New fence up

[HomeRacingWorld]

Wanted to get a fence put up on the old oval for awhile. Needed something that was strong as well as looked somewhat scale appealing.

I used 3/32nd steel rod from Lowe's. I measured and spaced the rods about 4 inches apart. I drilled a hole into the mdf the same size and tapped the rods in with a small hammer.

Then I spray painted some plastic door screen I get at Lowe's silver. Finally, I used craft wire to loop through and secure the screen and the bottom edge that cannot be seen is sealed with a bead of hot glue.





Looks ok to me. It will also help keep cars from falling out into "The Dead Zone" where it can be hard to reach :)

Looks great Harry. That should last a while. Jim

I agree, I really like how it turned out. Besides, some knucklehead in a purple Mopar kept sending me off there...

Looking good - you need to do a tutorial on Pray Painting though I haven't tried that technique :)

Awesome looking fence Harry!

Do you need a tissue David? Rubbing is racing and it is how some of us make it around the track!

Yeah, I remember you leaning on me to get around the track...I didn't realize you needed training wheels!

Harry, you'd better put more of this up everywhere around the track!

[HomeRacingWorld]

I am beginning to think even a 1:1 scale version won't be strong enough :)

Harry,that fence needs a touch of rust to give it character.

[HomeRacingWorld]

Yes it does.

I am doing the other end now. But I am going to have to use the stronger plastic gutter guard there. We race too hard and just don't think the small screen will hold up.

[ListerStormGT]

Yeah especially when Jeremy and Tubby come over to jump cars. You had better just put up sheet metal... :lol:

[Tubby]

All I hear is, " Mommy, mommy the Torino is too close to the resin car! Waa, waa!" I guess next trip we are gonna have to bring a box of tissue! :lol:

What's funny is every time I hear you talk, this is what I picture:



Did your wife take this picture on Christmas morning?

I'll assume that is one of your stock Monogram wheels on the front...
