Have a buddy that works at an Aston Martin/Bentley dealer and they are demo'ing one of their sites. I helped him hang one of his cabinets that he got from work last year and it was pretty good in size... HEAVY.
Well he calls me a couple days ago to let me know they have three more, and that he wants one, but I can have the other two.
They have to weigh at least 100-120lbs probably more honestly. Solid plywood all the way through.
I'm trying to decide if I want to have the open area on top or the bottom, and then just switch the doors accordingly.
They are 77" wide, 45" tall, and 12" deep. Very solid units. I am probably going to paint them gray/white to match what I have in the garage, but I have to move some stuff around. And figure out how to hang it. I figure if I get 16" deck screws in this and into 6 studs... 6 screws across and 3 rows that should be more than enough to hold it on the wall right? Is there a point that you can have TOO much on the wall studs and they move or cave in? Or is that silly? I believe the drywall in the garage is 3/4" so I'd probably use at least a 3" screw. The way they had these up at his site was about 8 dry wall screws into plywood on the wall, with a couple dabs of what appeared to be liquid nails or the equivalent on the back!?
Anyways, figured I'd attach some pictures.
He said these from the 90's. They are in near perfect condition, almost like they weren't used. Probably dedicate one of these as a detailing cabinet, and then the other I'll take to the basement and frame it into the wall then trim it out to have built in storage...
