Well boys and girls, the project has begun!! '<img'> Does anyone recognize the C-96?? This piece came from the left side! If that isn't recycling! '<img'>

So far, I'lve only cut out the bottom piece and bought the angle iron for the legs. I still have two more levels to cut out. Its slow going because every indent is cut with my wiz wheel. The middle level, once its done, will hold three bottles on each side and the top one will hold one on each side. The whole thing will be painted red. (with Joshs amazing painting skills it will cover up some of my not so good welds! '<img'>)We are also toying with the idea of putting diamond plating on the top level. (left overs from the torn apart final lap game!)

Here are some pictures! I hope y'all can tell what it will look like when its done!
Let me know what you think!! '<img'>

You all are way too kind! I can see that it's really hard to see what the final product will look like just from the pictures. I appreciate all the encouraging replies!
Thanks y'all!!

Kate......do we see those flanges on 3 sides bend upwards? Then the bottles slide downward, toward the center of the rack, and you can move the display without the bottles falling all over the floor???  Good idea!

Thats exaclty what you see! Because I am not very accurate with the wiz wheel, making each notch exaclty the correct size was proving impossible. I then bent all the sides with the bender I got for my birthday!  I can't take credit for the idea though, that was all Josh! He's a smart critter isn't he? '<img'>
