Built a manly coffee table

[luxstang]

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!

Not bad, but does it supply booze....? NO!

It's Italian, so I'd be afraid it would break down any time you put a glass or a bowl of peanuts on top of it.

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.

Ok that table is so cool, but it looks like your whole house is really nice/cool too, props on the whole living room.

LOL! Sure does I think you hold the cups under the exhuast manifold ports and he then pours the drink into the oil filler hole and serves six LOL! Can't beat yours though!

Thanks! As you are in Germany, you are one of the few on this board that actually could come over and take the tour of the place! (Food for thought....... )

That would be cool, I'd like to meet someone from the forum. I'll let you know next time I have a four day weekend and maybe we can meet up and talk cars.

Please do that! That'd definitely be cool!

Just put it there and tell her that she is free to move it out if she doesn´t like it. :angel:

This is one of my favorite threads on many levels.

That is the coolest piece of furniture I have ever seen!

How did this old thread rise from the dead?

Besides the table is still in my living room and I had to make a second one for friends of my wife. Interestingly enough, those could not care less about cars or mechanics, but they loved the idea and the look of it, so i had to make them one.

Seems that us car nuts are not the only ones who fancy this kind of stuff.

No mater how you look at it car fan or not. That is a conversation piece and it looks good. As far as the block goes did you get blasted and just painted it I can pretty much figure out the rest but in the pics it looks like an aluminum block.

Yes, I had it blasted and painted it with "Dark Aluminum" wheel paint from a rattle can. If I was to do it again, I'd probably have it dipped in some kind of acid to get rid of all the grime and just clear coat it.

Friend of mine had the idea of chroming it. I guess that would be a little over the top.
