Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Remember Andy, the welder/manager lodger in summer, of BBQ and JD Honey fame?

He is back for three days.

Of course, like Mickey, he likes to play as well, and actually came home early from work yesterday, and while I was on the roof, drilling and screwing, and drilling and screwing, a LOT, I suddenly heard movement behind me on the ladder.....

So suddenly I had company, and in tandem the job went twice as fast.

Early selfie. Not the ideal angle to work at, but got stuff done.



Screws in, followed by hexagonal caps on them.



First two rows of six completed.



Andy posing it up.



Once capped, we cleared the roof.

Then of course with too much light left, I needed to see what the replica pump looked like where I had visualised it for years.

So we dragged it out from where it was packed at the back in the corner of the garage.

Tried different head dresses.

Note, this is STAR Gasoline, not Sinclair, so a bit of editing to come.


I will also build a 200mm tall plinth for t to stand on, and need to fit a light inside the globe if I do go with it, or a stalk for the star if that gets used, to have it about 150mm above the top of the roof.



Globe needs to be sign written



Further back.



Add in the Yeti, and you get the picture.
