  • Wheel coffee tables.

    I've had these done for a while but didn't know if I shared them here.

    White one is a 18" Eagle 077 powdercoated white. Red one is a factory 1st gen GP 16" X-lace powdercoated red. I am a Pontiac and Husker fan.

    I used second gen GP front hubs (bad from Ed Morad) and bolted some legs to them that I had bend where I work and I drilled the holes to mount them myself. Glass was cut locally at $25 a piece and the vinyl covers for the center caps made by a friend of mine for free.

    077
    Wheel - free
    mount bolts - $3
    lug nuts - $5
    legs - free
    powdercoat - free
    rubber bumpers for glass to sit on - $5
    Glass - $25

    X-lace
    Sandblast - $30
    Wheel - $20
    mount bolts - $3
    lug nuts - $5
    legs - free
    powdercoat - free
    rubber bumpers for glass to sit on - $5
    Glass - $25

    You can see it wasn't very expensive for me, but these can be done for under $100 if you want some nice decor.....or if you can talk the wife/gf in to letting have one in the house.

        I see 8 cylinders...unless there are only 2 on the other side. Pretty cool though, for a 90 degree.

            I was going to use an old 3.4 block that I have stripped down, but ran out of time before I went to basic. It's a rust block now. Plus these damn 60* are heavy. I need to find an old LS1 block.

              There not that heavy... I think shipping weight of my 3400 was only like 300-350lbs? Strip all the components down and the block is not that bad.

                Still is heavy for a table... lol

                I still plan on using my 96's original engine for a coffee table when I get the time to strip it down. Right now its still 100% complete, and I have another 3400 waiting to take its spot so its gotta come apart soon.

                  I still have the reverse shell and 4th gear cluth hub/shaft from my trans rebuild project. I need to make a lamp out of them.....
