Engine parts or whatever

[davesax36]

So I want to do a project with a bunch of engine internals. Pistons, crank, cases, whatever. I want to make a table that's sort of artsy, but made with stuff I actually like... you know.. Vmax stuff. I've got an idea but no parts. If anyone is dumping stuff from one of your broken motors, let me know. I'll pay reasonable prices and shipping, of course.

I am not asking you to give me parts that will be used for anything actually productive. It's supposed to all become a table base.

 

[Rollie]

Great idea. You looking for engine cases as well ?

 

[davesax36]

Sure, I guess. I'd like to do one with the pistons and crank as the base, and another with the inverted cases/head like the table on Top Gear.

The best way would obviously be for me to meet people to pick up parts. I don't even know where I'd find a junked one locally. I've never seen a motorcycle salvage yard in Norther Virginia.

Most breaker yards down here have a section divided off for bikes. unk:

 

[davesax36]

Yeah. I've only been to them in Texas. Northern Virginia is too consumed by high-priced housing to leave space for large lots full of dead vehicles. I'll look around. Maybe somewhere in Maryland. I found some stuff on ebay for less than I thought I would.

Next time you drive through here there's a big pile on the side of the shop.

Too bad I'm in Virginia. I'm not sure when I'll be in the center of the country again. Maybe I'll figure something out in the summer.

IF, I am going to Thunder, I could try to run some stuff up there.

If I'm not laid up from a redo on my hernia surgery, I'll drive up and meet you. I'm sure we'll work something out. I know Sean has a huge pile of cases by the shop. I don't know if they're complete but destroyed motors. Lots of projects between now and then, I'm sure.
