Was going to the camp for the weekend but heavy rain put a end to that.
I am repainting some bodies to match the cars that ran in the Trams-Am races of the 70's. These will all have non button magnet t-jet chassis and after market wheels and tires,

Hey Austin!

Please share pictures with us of them!

I was going to work on slots but got side tracked. we had a rainy day the other day also.

When I went out to the garage I found a water fall coming in through the flat roof above my work bench and tool box.

I was fit to be tied so to speak!

My hammer drawer was full of water and my band saw was getting wet too.

Not good.....

I just got done instructing the wife how to put a patch of roll roofing on the leak to temporarily fix it till I can get back up to speed to do it right. My doctor will not let me do anything do to my surgery and it kills me that I can't.

Needless to say my wife knows her $#!t and can hold her own to home repairs. Fixed it right up bless her heart!

I knew she was a good catch when I married her!!!!! :D

Now that it is finished I will head down to the basement while her and my daughters are at ballet practice.

Many more chassis need bodies put on them......

I can't wait to see your new projects your working on!

:D :D :D

Austin, your cars turned out nice :handgestures-thumbup: I really like the Mustang T-Jet, and you got her pretty low down, not easy to do with the interior intact.
PS- when taking pix, do yourself a favor, and use a Tripod... blur free every time :twocents-mytwocents:
