It was green...Thanks for the compliment.

Another teaser pic before the unveiling you say???? OK...
Stay tuned later tonight!

SS Tim · 06-19-2013, 10:13 PM

OK Eric, its later tonight more so there.

**too much stuff** · 06-19-2013, 10:16 PM

Pics do NO justice here at all! Still debating on the bucket seat bar stools and extreme bend hook coat rack on the end. Still want to incorporate emblems as drawer/door pulls but haven't found a way to make them work yet. Years in the making and still have final touches to do, possibly wiring for lights and such. When does it end?
No one said i was sane!

VA72C10 · 06-19-2013, 10:18 PM

That is cool.

That is a beauty, but it could use a tilt wheel (for those drinking while driving occasions). Oh, and a horn for when the service is slow.

**70shortfleet** · 06-20-2013, 01:04 AM

Nice work Eric, but I thought for sure you were going to use your Kilometer dash on that! But that speed warning will work too.

rattle69 · 06-20-2013, 01:27 AM

Umm, that ac switch better cool the drinks!! Looks like a fun project but would rather see all that in my truck!

PAWS 72 · 06-20-2013, 01:37 AM

Well guys if had been reading between the lines we could have figured this out.

Look at the title.Raising the Bar

But damn that is nice and creative. Love it. I think you have started something bud.

**lolife99** · 06-20-2013, 04:56 AM

love it!

**special-K** · 06-20-2013, 06:37 AM

Looks standard height to me.

Great idea! And,it came out really nice! If I'm ever over at your place I promise not to stick gum under it.

**mac808** · 06-20-2013, 06:47 AM

Too cool. You are the man.

55chevy · 06-20-2013, 10:17 AM

For the mancave that has almost everything, really sweet! Put a steering wheel on it and hook up a driving video game, run some ducts to the A/C, instant truck simulator.

72BlckButy · 06-20-2013, 10:58 AM

I wanted to, but there is no tach in that one. I think i will run this for awhile, then the kilo speedo, then the mexican kilo speedo setups. Easy to change.

Standard height if you are 6'6". I appreciate the no gum. Come on over anytime...

I tried to add some unique items to this "bar".

Thanks for all the compliments!

Vintage Windmills · 06-20-2013, 08:41 PM

Nice! But where did you find a good contractor to build the wood parts

6-6? no wonder you make me feel short at 6-1

**special-K** · 06-20-2013, 09:38 PM

Is Jim Beam & Ginger Ale on the SPID?

I can invite jim and ginger over to hang out with miller if you show up. I may have chipflyer make a neat spid for this one...

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-21-2013, 08:15 PM

Eric, that's awesome! You have more rare pieces on your bar than most have on their truck!

I think it'd be awesome if you installed an ice dispenser behind the glove box door.
