Corvette Bar
Hi everyone
Thought I'd post a couple of photos of the bar I've made out of the rear end of a C3 I bought off ebay.
Had fun building it all and now having fun drinking in it !
Picture on the back wall is my 76 C3 when I and a few other UK club members had a ride around Silverstone race track.
If your in the UK and fancy stopping by for a Bud drop me a line

Clever. It even has a "drip rail" on the front.
Very well done.

Very nice! I like it. I have a front clip that I'm planning to do something like this with.

Q: What do American beer and making love in a canoe have in common?
A: They're both f***ing close to water!
Very nice bar, BTW. It needs a dartboard, or is there one there, off camera?

That is cool! I have the rear end of a 68 that I have been trying to decide what to do with as a project. Was thinking about a shelf on the wall or something but may have to think about the bar deal.

Thanks
Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it.
Brian/Scotty - love the cold crisp taste of Bud as it's refreshing but favourite is draught Kronnenburg or stella which is affectionately called wife beater by us Brits !
68roadster/Hooh - if you've got bits from a C3 go ahead and make something fun like bar or barbecue ! that's my next idea just need some cool parts

I like it! Three thumbs up! Very cool design and you can also brag about your Alcohol Powered Corvette! It doesn't go fast, but it sure kicks ***!
