Very nice! I think I responded to one of your posts on ColaMachines.com - have you been a member there for some time? Welcome to SMC! Do the men always get the bench seat on the left?  |

I like the set-up too. Just curious how you get behind the bar to serve your friends?

Very cool.  I was wondering what happened to James Dean. He ended up in your garage. Did you get his spyder too? Welcome to the site. |

Welcome to the site. Great setup. Would that be a Vette poking its nose into the picture?

The bar is on casters so it rolls out. |

retrobob-- Outstanding! I was going to ask if you had plans for that bar and back-bar. I showed your set-up to my wife and she said. "COOL!" That is a ringing endorsement from someone who does not alwasy appreciate my hobby! Tim |

retrobob-- Outstanding! I was going to ask if you had plans for that bar and back-bar. I showed your set-up to my wife and she said. "COOL!" That is a ringing endorsement from someone who does not always appreciate my hobby! Tim There are no plans, except for what I have in my head. Generally speaking, plans get in my road when I get started on a project. I used mostly scrap material I already had in the shop. Therefore, I had to be very creative in a couple of instances to make the curves on the wall unit and the base for the bar. I love the challenge of trying to make this stuff myself. That is why some people call me "cheap bob"!  |

I'm doing basically the same theme in my garage. Looks fantastic!!!! May I ask where you got your metal trim around your bars and the metal edge on your bar top? Thanks Rick
One more question: What color laminate did you use on the countertop?

I restored a Victor many years ago and had to buy a 200' roll of plastic trim to face off the countertop. I have a lot left if anyone is interested.

The chrome trim is nothing more than auto body trim you can purchase at any auto parts store. It comes in a variety of sizes from about 1 inch (I used on the wall unit) to 1/2 inch (used on the bar) to 1/4 inch used on the table edging. Very easy to apply and stays once you get it in place. Make sure you have it where you want it because it is a real treat to remove it if you make a mistake. Believe me, I know! Also, if you use the chrome body trim, make sure you strip the tape from the back a little as at a time as you apply it. I usually did about 6 inches at a time. You can actually buy the edging but is damned expensive and you have to cut a slot in your table or bar edge. It is a real pain in the neck. If you want to PM me your phone number, I will be glad to share the details of my build. |
