Bryan

i'm still afraid to find out. wonder if we could get a group discount?

[A383Wing]

yea..I have already had one stroke this year...I don't need another

Bryan

[A383Wing]

Got to thinking....that would not actually be hard to make...get a pic of yer car, have someone do a vinyl wrap poster, put all the bench wood side by side, install vinyl wrap picture, slit the wrap at the board grooves....make bench or table

Bryan

[held1823]

i was thinking the same thing, except with using a resin bench/table like shown. the surface should be a lot smoother than wood

[A383Wing]

yea..even better....I bet the cost of the wrap and the materials would be way less than what he wants for one already built....then there's shipping costs....plus you would not be stuck with a green 'Bird...unless you are Stuart

WOW! That 69 hemi charger bench is pretty cool.  

[Troy]

That's a pre-made or kit bench. Usually you order the legs (they're plastic) and supply your own wood. Sooooo, if you could get the image printed on vinyl I don't think it would be terribly hard to DIY. The spacing and alignment would be hardest.

Gives me an idea -
Daytona and Super Bird images on Skateboards and call them - The Fast and the Furious

[moparstuart]

  these are only 7200.00  but you get free shipping  ,  OH what a bargain

[A383Wing]

way more than I would have guessed ....that's pocket change for you, Stu....maybe you should use the 'Bird bench as your front seat in yer car

Bryan

[held1823]

please tell me that decimal point is off a space to the right.

although that would still be about triple what i'd even consider...

[A383Wing]

that thing better have heated seats & AC for that price...no cup holders either

[moparstuart]

  Jason        RANDR  called them and they said 72 hundred bucks  but free shipping 

[A383Wing]

I'm sorry, that just outrageous......wonder how many he has sold?

I gotta find me a vinyl or sign store and see how much it would cost to blow up a pic of my car and make a bench....

Bryan

[Ghoste]

Beautiful idea but I agree, that price is insane.

[Fred]

I'll just sit in my charger instead!

[Troy]

Are they hand painted or something? I wasn't under the impression that they were. I could be wrong.

Troy

[Ghoste]

I don't remember but I've seen them somewhere at a swap meet or concours.  If they are painted its being done on a larger than "handcrafted" sort of scale I think.

[held1823]

the artwork is likely original, and some of the other benches are more elaborate than the superbird one; check out the contour of the charger ones shown above. the seller may well have them custom molded for him, but the price is still staggering.

$300 (or less) will buy a similar bench at the link below, and a vinyl graphic of someone's choice can't be too expensive, i wouldn't think?

we have a local solid waste district that sells items (such as kid's wagons) made from recycled plastic. i can't remember if they had chairs or tables. i can look into what all they offer, if someone wants.

[moparstuart]

they are not plastic and they are hand painted  ,  per jason

[Troy]

The legs are either plastic or metal - take a good look! As I said, you can buy the legs as a kit and supply your own wood for the seating.

   Interesting.

  imagine the rubber necking that could happen with one of those placed well in a back yard or park setting....

[moparstuart]

i emailed him 






Hi Stuart,

Thanks for the interest.  My benches are hand cut from poplar wood planks.  Each bench is an original hand painted piece of art.  I finish the planks with an automotive clear coat, the shine is deep and reflective.  The price is $7200.00 with a 50% deposit to begin.

Thanks again for the interest,
David
