My dad, who is now retired has way to much time on his hands. *This is a picture of his latest creation. *Two sets of my brothers blown 503 pistons from his 97 SL. *If you look at the stand he has a map of where it blew up. *Believe it or not, it was within 100 feet both times.

Ah yes, gearhead lamps. *That is one good looking unit. *hehe. *I made a lamp a couple years ago that had a Ford 302 camshaft for the stick, and I cut out a monster truck sillouette (sp?) for the base. *Wish I had a picture here to post. *I always thought it would be cool to make some barstools out of V8 crankshafts. *They'd be a little heavy, though. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
