I think I'm going to try and sell my block as scrap aluminum. I've got a C5 wheel too that's bent. I might just hang it on the wall?

 

How much can you get for it as scrap? I think I am going to stick with the coffee table idea. I have kept all the other stock parts...haha.

 

Scrap aluminium is 25cents per lb here. only downside is you gotta take the liners out.(machine work) that unless you have the hookup for free will offset the cost you stand make of of selling it.

 

Coffee table for sure!

 

Thats the sweetest coffee table I've ever seen other than a hot naked chick spread open holding up a sheet of glass. Than again, I haven't seen that

 

started work on it today. painted some old rods(black) and pistons(silver) and might hit the block with some paint too. maybe go cruise garage sales looking for cheap table glass tomorrow. The crank is going to become a lamp but the table will be assembled first.

 

you can find cheap glass tops at furnitur stores too in the clearance centers/area. also any glass shop can make you any shape you want, its actualy pretty cheap. cant wait to see the pics

 

I've got a little wall art myself. Mine was caused by stupidity

 

^ That's a really nice one too. Define stupidity.

 

Will you post some pics in here when you are done? I will be interested to see what you come up with.

 

I got $46.00 for my busted block and oil pan. I unbolted anything steel that I could and left the liners in.

 

Took a few quick ones on the camera phone. still need to polish the machined surfaces of the block, cover the top of the pistons in felt and get glass.
Block damage


Some pistons bottom unpainted

Block shot with black

 

Yeah, the problem with my block is it's got two holes and quite a few cracks in it.

 

Black paint is taking forever to dry so progress is slow.

 

That sucks man. I see your from St.louis, I dont' recognize you from www.fastlouis.com/forums

you on there?

 

That's going to be one sweet table. I might have to haul mine up my steps and start working.

 

Looks good, I am looking forward to seeing your finished product!

 

Yeah, it really really does suck.

I am not on fastlouis. I went to a meet once about a year ago, but I didn't feel too welcomed, not sure why.

I am on www.racingadrenaline.com...it is small, but we are trying to build it up.
