I should probly post this up in "Trips & Ticks".........found out by accident while cutting ol' SKWIRLY like this, that my drooling actually helped lube the saw, making the cutting go mucho better!

CB Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 did even more cutting on SKWIRLY 2 today: Took the plunge and cut the cab a bit shorter, so it'll sit lower. Also shortened the bed. Bent and glued some round stock to start cleaning up the roof and windows, pre-putty. Added stretcher to bed to pull ends closer to fit cab, and fabbed rear window frame and glued on.........again, pre-putty. Layed out some possible different top edges for the bed. Test fit George's big rear end......... almost takes up the whole bed!! That wild VW beater engine gonna be hangin out back ! Methinks part of the reason I like cuttin SKWIRLY 2 up is coz that orange color reminds me of a pumpkin. Did some wild painting on the 'puter............gonna use the teeths, probly not the paint design. Cut new front panel for the bed and glued and clamped it. Started on the front axle.

CB Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hey guys, t'anks fer hangin with me & SKWIRLY 2.........it is a bit trying at times, wondering if'n I'm hearing SKWIRLY speakin' or what .................. Here's where we are at the moment: Good while back, me & George 53 did a deal on his 1/8 '32 Deuce roadster WIP, and I wounded up with a big box o' parts--Wow! Anyhows, I been dippin' into the big '32 fer some parts fer SWKIRLY 2, and this be the latest dippin'. SKWIRLY be holdin' one of the reflectors from th' 32s headlight bucket in his teeth, jest waitin' fer me to cut it to fit the headlight housing, as I already done did on the one. Was walkin' round in circles for sometime tryin' to find some roundy stuff to use for the headlight housings to fit them reflectos---finally tried some plastic pipe my bro used to use for his ham radio antenna, and it fit the headlight lense perfecto! Slowly adding hunks & strips of styrene to SKWILRLY's 'head' ( plastic surgery!), like the braces on the dam air-- OOOPS! sorry!---air dam (or air #### ), and laying out window edges, etc for puttying up. Also, very slowly adding pix to my fotki, but they be doing 'scheduled maintenance'........ Gotta get back---SKWIRLY's callin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Greetings, fellow styreney dudes SKWIRLY 2's takin' a nap right now, so I be takin' a wee break to postem up some WIP pix. SKWILRY just loves havin' his belly rubbed Started framing up his frame. No idea where it's goin' from here Close up of one of the headlight housings, cut from my bro's ham radio antenna. SKWIRLY 2 on a stick. Lookin' a li'l cross eyed Just doin' a li'l more plastic surgery on SKWIRLY 2's face. Kinda a grafting of a hunka his rear end onto his face So far, the transplant is successful---no rejection as yet This was a tense moment---ol' SKWIRLY came to while I was workin' on him-- guess I didn't give him enuff novacaine SKIRWLY 2's right headlight. Gonna leave the lense unpainted--I think, he might have other ideas tho Mucho t'anks to Mitch O'Connell, the artist who drew this here speed demon up, (from "car culture Deluxe" mag). I did change him a bit--don't wanna infringe on Mitch's stuff, a fellow artist. Anyhow, thanks Mitch, this just may be the hardest (?), and yet the most pleasant part of this build, coz ol' SKWIRLY 2 says he wants a driver. Aint sure how I'm gonna fab him, or outa what , but I'm pysched.........or pyscho. Maybe a li'l of both. oh yeah, for mo' WIP pix, startin with the 'late' SKWIRLY bug , clink the link: http://public.fotki.com/V866/crazy-cars-by-cb/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Started messin with SKWIRLY's rear end, or soon to be transaxle, coz I'm to the point where I am wanting to start fitting the body to the frame and vicey versa. This here rear end is outa my big 1/8 scale '32 Deuce parts box. Some parts were built up, and this was one of 'em. Wound up tearing the whole rear end apart coz the wheels & meats were on there and I couldn't figger out how to get them off. Finally had to break the axle tubes and found freakin nails inside ! Pretty cool way of attaching the wheels to it---shoulda read the instruction manuel what came widdit, but........ Figgered I'd dechrome the thing and was really suprised to see the almost clear stryeene stuff. Andyhows, got them nail 'axles' outa there and got to gluing it back together today so's I can place and weld it into the frame. Looking forward to start scratchin the big bad blown VW 4 banger and hookem it up to this here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
