Rat / Rod Model Kit Bash Challenge 2023

[Kevin B]

ThundrrrJr built one of those, it's a cool kit. He really learned about internal combustion from it. The belts were a bit weak though, didn't really have what it takes to turn the reciprocating mass smoothly for any period of time. I always thought it would look fun wedged in a muscle bike

Great minds think alike.

I built a full scale 283 SBC at age 7...with Pop helping lift the heads & help with torque wrench.

Water slide decals and me do not get along. Fat fingers, bad eyes, and shaking tremors.. get in the way. Anyhow it looks good enough for what it is.

the leaves are changing color, the man cave is cooling down. I'm getting in the mood to build a model. I might build the other vintage metal kit I have.

Well we're at time to put it in the Box until another day.

For:
Bumpers & done.
I just too fatigue to do anything else probably the rest of today.

It might not look like much, but this "skate park" marble run took the better part of two hours. Kept the swears to a minimum, due to my 9 year old assistant

There's a geared crank handle on the back, spins the wheels to lift the marbles back to the top.

The wheels that came with this 39 Chevy sedan look too modern for the sedan and my book. So, I went ahead and put some Chrome Moon disc over them.
