The Viking Refreshment Station ($3,600) is to beverages and appetizers as Nimitz-class super carriers are to F-14 Tomcats. In the beverage department, its cold water sink performs double duty either as a, sink or cold water bottle bath that’s capable of holding two cases of drinks and can be plugged in to stay frosty. If that’s not enough chilled storage, the station features insulated ice bins that also double as additional coolers. Speed rails help store up to five standard-sized wine or liquor bottles in reserve with glasses on the top high shelf. Lost bottle openers are a thing of the past too since this one features one welded to its side. Food-wise, four shallow stainless steel trays are ideal for condiments, while a cutting board with a wire grate slide allows for basic chef chores without creating a mess. There’s plenty of backup bins and storage space thrown in for larger two-liter bottles, dry goods or anything else you’d like to have on hand but protected from the elements — fireworks anyone? The entire station rests on 4 heavy-duty casters for easy portability if you decide not to go the built-in route (also available). Million dollar view of the Rockies not included.

Maybe I've just had some bad tie clips, but they always end up crooked. Otherwise, theyw ould be fine.

Zolland created a series of renderings of a 1955 Ford Thunderbird for a client. The car will be built from the body and components of a 2009 Ford Mustang, but will be completely remodeled to resemble the classic lines of the T-Bird - proving that the reverse can be true: from the new can come the old.

The person who sent me the photo didn't give me any information, so I had to put my google-fu to the test.

Apparently it's a 1948 Norman Timbs Special.

Quote:

Mechanical engineer Norman E. Timbs created this dramatic streamliner in the 1940s. Timbs resume already included work on Indianapolis winners, such as the famous 'Blue Crown Specials.' It took him over two years to complete the car at a cost of $10,000. The body was created in aluminum by Emil Diedt at a cost of $8,000.

Timbs was influenced by the Auto Union Type C and Mercedes-Benz W25 Avus Streamlined GP racers from the 1930s. His shape is a close approximation to these cars, the GP cars of their day.

The Special uses a 1948 Buick straight 8 engine, with dual 'Compound' carburetors and dual exhausts, to propel the 2,200 lb. car to 120 mph. The engine resides in a tube chassis, behind the driver. The chassis is built from four-inch tubes, which kick up over the rear axle. The smooth shape is long, low and sports an underbelly pan. A one-piece rear panel opens to reveal the entire rear end of the chassis.

The car was discovered in the desert pretty much intact in 2002. It was restored by Dave Crouse.
