Viper Engine Block Coffee Table

[NSviper]

After breaking my last Viper coffee table, while moving last year, and making end tables out of it, I decided it was time to take on another winter project. I picked up the parts at VOI12 last year, and bought it back home, well, after an encounter at customs with trying to explain to them that it was NOT a working engine and would not be put in my car! They let me go, without a fine, this time. By the way, if someone has an old Gen 1 or 2 block, with pistons and valve covers, that they want to get rid of, please let me know. I have a friend who wants one built.

[Canadian Snake]

Nice Job!!!

 

[01sapphirebob]

Sweet!!!

 

[troublemaker]

That may be one of the coolest ideas I've seen in a long time.

 

[WOT!]

Shaun, you are the man! Great idea and well executed.

 

[BLK04]

Pretty cool...

 

[LifeIsGood]

How about some close-ups of the hinge for the valve covers.

 

[Allan]

That is totally killer. It's cooler that the table on Top gear.

 

[plumcrazy]

very cool..

 

[denniskgb]

Very clever.

 

[KNG SNKE]

Cool table, I would love one of those.

How about some close-ups of the hinge for the valve covers.

Here's some photos of the hinge, and some of the built in cork screw, and how we got the look of the pistons coming through the glass. Thanks everyone for the positive feedback.

Never seen it executed with flipping valve covers and bottle holders in this way, very creative and it looks awesome!

 

[ViperTony]

This would be perfect for my man cave i.e. panic room. Really well done, it looks awesome!

 

[LifeIsGood]

Thanks for the additional pictures.

I think it's the best one I've seen so far... I like the cork puller!

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Goes well with the outdoor engine grill they advertise on TV I suppose.

 

[daytonprowler]

Speechless.

http://www.hotrodgrills.com/ Perfect compliment for your table but sorry it does not say Viper on it. It is a V8 so maybe it cooks as well as a V8 sounds.......

 

[Mopar Boy]

Dude. That is BAD ASS!!!! I love it!

And the cork puller.....brilliant!

Well done man!

 

[99 R/T 10]

That is very cool. Where did you get the engine block........................................

 

[Mopar Boy]

Yeah don't we wonder Mike!

I thought at the time what the heck would he be doing with a used block.... I see now.

 

[99 R/T 10]

Yeah, I thought it was going to be a simple table project. I have another block, I am going to try to replicate it. That is absolutely cool as hell.

Hey Shawn, where did you get the glass done? Were the emblems etched or are they vinyl stickers? Can you post up a few more detailed pictures?

 

[WOT!]

I also like the end tables. Great use for old tires.

Yeah exactly! I have one of the old SRT mule/prototype blocks and I have my brain thinking now......

Mike, The glass was cut at our local speedy auto glass, the emblems are stickers. Unfortunately I did not take alot of photos of the build. But I will see what I can find this weekend and post. Or I can Email you. If you come across another block that you are not going to use let me know. We are going to Carlisle in July. I think thats in your neck of the woods.So if you find one, we could do the same as VOI.

Cheers Shaun.

 

[Mopar Boy]
