Amazing what you can do with a superglue cap, and some tubing. The car is afrom a key chain. This will be the sign post for another project I have in mind. Now the pole has to be painted.

Hi Junior... Thats a cool idea and pretty creative. Now if I could just make some with the car brand dealer and lighted in 1/25th scale .

[Mercman]

Started on the building/garage for this one.

They will offer all sorts of race cars, not just NASCAR.

Good start on your shop, please keep updating as you can.

Today the cement truck showed up to pour the floor.

Also Bryan is up checking out the new roof. Careful Bryan, even if you have a safety rope!!

They're already arguing on which is real racing.

[Mercman]

Some of the equipment started to arrive today. Tool chests,and cabinets.

All are scratch built from plastic.

Today the GOODYEAR truck showed up with a load of racing slicks.

Also acquired a new shop truck. Which is a WIP.

Preview of the shop wall. This is not all of the equipment, but the pieces I scratch built, except the pop machine.

Getting ready for the Sat. Nite action.

[Mercman]

Took some brass, and tried my soldering skills.

Also found a floor jack.

Now I have to try to solder a pipe rack, and a few other goodies.

...looking good Mercman, always enjoy watching your builds!

[Mercman]

A few more shop items. Compressor.

Pipe Rack.

Hoist, which is in the paint shop drying.

And finally a couple of shots of the interior.

Thanks Danny, as I do on your builds. Your garage was fantastic.

Hey Junior!.. Very cool build!

[Mercman]

Here's the newest equipment to arrive, engine hoist, and stand. Both scratch built.

The hoist is from Evergreen stock, and brass for strengthening.

[Mercman]

Decided we needed a warehouse for all of the projects at Racing Specialties.

Just starting construction on it.

[Mercman]

Here's what the front will look like.

And one of the sides. Gotta have a door to get the transporter rig in and out of.

Note that the floor is done. The interior of this one wont be quite as busy as the shop.

Here are shots of the roof I constructed. Cut some plexiglass stringers to get the plastic to hold it's shape.

Here you can see how it'll look. I am adding trim to the sides yet.

Darn it Bryan, weren't you told to stay off the roof.

Looks like a OSHA guy is there keeping an I on him.
