Modlbldr Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Made a stop by Hobby Lobby tonight with my wife to get some pictures framed. While there I picked up some things to get prepared for the 24 hr build on Jan 30th. Got to do some cleaning/ organizing of my work area before then.

GeeBee Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The Rabbit arrived this morning from Cincinnati, took 14 days, although I suspect it got stuck in customs for a few days, luckily it was sent by a good friend as a "Gift" so there were no charges.

Snake45 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I bought another can of that Rustoleum Clear Gloss Lacquer at Walmart today, having had good luck with the first can I bought last week. They only had one can left--I was thinking that there were only two last week, and I seem to recall looking for it there for awhile with no luck. I'll keep my eye out for more. You what they say, if it's any good, stock up because Walmart will stop carrying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Lindberg's box art helped, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 My Dodge pickup came today! Just like it looked in the ad. From a quick glance it looks like all that is missing is the instructions. I believe I'll strip it and repaint it in the same paint scheme. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I have been working for Custom Wire Industries since 1991 and I have taken home bits and bobs from work. With the boss' permission of course. From wire (Obvi!) to mesh screen to sheet plastic to coax cable, which after removing the outer shield makes awesome braided hose for custom cars and racers. Diodes and resistors, LEDs, Xuron cutters which after they lose their sharpness still make awesome spru cutters without having to buy them at $15 or so a pop.
