Default Engine tables and other Home decore


Hi all,
I built an Engine Table for a member last year and thought I would share a few other pieces I've built with you.

Enjoy!

Crunch Time<br/>1974 Porsche 911 Pressure Plate Clock





The Exoskeleton<br/>1974 Porsche 911 Case Engine table





74 911 clutch clock





74 911 Clutchplate Clock





Teapot Car Lamp

Thanks Chaos.
Prices depend a lot on how much the parts for the build are.
Clocks and Lamps are between $50-$500
Tables are $800-$5,500

There are a few on ebay right now Bill.
They seem to go for around $200 each.

I use LA dismantelers. they've given me the best bang for my buck.

Also the Exoskeleton (red and black table) is for sale. The owner is chasing a 356 and is luquidating to buy it.
He is asking $7500 for it.

Some great ideas in this thread. I'd be a little concerned about my shins with glass on top of an engine though.

Lol.
I could put a bumper around the edge of the glass if you wanted.
Or you could wear shin guards in the house.
