JustinD23 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well I found a use for a bad input shaft replaced in a rebuild of a 88-89 transmission. It's been sitting in my shed for a couple years now I guess, so I took it, and some old silverware,and bearings downs to the sculpture studio on campus. It's my first real welding experience, but I thought you all may enjoy... http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/5897/img4371oh4.jpg http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/1711/img4377hb2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thats awesome man, looks cool as hell. I friend of mine made a 3800 series GM V6 into a coffee table base once, but it just ended up being a super heavy, dirty mess, haha. Nice job.

Dave-O Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I don't care who you are, that's some fancy art work right there. Consider selling any of those bad boys on eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrazilBoy Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I always thought some polished 8's and a glass top would look cool as a coffee table. Ofcourse I am married and this will remain a dream till one day I can have a man cave.. MAN CAVE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The son had a pair of Porsche rims with nice tires, stacked, with a glass top, used as a night table. I really wanted those tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinD23 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback. I used a MIG welder, plasma torch to cut the silverware, and a sand-blaster to clean up the input shaft. There are no intentions of selling it. I have it sitting with some of my other art work here in the house. For those of you motivated enough, maybe try something like this on your own. Turn you bad parts into art, and the better half will have a little bit less to complain about so far as our cars are concerned. A little And hey, in this economy, it can't hurt to save a buck or two when it's time to hand out gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I start putting them around the house and calling them art the wife might kill me. BTW that's a good looking piece you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
