Olskoolrodder Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Nice IH rat,Chuck,I digs it!!! Rob,hope ya feel better soon and whatever it is that be ailing ya settles the way you want As for mine,it isn't all set up just yet. Since steel shed's make for ovens this time of year and I haven't got it insulated/climate controlled yet (working on figuring out how to pay for it,LOL) I must wait until evening to go out to the new workshop,but I have been putting some stuf out there,getting it ready With the heat,I'm about afraid to leave the building suppiles out there perminently yet (paints,glues,putties,etc),but I'll be trying to use the bench to actually work on builds this week (maybe piddle some this eve,I have some lights hanging afterall )
rmvw guy Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Bench is a mess today. Went to a car show, now I've got to get back to work on the Dune Buggy! Oh and I saw a Thing today at the show!
JunkPile Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Hey Ron, I saw one of those Things the other day too. What a name for any car
zaina Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I saw a thing at a show too...kkoa leased spectacular in Salina, ks a little more ratty than the one yout saw
cobraman Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Bench is a mess today. Went to a car show, now I've got to get back to work on the Dune Buggy! Oh and I saw a Thing today at the show! Oh my ! A dune buggy ! I am so glad mine is done. Good luck with yours. looking forward to seeing it finished.
Olskoolrodder Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Nice Type 181 (uh....Thing ) I didn't get work on a build on the new bench/in the new workshop today...as expected,it was 10-15 degrees hotter in there than outside,LOL! I DID get most of it all set up however,and ready to build (late eves,early mornings). Since I can't afford to just jump in and electrify/insulate and panel it all at once,I'll spring for a bit every pay period of hers,and my once monthly pay as well until I get it easier to keep it cool in there (by which time I'll need to keep it warm ). Nice to walk out there and see all my stash stashed in there,as well as the few built-ups I have left
rmvw guy Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Bench is still a mess a week later, not much has changed. Still working on Meyers "Manx."
cobraman Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Your Manx is coming along nicely. That kit drove me nuts. Good luck with your build.
rmvw guy Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Your Manx is coming along nicely. That kit drove me nuts. Good luck with your build. Thanks Ray, I didn't get it done before our club meet this past Thursday as expected, it has been a slow build for me. I want to build at least one more for off road, maybe it will go faster. Something about the engine just doesn't look right to me. The fuel pump on the side is an early VW 36 hp version is what I'm told.
cobraman Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I just noticed... doesn't that cardboard figure that comes with the kit look a bit like Sylvester Stallone ?
Pat Minarick Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Here's my plastic garage today. But what am I building? I would like to see more of this one!
Ira Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 MORE CORVETTES!!! This Weekend I am working on a way to mount the wheels on the CordVette and I have started a New Project! LSR Vette Team actually started a few years ago when I Attached a Corvette Indy on the front of a '59 El Camino. I did nothing more to the Transporter untill a few days ago... I started playing with the Attempt 1 LSR Car and realized it would fit in the bed of the Transport, so I washed up the Transport and applied a coat of Filler/Primer on it. Then I started modifying both cars to make my New Bubble Top Project...LSR Vette Team!!! Progress photos coming soon...
Olskoolrodder Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Didn't get to work on much of anything today-too much errands to run,LOL! Here's some pics though,with a new score (just sitting) on the bench,picked up today I did shoot another couple coats of clear on the Merc I'm working on...I'm beginning to believe the clear I have (Duplicolor "Protective Clear Top Coat") is'n actually a "glossy" coat,just a sealant-that's ok for this build,but would be a pain on others if I don't find out (it doesn't say anywhere on the can....anyone?)
Jared Roach Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) decided to restart on this build. Ugly before shot: wheels: much better. Edited August 5, 2012 by Jared Roach
Kyle Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I've been out of the hobby for a while. I moved into a new house, got married, etc. So today I decided to get my sh*t together and start working on some old projects. But first I needed a bench, so I built a simple 5'x2' bench in our spare bedroom. I also set up my lathe in the garage and purchased a mill attachment for it. I pulled out my old Viper drift car to finish as well. I'll hopefully be done this week some time.
Kyle Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks, about $20 and an hour of my time was all it took.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Getting a couple of my kids ready to go the the local club meeting.... And later, actually doing some work.....
rmvw guy Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Ready to start work on the Texaco truck once again. Happy Saturday!
mademan Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 The little bit of time, that I have to spend on models today is going to cleaning up these 2 ratty '68 impalas, and hopefully put in some time on a few of my trucks.
64SS350 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I have'nt taken the time to do this yet, so this is what I've been working on. 99% of my builds will turn into drag slotcars. Thanks for looking. http://s1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb455/64SS350/paintbooth/
Nick Winter Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 My Bench as of last night (nothings really changed) Nick
