What car guy wouldn't love to have one of those?

Richard

I think I could build this I'm just jammed for space, I'm not a welder but some times that little lincoln 135 is good to me, see my work on youtube type in BADDAZZ TABLES has to be caps and has to have the space then click on the black screen.

If was front wheel drive you could put a seat on it and take it for a spin!!

You could probably find someone doing that on youtube. I have seen a video where two or three guys/nuts were trying to see how long it would take for an engine to blowup without oil. They may have drained the water also I can't remember if they did or didn't. They were having a good time, and it looked like they were sober.

I'll check out your video.



I just checked out your artwork that has to be one of a kind for each table. Are there any motorcycles left in town with chains? Just kidding. Nice 68 Camaro

Richard

The chain is scrap I get from work, as for the camaro, my son and I hope to have it going soon.

Nice work, have you known of anyone else doing art like that with chains? That will be nice working on the car with your son.

Richard

No,an the guys at work though I was nuts for taken the old chain! now they all want a table!.

I don't think I would run it with them up although it would be a fun way to wake the neighbors.

That Test stand that you made is a Lot Like the one I have . I do Like the Smaller compact size that they are . I think you can Flip your Headers around and they will clear the stand . And you can add a Bolt on Front extension to your stand for a Radiator . I had to use a set of shorty Headers and Make the Pipes . Recently I bought the Mufflers that I run a Carrage Bolt through the Exhaust Pipe for Quick Hook up's . But if anyone wants to build one Like this use good Large H.D Wheels . When moving them around you can hit a Crack in the walk and they will want to tip . wake the neighbors I did that when I broke in my Camshaft on my 355 with open Headers .
