Have you checked cults 3d?

I put it together quick and dirty, didn't think far into it. I'd be interested in knowing how the brass one's work out. Thanks for looking

I have a few to contribute to your book, local homeless down by a river walk/preserve. Notice the table leg.

Tadpole syndrome. Grew legs and walked away

I had brainstormed something similar, funny how the mind works. Looking at it last night, if you place the pin lower,say half way, you could adjust the pressure on the clamping force. Just turn the the spring for more/less clamping.

I'm an avid fan of drag racing, Brian actually started his career at my hometown track. His channel is among my favorites, he always finds something wild or interesting.

It allows two panels to be held on the same plane(spelling)with a small gap for filler, glue, ect. It's two squares of thicker styrene with a slot in the center, and a thin one for the spine. The spring provides the clamping force, pin holds it all together. With styrene I put the "spine" through the bottom square and bent it over and attached it with c.a. glue. The other squares floats up and down the spine, and is locked by the spring/pin.These would be better made from brass or aluminum, the thin styrene doesn't have much tensile strength and is fragile. Could be useful with chops, sectioning a body or anywhere two large sections of thin flat material are being joined. Hope this helps and thanks for looking.

Always been a fan of two door wagons. This looks great. I've got the more door I mocked up I've got to get working on.

After reading another member's post with a tip for lining up hard to clamp panel(they had an awesome idea), this idea hit me. This is QUICK AND DIRTY to see if it works. It really needs to be made from brass or aluminum. .040 for the top/bottom, .020 for the "spine" to keep the gap to a minimum. Paper clip and a pen spring, so everyone has the materials. It's holding together some cardboard in the picture

Nice job on the engine, is that heat shrink for the coupler?

Thanks, I keep nit picking this thing. I'm happy with the wheels in the rear, kinda think the fronts are a bit narrow. That might change after everything is painted up

I googled "1937 zephyr patina," a bunch came up. Jalopy journal, bring a trailer ,ect.

Surprised not seeing glue bomb included on the list.

This took forever, next time I attempt anything like this i should be committed to an asylum. Modified the wheel backs to fit the new wheel/tire combo. Fronts and rears are different so I can play with the offset within the wheel opening and get the track width looking good. The rear barely fits, I've got a bit of room to move it inward. The fronts are a slight press fit, so they can move outward if I choose. I'm looking for opinions, feel free to comment. Thanks for looking.

I've been through the same thing, they have a temporary cement available at walgreens/CVS for things like that, not that online medical advise is wise to follow. Teeth problems are the worst. Good luck to you

The light I have over my bench was 10 dollars at home depot, one of their store brands, no on/off switch. I run it off a power strip attached to the right side under the table. Cheap and bright.

Honestly it's beginners luck, watching a ton if video's and using my experience with my 1:1 projects. I keep my distance consistent, at least 50% overlap on passes,dial in the pressure and pray. There's a few blemishes on these, but I'm happy. One thing I've learned with all painting is to have the paint lay down as the panel sits in the real world. So hoods are horizontal, fenders vertical. The bumpers were acrobatics with my wrists.

Those wheels are beautiful. I remember building that kit as a kid. The chain drive was the coolest thing.

You still get it kits done and enjoy the hobby, so you figured out a system that works for you. I only use a small amount of that room, the rest the wife has taken over. Kinda like the rest of the house. Now that I think about it. Hmmm🤔

Not much progress tonight, managed to get the bumpers sprayed, doesn't look too bad. On the plus side found the original distributor for this kit, so at least the kit I stole the current one from is "complete". Thanks for looking

Really cool looking. It just screams rat fink vibes. That blower, the rubber.

In the case of my kawasaki, I've found it faster to measure and cross reference certain parts. Case in point my front fork rebuilds. The seals are available, bushings and wipers, not so much. Found another bike that used the same size bushings(Honda rebel) and problem solved. There's a "bearing" in there, its actually more stiff teflon or uhmw material that centers the stantion, those were found n.o.s. and horded.

Did the same thing on my old ford ranger. The larger filter was just small enough to weasel in and out between the manifold and frame. Figured more filtration may help it, that truck was shown no love.
