Maybe get thin panels of wood or hard plastic to put on it,to make it look like windows. would make it stronger.In case someone tripped and fell into it,wouldnt hurt your bottles,might hurt the person.A little reinforcement never hurts.

Hi diggs !
It's an old pic , and I can't really make it out. But I know the one on the left is the reverse embossed PHILADELPHIA HOP and the one on the right is either a Frisco Hop Bitters, a Utica Hop Bitters , or a Grave's Tonic Bitters . They are both Aquamarine and the color washes a little in my pic and makes them only look like they are clear in color. Brian

Hey Brian...

Excuse my ignorance here..but your dragger seems to have the grill of a Maveric, the rear end of a Duster...and the overall look of a Chevelle..???

Help me out here...of course I'm a "roundy-round" driver...you know... Go Fast...Turn Left. That's why my wife says I'm so dizzy and my boss who also drag races his 57 Apache says that circle track racers sleep in trees!

Keep on straight lining...

The Doc...[X(]

Dr.J A Chevelle ??? LOL
Sorry for the confusion ! It's a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra.
It's powered by a 1970 351 Cleveland on a diet of Alcohol poured thru a Jack Roush modified Ford Motorsports Aluminum intake with a Holley HP 950 CFM alcohol carb on top. It has an Air shifted , trans brake equipped , reverse manual valve bodied C4 automatic tranny with a 5.13 rear end gear. So on and so on !!!! I won't hold it against you .......... that you are a roundy round guy ! LOL joking !!!!
Have a good one ! And keep that need for speed... It will keep you young !!! Brian

Hi digdug. Be careful in choosing your lighting. Try to get lights that come close to natural sunlight. I bought some for my display that were supposed to be close, but the colors don't seem quite right. By the way, is your name a reference to bottle digging, the old arcade game of Digdug, or both?[:D]

Well digdug refers to digging for bottles, my ALL TIME favorite video arcade game of the same name, plus my first name is Doug. Combine it all together and you've got digdug!!
Thanks for the lighting tip too! Still trying to finish up the basement for display.
