I finally got my OSB board on the walls of my garage extension, slapped some white latex paint ( boy that stuff sucks up the paint/a booger to get coverage/1 coat will have to do!) and put my 4' Coke button ( note Canuck buttons are 3 colors/with the yellow) on the wall. It had the original bracket but with 16" studs, I had to mount 2x4's to attach for a solid mount. I don't want that thing crashing down on me or my Nash or Corvette. Pics will follow soon of some bikes hanging and some signs on the new walls.
I bought a decent/somewhat worn 12"-'63 split window toy Ichida Japan white Corvette off Ebay to match my mint in box red one I've had 25 years. I had a door handle in my parts stash, cleaned up the rust on base/rattle canned some black touch up, polished it up, Voila! They are battery op, bump and go. The pop up headlights lights pop up and flip down after stopping, the horn honks, then it starts up again bumping and going. No horn working on the white one anymore...but amazed other actions still work. A fun toy.
Another Caber prompted me with his cool post yesterday to take some shots of the Schwinn Panther ( had for years) and newly acquired ( last week) Black Phantom. Brothers from another Mother.
I got another finned toy wind up tin litho'd speed boat, made up another stand ( stand is a bit lame/almost bigger than the boat/but whatever) for the Sea Babe, cool fin.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all you Dad's. My kids/Grandson are bringing over Hamburgers to grill on the Barby for dinner. I hope everyone has a great day!
