I am using an old patio table for a painting stand that once had a glass top. The glass broke. While the table's legs were sitting on the side of the house waiting for me to break them up/take apart enough to fit into the garbage can, I needed something to hold up the hood from my 914 while I painted it satin black. The light went on as I saw the old patio table's legs and I have been using them as a paint stand ever since. By the way, my wife is a jewelry maker and always buying jewelry tools, so we never have any arguments when I buy tools for working on my cars!

Make sure to get it dirty so an iron does not show up next to it!

... my wife is a jewelry maker...
So, has she ever given any thought to making 914 related jewelry?
