Dallas' Joel Hester turns the rusted hoods and trunks of old American cars into functional, striking tables...

His website lists current available inventory, in the form of photographs of the hoods in their raw state, (we're partial to the Lincoln Towncar in copper, hint hint), but each piece is one-of-a-kind, as unique as the car it came from.

As the tables are custom, Joel says, "if you don’t find what you are looking for here, shoot me an email with the colors you desire & i will find it and email you several hoods to choose from within your color range."

These tables start at $850, and are available through Modern Steel Furniture in Dallas, TX.

What a great idea! I want one, but can't afford to even gaze at it. I think that recycling efforts like this that offer products that people need and want, should be subsidized by our government. Yeah, I want an old rusty car table that keeps something out of the heap yards, but I was forced to go out and pay just under $100 for a new crafting corner table made from plyboard that will eventually end up in the heap.
