  • In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta ("Dirty Money," "Hammered," "Against the Grain," "Trash for Cash") lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy speaks! And builds a couple of very unique car tables for a retail store.
    You can see a parts and supplies list and read notes from Jimmy on the MAKE blog post: blog.makezine.c...

    Man I did not expect them to turn out so nice. When it came to you attaching the metal to the draw, I was seriously doubting the turn out. What a fantastic turn around, very nice.

    I'm laughing my ass off just imagining that the title of this video is "Classic Dodge Dart Restoration" and someone is just sitting there horrified watching each new step

      Yeah me to They are horrible people the car wasn't in that bad condition I mean little rust but the interior was great and the quarter panels weren't dented it obviously didn't run but that could of been someone's dream car and they just destroyed it that could been restored !

    • @KieranRand
      @KieranRand 9 років тому

      As a car lover I also cringed the whole way through this video but in america they are just like a subaru or nissan in japan they made so many they sell for really cheap so there is probably another one out there in the same condition.

    Jimmy, you are just frankin' amazing!!! This was awesome to watch. I was real happy to read that, you saved this crushed metal from leaving our country, only to probably be used to make a cheap toy, and sold back to the U.S. for 10x what it was originally worth. A nice little KMA gesture. I enjoy watching your videos, always a treat, and learn something every time!!!

    I think these are great, perfect for a store. This is multi-discipline building at it's best... metal fab and wood working + conceptual design. Very cool. Somehow this video reminds me of the nature footage you see of leaf cutter ants. He cuts the green panels off the car then carries them into a hole in the ground. If you don't like what he's making, you should at least respect the time and effort involved. Keep up the great work Jimmy!

  • @S0METHINGS0METHING
    @S0METHINGS0METHING 11 років тому

    I will admit, I was very skeptical, until the end. And then I was blown away. I didn't have the vision of the finished product I guess. I usually have a vivid enough imagination to picture what it would look like. What I pictured didn't look good, but this turned out cool. Nice job.

    Don't be sad for the Dart. It lived it's life as a car but that life was long over. Now it's Living as art. It has a second chance at making a visual impact on someone.

  • @ianc4901
    @ianc4901 10 років тому

    I really liked this build, I know it upsets some car lovers but to me, this is perfect re-purposing of a used up car that has had it's life.

    • @crazy4chickens
      @crazy4chickens 10 років тому

      Ian a car has never fully had its life or run its course what they did was destroy something with a story and a past to make a table that may never make anyone feel as free as the car once did. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't be so upset if they did it with a Honda but that dodge dart had more life in it than most of its age I'm sad to see it go

    • @ianc4901
      @ianc4901 10 років тому

      I respect that opinion, maybe I just don't recognise the value of the car, I don't remember seeing one before and have no idea of it's history and no nostalgic memories of a time when they where commonplace.
      To me those old vehicles were heavy, lumbering, bad handling with poor brakes and terrible safety records that had over sized engines that drank far too much leaded fuel and belched out way too many toxins into the environment. The less of them that are driving around the better. I don't appreciate them for their designs either, maybe it's because I'm European and our cars were designed totally differently.

    This episode hurt. Hate to see a decent car that was restoreable be turned into a table for a clothing store display. I'm sure he got a nice chunk of money for his work. I have to agree, it did look cool in the end, but I wouldn't have used a classic.

    Very cool. In the stills near the end (9:18 or so) I can't tell if the glass is lit from below or above. Did you install lighting of any sort between the tabletop and the car, or is it just spilling through the glass top?

    All the dart needed was a little love now its left to die stripped of its clothing cold and alone its a shame to think someone probably had their first kiss in that car met their wife in that car started a family in that car outgrew that car and sold it with tears in his eyes hoping the car would go to a good home where it would stay on the road until the oil reserves dried up making countless more people grin from ear to ear as they slam the pedal to the floorboard the secondaries on the carb fly wide open as their heart skips a beat or two before the tires catch traction on the hot asphalt the smell of gasoline and burnt rubber fill the air as their head slams against the headrest the teenager in his import tuner left at the red light his girl sitting in the passenger seat cheering him on speeding off into the night bound to end up in another first kiss
