The LT5 table has always been my favorite. If i remember correctly, the guy had an LT5 vette and bought that one brand new as a spare and used it as a table in the meantime.

LT5 guys are a very rare breed, a lot of money $$$ in that crowd.

Agreed, if it's going in my house, I want it clean and NOT smelling like carb cleaner and such. Vatting it or one of the steam jet washes would be my choices!
