Who cares! It's a coffee table built from engine blocks! Are you going to use a glass top for maximum visiblity?

No engine blocks, he has 2 heads to work with. Who Cares ? not me, just commenting on how heavy the stuff is. I'd hate to stump my toe on it.

Go for it! I bought a white bucket seat from a 64.5 Mustang out of a junkyard for $10. I mounted it to a computer chair base. Now I have an awesome chair for the garage.

Go for it. I would like to make a water feature out of a couple heads, but my wife would freak out!
