    Some cars for the junk yard.

    Some cars for the junk yard.

    Ok --- now the Rich B^&*$S Packard is in the junk yard and has given it's front end to a Packard pick up, but has gained a motor in the deal . The motor is scratched of brass and is a V12 , copied fairly close to a real V12 . Needs painted still. The timing gears most likely don't jive but I had...

    Some cars for the junk yard.

    OK here is "Packard meets can opener". There is even a Prototype for this!! This car is a BUICK but the injury is about the same. The Buick most likely got fixed but MY Packard belonged to a VERY RICH crotchey old crone who would NOT be caugt dead in a REPAIRED car--so off to the junk yard for...

    Some cars for the junk yard.

    Here is proof of the Packard truck. Also a picture of the kind of Packard I used part of to build the pick up and the one that ran into the can opener. I also used another 40 ford hot wheels beast in the Packard pick up --along with front fenders from a 35 Ford! Thats right --- in my delusions ...

    Some cars for the junk yard.

    Perhaps with Paint?? :o Good eye there Mike --- No ----the one I made the Hudson from was green to start with , the sparkely Blue one is one just like it -- I did not think of needing one for comparison till after the Hudson was done. Just for catching that here is another Hudson --this one...

    Some cars for the junk yard.

    Yes Mike --1/64 which is hot wheels size --In fact this WAS a hot wheels. I learned long ago to look at everything to see not what it is -- but what COULD it be, which I think every modeler does --even if he is unaware thats what is going on. The radiator in one of these pictures is the ribbed...

    Well Mike , I guess I will show you more of the junk I treasure.:rolleyes: I had this hot wheels thing they called a 40 Ford pickup--- looked more to me like it should be a Hudson pickup -- see if you see it that way too. First step was to get a grill more like a Hudson in . With a door gone...

    An easy to build tool to make corrugated metal.

    Dave --- Tree farmer ?? Hmmm ? :rolleyes: You grow BASSWOOD? Perhaps I could make you a Kit after I get moved and set up IF you got a bunch of Bass trees :confused: or was the fishing pole idea to Catch Bass -- the squiggly kind? Dave

    Learned a lesson on these log cars!

    Thanks for the thought but the amount of weight one could add that way is not enough. I think perhaps when I do get a place to run them ,that to PUSH them back in FRONT of an engine might work if there is no other type of car in the string. Dave

    Learned a lesson on these log cars!

    Thats a good idea --that way you can tear your own hair out rather than asking for help with it!:rolleyes:
  16. Luvtoscratch

    Learned a lesson on these log cars!

    The lesson I learned was NOT to build 24 of ANYTHING at once! I should have learned that when I built 4 brass Climax enginnes at the same time -- repetition is awful! This fiasco came about as I was building an MDC skelton log car, they are cast metal , that is grained to look like wood. I...

    a scratchbashed service station.

    Yeah , I 'm thinking I might have turned the pump bases on the unimat --- been a while since I built that model -- about 8 years or so. I never make notes or take pictures of progress --- not till I got hooked up with Railroad forums that is! What the Rubber legs are for is to make legs on...

    Greetings from Sunny Las Vegas

    Gary, I guess I better show a LOT more if I want to live down the handle I picked! Not being a fan of the Family guy -- ( NEVER having watched actually --I lean more to South Park) I had no concept of the impression I might have given :confused: Dave

    Greetings from Sunny Las Vegas

    My son lived in Fraser for a time, actually our address is in Tabernash , none of the towns around there are much bigger than a teacup. Demographics changed ?? You mean there did not used to be so many wingnuts -- I know---- but they are everywhere these days -- we got some real rich...

On the other hand I Will be helping my son raise my 4 year...
