What do you think about having this coffee table in your living-room, Dave?

I am not sure about the make of the block, but I suspect the worst. As I see it, there are two ways of seeing things:
1. We Moparians couldn´t live one day with this Ch**y/F**d-table in our living room, since we hate everything that is made by these two brands. :evil:

2. We would love to have one in the living room, since this is the only thing that a Ch**y/F**d-block is good enough for.

Cheers

Pretty sure that is a SBC block. Makes a change from being used as a boat anchor I suppose?

by **Freddie** » 09 Mar 2004 8:20

Greetings!

It's been some time now when i last visited this board. :oops:

I missed it

Now about this table: this is the cool table that i was talking about. i'm sure i mentioned it before. Dave should remember. Christer where did you find this picture?

by **Christer** » 11 Mar 2004 5:40

A friend mailed me that picture. I don´t know where he got it from in the first place..... :roll:

by **PaRoDy** » 12 Mar 2004 13:25

Well it's good you put it up here anyway. Thank you and your friend for me :lol:

by **Christer** » 14 Mar 2004 16:57

Not the time of year but it is never wrong to do some planning!

Why don´t you surprise your girlfriend/wife with a homemade candlestick like this? I am sure that she would be overwhelmed. :lol:

by **PaRoDy** » 14 Mar 2004 17:22

I already smell the aromas of the Christmas evening.

The oil and other sweet shings.

by **Freddie** » 16 Mar 2004 19:23

Super idea! I was going to do that with one of my 392 hemi heads and the "chrysler firepower" valve cover, but couldnt' find a surface strong enough to hold an early hemi head on...... coffeetable made out of glass is definetly out of the question! And, this whole christmas candlestick thing is probably lost on our non scandinavian friends anyway... :roll:

My mates 'coffee table'.

by **PaRoDy** » 22 Mar 2004 1:22

Pretty convenient table - drive to kitchen, load your beer and snacks on the bike and drive back to the livingroom.

Well we needed something bigger than yours to transport the empty bottles to the kitchen. :twisted:

The front forks are what you call megawide I think? He is getting a much wider front wheel sorted out soon for that "Judge Dread" look. The rear tyre is 200mm wide.

This was a trip up to Loch Ness in Scotland by me and a few mates this weekend to see the lad with the bike because he just moved there. As you can see his wife has not moved up there yet! :roll:

We got back to Newcastle at 4:30pm Sunday and as I write this I am still tired. Thank God we found a place that sold pain killers on Sunday morning! :shock:

All the locals in the three pubs there know us now I think. :oops:

by **PaRoDy** » 22 Mar 2004 11:16

Omg

this topic is getting freakier every time.
Does a "little bit" messy workdest qualify as a decoration? :oops:

by **dave-r** » 22 Mar 2004 11:56

The worktop I think you mean?

Beer bottles can be art!

Ha! We old blokes can still show you young lads how to party eh! :wink:

by **PaRoDy** » 23 Mar 2004 4:31

well yeah.....I think....

Now about beer bottles... Some time ago my father had 6-8 bottles of beer every day. 50cl a bottle and 7,5%. Figure it out yourself how many beer bottles there were :twisted:

And partying depends mostly on budget and i have most of the time a limited budget. But yes I think youre right

I thought I would show three pic´s from my home.

The homemade carburator-picture usually gives people a good laugh and they just can´t keep themselves from asking what the heck that is? The answer? A four-in-line carburator set from a Kawasaki Z550 motorcylce! Very easy to make and draws a lot of attention. I like it very much myself! :s004:

I bought the Hemi-poster in a book-shop in my hometown. I had it framed and....I just can´t stop looking at it. Specially the Daytona and the Superbird in the middle are eyecatchers. :shock:

by **dave-r** » 23 Oct 2005 20:32

Love the carbs mate. :mrgreen:

by **christer** » 28 Oct 2007 8:29

Have anyone tried the more-than-one-woman-in-the-house-thing? :lol:

Any recommendations? :lol:

I wonder if this second woman would pass the inspection?

(Sold for about $100. Nice collectible if you ask me.)

I like that Christer! It was a good price too. My dogs would nibble on her and she would be wet and soggy in a few days time.

Here is another nice collectible:

1961 Plymouth dealer View-Box. These were used in the showroom to illustrate the various models and color combinations using plastic colored transparencies that slide behind the car giving it different body and roof colors.

by **Eddie** » 01 Nov 2007 18:25

Very nice! I love all that stuff from the era! :thumbsup:

by **Jimiboy** » 01 Nov 2007 20:32

old stuff, is most often cool stuff... :thumbsup:

what do you say about this rare item:

Staight out of the CHRYSLER FINANCE CENTER!!
This an enlargement photo of a 1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible R/T Plum Crazy. The size is 46" X 70".

5 days to go, buy-it-now: $300, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 93230&rd=1

It can be a bit costly for us living overseas since it is a local pickup-only auction. :biggrin:

by **christer** » 09 Apr 2008 17:30

A nice collectible if you ask me, at least the cover. The inside feels like cheap-cheap....

by **christer** » 14 Sep 2008 11:36

Right now my bookshelf looks better than it use to. I just felt for posting a pic of it. I hope you don´t mind.

I did some interior decorating in my house. Shelves made from clear plexiglass.
