  1. 32 roaster based custom streamlined salt racer
  2. 31 model a tudor , chopped , channeled , z-ed , bagged
  3. thnx , looks like great stuff , i use harder bondo and for stuff like that sometimes its so hard so get into shape and i find myself using metal files that stuff looks real sandable
  4. stunning and the VIC-TIM decal made me smile , soo cool
  5. whouw how cool , cant believe i missed this thread awsome
  6. nice that really looks good .. and also nice to see somebody from turkey on this forum , in fact i know and have seen a bunch of talented builders in turkey , but you seldom see them on international forums i love the hanging sign , that looks great , doors and all ... great work greets richard
  7. hi brad ooh they are there for quite a while and sooo easy to make .. they are really cloth like .. i was thinkign and thinking how to make realistic floormatts and got a crazy idea print the floormatte on matt photopaper and take like the white medical tape , usually found in emergency kits ... its white cloth like tape to fix bandage .. its so white and thin when you just stick it on the print it shines through and by rubbing it it really looks like floormatte material here it is just after putting it on and i must say over time the text got even more visible .. (when glued in the garage) here you see the tape this was after some rubbing already more visible just added a can , rattlecan and flyer on the cart and glued the cart in that position , added some depth to that earea
  8. thnx chris and yes i replyed on it jamie
  9. thnx rich !! and with the tools you will send me .. that will rewally dress up the cart !! and bench
  10. ooh yes awsome what stuff did you use exactly to fill the nose ? the pink stuff that look like great sandable bondo
  11. after dinner i pushed on and beside the dress up details the cart is finished .. i will make a second one and also a partscart almost choosen red for the color but then made it beige brown and i must say i liked it .... i painted all the handles chrome , made anti slip matts from waterproof fine sandpaper for the top and inside of the drawr ... national hotrod association and ford decal ... i also washed the floor , now these are not ment to be tiles but vinyl in checker motive .. so it needed to look like people walked on there for a while on the picture i see on the bench armrest there is a slight white blurr from the superglue .. i need to wipe that off .. pictures show everything right
  12. awsome looking engine , i love that color ..and the detail with the bend copper wire (i am righ yes ?? bend copper or brass)
  13. thnx guys .. just started on a toolcart .. very rough start and in rough primer .... made a top and bottom , drawr from copper plate choosen to make old style handles instead of modern grips that are like the strips over the whole width of a drawr ... the top drawrs got smaller pin handles and i added a side handle to push or pull the cart around
  14. i scrapped the self made wrenches .. just wasnt what i wanted after paint i didnt like them , so those i will buy ... i have to look where i can order tools and thats easy to ship the board and 3 wrenches where not for nothing , i just glued it in the back of my ratrod lol
  15. make or break ... made a wood panel and covered that in brass plate , now i can hammer in pins to hang the tools on .. there are fancy systems to hang them but i like this , self made and they looked best like this .... now when the panel is painted and the tools chromed .. i hope they look good on this shot i feel they are right .. just because everything else is handcrafted .. and etched tools would maybe be too perfect in here ??
  16. pffft managed to make a tiny wrench , still needs sanding shape wise .. but its tiny .. now not neirly as nice as etched wrenches but i just want to try and make it myself and add to the ..... now the idea is to make a set going up in size and put it on a plate on the wall i think then it will look nice next to the pervious one , i put that one on the lift leg
  17. thnx ! and yes stuff like that will be added , but i build what comes up atm ... its like i dont build stuff in a certain order lol like so much will be added tool boxes included , also a partswasher , acyteleen bottles on a cart , jack stands , extension cord .. tools and so on and well about your garage just build .. if i compare this garage to my previous thisone is 10 times more detailed .. every time you grow and want to do better , thats the fun right just started on the first hand wrench , a test .. printed on thick paper and cut the largest one out ... that was way to shin .. so i used the cut hole in the paper sheet as a template and put thin plastic under it and went over it with a black marker .. then started cutting filing and sanding the plastic untill i got this > one issue is its hard to make anything smaller then this and since i dont want to buy anything and build everything myself i have to really try hard to make smaller ones .. also some need to be duble sided and some with rings .. hmmmmzzzz put some chrome on the wrench , here next to the drill for an idea now srewdrivers and a hammer and stuff like that will be easy those are not as hard .. take a screwdriver i have not tryed one yet but i know if i cut a steel pin (like on the first picture) the edge is already flat , then i cut the pin to the right size and heat it and put some plastic on it as a handle , sand that and paint that and done .. a hammer is also easy some wood , styrene hammer head , paint that silver ... its the wrenches that will be hard to make smaller now..
  18. thnx all !! from the department of tiny stuff > made a coffee mug ..... drilled open some sprue , bend some brass wire for the handle .... and put it on the table .. with a metal coffe strirrer in it , man that was really tiny
  19. well just went on with the seat , maybe i got the best of both worlds now .. its got more flair and style but still fits in the whole shop atmosphere just made a baseplate to cover the ripped of tiles on the floor (previous glued bench) and made a raising block , angled the sofa on there , closed the tunnelgap , added a chrome logo and made arm rests and painted those chrome
  20. thnx guys and no such a sofa for me doenst fit in the theme too 60's and ....and dont worry you can say anything you feel
  21. great builds !@!
