I like it. But does it keep the beer cold?

BG,

You are listed as super cool in my book.

My wife would kill me if I did that. I'm still trying to get her to let me hang an airplane propellor clock above the dining room window.

BG,

Very cool coffee table. I'd love to have that as my conference table at work! 8)

I'm out cleaning my shop and I couldn't help but think about the coffee table pic you posted. This is an engine/tranny that I use to locate mounts in frames. It just sits around the shop most of the time so the board on top lets me use it for a table....definitely not as classy as the aluminum block one in your pic.

Call me paranoid, But both wheels and tires are a safety issue. I feel much better putting new on rather than putting in an unknown.

Got the axle/springs/etc today. Decided to use the leftover angle for the tongue instead of spending $70 plus a 20 mile trip for the 2" square.

The finished frame will be right at $500.00 But it'll be exactly what I want.

Tires, definitely new, but wheels, I scam 'em at the boneyard.

Wow, BG, suppose that tongue is strong enough? :lol: Looks like 4" channel, is that right? If so, should be strong enough for a thirty footer! :shock:
