What are YOU building? Wrong answers only.

I’m finally getting around to refurbishing my Grandma’s old bike - it’s a civil war model- very rare! It’s an Iver Schwuffman motorkrate “MusclePlane” model. She rode this in the winters only and took amazing care of it! I think the fenders were added in the future. Enjoy this fine example of an over produced bike that are in everyone’s garage now.

You pulled this one up magnet fishing in the canal right?

The previous owner perhaps. I found it as yard art at a garage sale.

 

[Bike from the Dead]

I think I can build something around this early "Air Cooled Front Hub".

Good grief, did Bugs Bunny plant a comically-tiny stick of dynamite inside that thing? Both halves look like the end of Elmer Fudd's shotgun!

Oh Boy! RRBBO 17 is just around the corner and I can hardly wait to start my build! I found a 1992 Moped and plan on swapping out a the engine with the 114 cid Milwaukee 8 from my 2020 Harley Roadglide! Should be pretty sweet cranking that big ol Harley engine upswing the pedals instead of the electric starter!

It's pretty amazing what Mother Nature can do.......

How can it be both very rare and overproduced? Was it just like the Edsel, where they were so bad everybody just destroyed them and said good riddance?

 

[barnbikes]

This was my MBO concept.
Have all the parts. Life got in the way.
Maybe?

I remember those models. I had one called the Wacky Woody, which came with a little guy called the Surfnik, and a skateboard and a stingray bicycle.

Surfnik had no face really. Just nose and long hair.

OK Aluminum . . . Who will do a scratch or radical custom from aluminum?

I bought this fancy TIG machine and all I have welded so far is steel.

 

[Karate Chicken Industries]

I'm building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude.

Since you will be in Italy for awhile, will that be a 'foreign attache' ?

 

[nosferatu1381]

Hmmm... this seems fun.

that actually is what i was just sitting here trying to figure out how to make it steer. I am thinking use a dodge wheel bearing so the cab rotates and rear steer

Well, you're remembering the kit right (AMT's '29 roadster pickup/woody 2in1 kit, which was recently re-released with everything EXCEPT Surfnik) but you're conflating it with their "Wackie Woodie", which was a large scale cartoon kit they released back in '65.
Ask me how I know ...

 

[Ulu]

It could be that I built both of those at the same time. I remember not liking the wacky woody very well because it was too cartoonish.

The only other car kits I remember building were a Plymouth fury III and a Tommy Ivo slingshot.

I wasn’t really into plastic model cars. I built more balsa wood airplanes when I was a kid.

A thing of beauty!

I'll be using an inter-dimensional slip streamer to move back forth between today, May 1st and Sept 5th to see who's winning and adjust my build accordingly.
