Big Rat A sedan

Thanks guys.
He forbade me to do yard work. I'm supposed to keep it elevated. Stitches (staples) to come out next Friday.
Doing well as can be expected. No pain, some discomfort, but I'm able to hobble around with 1 crutch.

Good Luck and I hope you're on the mend.

 good luck with the recovery. Knee issues are a real pain. Staying hydrated, and extra protein intake will speed recovery.

Good luck!!!

Get well soon!!!!

Itchin' to get back on the model !
Yesterday, (behind my wife's back), I hobbled out to the shop and took some measurements so I could figure out a layout to make a bomber seat from while I lay around in my recliner.
  

Clay, you da man.  001 

Had the staples (25) removed yesterday. They don't want me doing anything outside, but I can set out in the shop and model (like I haven't been sneaking out there anyway for the last two days)
  
Anyway, I had laid out the bomber seat in cardboard, upper left, to see how the sizes would be. Then, Making some corrections, I made one in styrene (upper right). All FUBAR, looks like a factory reject. More corrections , and back at my desk, I was able to lay out a more precise one.



The finished seat plus pad.

Nice Clay, Looks great.

Tank support brackets installed.
Scratching a new 12 volt battery and holder.
And starting to patch in the floorboards with some signage.

Good idea in te floor boards. Is that something you printed up?

Very clever - like the welds, and I like the seats.

Nice progress! :)

Looks good Clay. Nice bit of recycling.!! LOL

Nothing overly exciting to report. Putting the Gen Lee Hemi together some.
I did go out for a bit this morning and cut/bent some aluminum tubing for the exhaust pipes. I got down an old ( probably over 30 years, from the old model RR days) container of Radio Shack PCB Etchant solution ( acid). It still had some kick to etch the tubing.
Having dinner at daughters today, so may get back on it tomorrow.

Nice looking engine. Very cool.

I like those pipes Clay.  001

Got some progress worth showing today.
Rear wheels permanently on chassis.
Top chopped and pinned and mocked with front wheels in place temporary. Had to relieve front of right cowl to clear rear exhaust pipe.
Now we can get somewhere !

How sweet is that? Looks great Clay.

Looks low and mean, with a great stance. Looks fabulous.

That is looking so cool Clay. Great chop and perfect stance!!  001 

Doors chopped and front hinge locations filled. Plan is to convert to suicide opening doors.

001 Good Plan.
