The all new 2015 Corgi. Grounded to the Ground.

Like this Chevy grill I seen a while back. Tempting to go buy one :D

I found this on Facebook just now! A Camshaft lamp! How awesome is this?!

2 disc rotors, 1 bowling ball and a vise => welding jig

I've seen old car grilles used as shelves for die-casts before

Brake discs can be used for a few things. Mostly weights, but i've seen them used for lowered cars. Roll the cars on them to either get jacks or 2 post lift arms under them.

Boom, picnic bench!

Coil spring rocking chair
