tbill Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 todays 'bit-o-stuff', had to take some liberties due to space and available stuff, but I like it so far. still have to wire the plugs, and do it all 5 more times, but here is a mock up so far, stay tuned....

1966chevyss Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 where did you get the car paint stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 where did you get the car paint stands they are Tamiya, i bought two of them on-line thru amazon, and i got one at my local hobby lobby. it's a two stand kit, one for holding the body, and another to hold parts. and they are on a 'turn table', makes life much easier.

mustang1989 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I may end up getting one of those painting stands. I didn't even notice until it was pointed out. Thanks for the info Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmcguire Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I've seen them at Hobby Lobby now and then and if you go online you can get one of their 40% or sometimes 50% off coupons good on one item... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Tom/Daniel:Got it today! Fortunately I was at the Wichita Falls HL while out of town and not the Corpus Christi location which has nothing. Thanks a million guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Joe, do yourself a favor, glue AND tape the top and bottom halves of those stands together as they will come apart at the most inopportune time....ask me how i know.......lol.

tbill Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 as Oscar said, I was painting or primering something, and it looked sweet, so I kind of tilted it to see if I had good coverage on the rockers, and poof......it came apart and my fresh paint/primer was roof down in my booth........was not happy....... lesson learned, and passed on, lol. still need to take my own advice and 'doctor up' the newest one before I have a repeat performance........ and back to the builds at hand, I should have some new pic's tomorrow at some point, I have 3 more engines set up to run wires and make fuel lines for. stay tuned.....

tbill Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 thanks guys. have had a bit of a family issue this past week, so no bench time, but I think tomorrow morning I can get into the 'zone' and get something done [i need it for therapy this week.....], hope to have some new pic's of more wired/plumbed big blocks tomorrow. I also got my last color of flocking I had been waiting for, so another interior can get carpeted as well. thanks again for following along, check in tomorrow for some new pic's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
