Well, back from a little R&R down in Baja and
I've been chompin at the bit to get back to finishing a few
projects. In between unpacking the suitcases I cut a sheet of
plexiglass for the window and set it in place.
I'll finish trimming it out tomorrow, but
threw a little sunset in the back to give me a garage with a
view! It does look very cool back-lit.

A little more progress this week.
Rollin in the box. This is a very cool metal Snap-On bank. You
can find them all over sites like eBay. On the tool truck they
are stupid expensive!
Oh yes I can build a reasonable facsimile from
styrene but I don't have a desire to reinvent the wheel for
every project. Sometimes something like this just drops in your
lap.
A little 1/6 scale of the 1/6 scale! Yea it is
a working RC very cool to see it drive around him when he has a
TX in hand.
Wheelin the torch over.
I got the bottles last year off eBay but made
the cart. I made some run-of-the-mill tire and wheels for it but
ran into these little mags I had from a project 15 or 20 years
ago and tried um on for size.
I have to find a spot for my roached bullet ridden hwy 66 sign.

In case you were wondering what the hole to
the right of the window was for.
I concealed the safe with a hinged cork-board;
using a thin piece of metal glued to the back of the cork-board
and strong magnets on the backside of the wallboard. It stays
closed tight till your swing it open.
Just taking a minute to reflect on my
handiwork.
