There is a thread over on ls1 tech, that has many, many pages of unbelievably cool re-purposed automotive parts. My favorite is the aluminum block LS coffee table.

Haha! Nifty! Going to put some sort of 'shade' on it?

Its cool but on my wedding night I was given this advice by my buddies 80 year old mother.

"Never have anything in the bedroom that you would not like getting hit with or tied to"


Make sure you post it up when done.
