Corvette Desk

[Steve in Mi]

The Deltagram that came out yesterday featured the 'Project of the Month' for Jan. - an Oak desk built as a Corvette rear facia complete w/LED tail lights.

Here is a link but I think it will require registration.

I think it is a must have/must see for the Vette guys.

I tried searching for it elsewhere, GOOGLE, and nothing.

My brother (Tom Finney) and I (Mike Finney) designed and built this corvette desk. Our father had service stations as we grew up and we acquired our love of cars through the years. I myself love cars and love to work with wood and my brothers has a body shop and car lot so with our combined know how we are building car furniture. I have my wood shop and some old Delta Rockwell tools which my dad had purchased from an older gentleman that was retiring and now I have acquired them. My dad had the tools for at least thirty years and I have no idea how long the gentleman before owned them, but they are all in great working order after all these years. The desk is an actual corvette rear bumper cover with working tail lights using LED lights. From the bumper cover back is all hand built. The sides have a plywood frame which is covered with fiber glass and finished. The desk insert is made of oak with solids and veneers. All the draws have full extension draw slides. The top has a glass insert with the corvette flags engraved on the underside. The desk is painted the 50th anniversary tri-color. We had a hard time with the draw pulls but we found these Chevy air cleaner wing nuts and they worked perfect. We are working on a step side pick up desk now and hope to have it done soon. I hope you like our project. We look forward to hearing your comments. Thanks Michael Finney Thomas Finney
