Thanks Dave :slight_smile: I will probably extend it out a bit, but first I have to add onto the roof as the section is short, just barely sitting on the wall posts in the picture lol

#22

Played around with the roof a little more. I extended the rear wall and put the stock roof right up against it. I may shave the wall to match the roof curvature before its done

Will probably work on the pole in the car center and the beam, then I can paint the main parts and work on the deck and interior.

I wouldn’t shave the wall to match the roof. Them work motors were cobbled together from left overs and debris from the shop floor. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)To have the parts not match would just carry along on that theme.

I concur. It looks great the way it is.

Glad to hear I am not the only one who is liking the thrown together look then (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)I think the wall will remain this way. Thinking of not even painting it, just the front and maybe the rear posts, but leaving the wood plain and weathered (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Splashed some color on it this morning :smiley:

At the moment it will remain turquoise, but will probably get some color trimwork added, haven’t decided yet.

Turquoise, because they didn’t have enough of one color to paint the thing, so they just threw several colors in the bucket, and that’s what came out. Happens all the time. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

That’s how my house got painted the color it is.

I like that turquoise, looks like a good trolley color.

Nice stuff there Aaron!

#31

I think the Black & turquoise look great together. If you want to make it fancy, add some cream trim.

#32

thanks everyone. I was actually just thinking of some cream trimwork on it :slight_smile: progress has been slow the last couple of weeks as it is planting season here, so more work in the fields and less time at the bench, but will be back at it soon :smiley:
