i am making a coffee table out of my blown up motor from my Lightning, and i am trying to figure out a way to make it look nice. i am going to weld the rod at the top of the bore so the crank end it just in the bore and the shaft protrudes out. it will have a glass top that rests on the pistons.

i wanted to have it chromed once it is all welded together, but that seems liek it will be rather expensive. what is a relatively inexpensive way to make it look nice. i could always rattle can it, but i don't want it to look like crap.

IMO what would look cool is if you painted the block polished the rods, pistons and deck area then clear coated them. You know basically make it look like a good engine but it's just sitting in the floor.
On a side note anybody have one of these and if so how much of a PITA is it to move?
