

But as those blocks can probably be found easily in the US, you guys are in V8 Table Heaven!

Here it is actually pretty hard to find a block to start with, unless you know somebody who busted theirs.

If you want details, PM me, but it is not hard to figure out how to make them.

Awesome! Did you start with a damaged block or is that still buildable?

No, it's got a cracked cylinder wall. You don't get those things cheap enough to build something like this here in Europe when they can still be used.

But that was the better one of the two I had.

I got another 289 here that is really busted with one cylinder completely gone on the inside and a piece of the block torn out of it on the opposite side.

Gotta take a picture of that one and post it here.

Oh by the way, I'll be in California for two weeks in October!

What part of California? If you are in Southern California, you need to go to Cars N Coffee with us! A great show with a little bit of everything.

I hope to be here at least 2 weeks during October too! But I travel so much, its hard to tell... :-/

Get the wife in and see LOL!

Actually it was the wife who made me make it. She loves it even more than I do!

Lucky me, I guess.

Don't know exactly yet. But we'll be doing the classic LA to Frisco trip on highway one for a part of the stay.

Cars and coffee sounds nice. I'll see if can work it into the schedule. I'll keep you posted!

That is a great drive--stop by Hearst Castle if you have time, a great tour for an American place...

Cars N Coffee is an early Saturday morning event. Here is the website. http://irvine.carsandcoffee.info/

 

[luxstang]

stop by Hearst Castle if you have time

Yup, that was on our to do list.

And when we get to Frisco, I have the exact addresses of the Bullit film locations.

Ok,

Update!

Here it is now with the final glass top that I picked up today. Remember: the other one was only a makeshift solution while I waited for the glasser to get this one done.

 

[MrMach71]

That is one of the coolest accessories for a mancave!!!!! I have got to get me one.

Hey Lux,

Couple days ago, I helped a cuzin wrench on his Maserati 228. Searched online for information about the biturbo engine and found this

You guys rock!
