Default Im gonna have carziest coffee table built

Im gonna have car carziest coffee table built, and I apologize to whoever did the original but as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have one.

Obviously I am single, the Harley 1200 Sportster XL Custom that is in my kitchen should be a clue. But it looks so good next to the subzero refrigerator that this cofee table should be the icing on the cherry or in other words, making sure I stay single.

Notice you can store wine or champagne in the cylinder bores.

But to store the champagne and/or wine properly you need a boxer style engine so as to keep the corks moist…just sayin

I've seen a couple tables like this before and they're great....perfect for the man cave! Good job!

Also I couldn't help but notice your avatar. Our Arizona Corvette Racing group bestows the Whoop *** award on the member with the fastest lap time for a weekend event. Besides a small Whoop *** sticker for the car the winner receives a can of Whoop *** energy drink (so you can literally open a can of Whoop ***). Here's ours.....

That looks like one of the ones my Dad built a number of years ago. The problem he had was selling them.

Thats a cool table.

Buddy of mine just last night said his wife moved out, so he threw out the dining room table and moved his Harley in. I suggested if he did that sooner, she might have left sooner.

Originally, I thought it would be a giant job but in talking with the shop that does my tuning, they said, clean the block up, maybe bead blast is or just paint it, put something under it for feet and get the rods and pistons welded to the deck to support the glass and viola.

Ive also got a set of split spoke painted wheels that came off my car when I found chrome split spokes off a 2012.

Im trying to be honest with people because they have some curb rash and being 100% honest is scaring people off.

I think the best thing to do is;

#1. Smooth out the curb rash, sand it down is necessary.
#2. Plasti-Dip the wheels a cool color.
#3. Turn them into end tables or bar stools or something.

They will probably be more valuable as furniture than the $450 I was asking for the set.

If you use an aluminum LS block, might not be too heavy.

I am unlucky enough to have a complete LS1, it just has a scored crank, 2 broken rods, a 2 piece cam and bores that are square from the hydrolock incident in 2011.

I do have an issue with the bulk of it, I only have a vette and a harley so getting it around to get it cleaned, welded, etc is complicated.

Plus I am weak AND lazy.

put the bottles in upside down so you can read the labels.

Steve-R,

What does the C6 forum subject have in conflict with using an LS1,LS2,LS3 block to make a coffee table ?

Im pretty clear on where i am, Ive only been here for 13 years and I dont have a Mustang in my garage.

Steve_R, Im just ribbing ya because you didnt like my "cheesy" fake cf wrap.
