Thread: Project "Left Overs"

Tweet

I would guess the wood is Popslar?

Hey, don't you have some rust to take care of??????

Ya know, I was just thinking about something. You have quite a few really sharp, cool cars, but you very seldom post any pictures of them. Are you shy, or what? Your black 29 is one of my favorites, but I know very little about your other cars. How about some pictures and history, aside from your gallery?

Don

Don great to see you putting this all together. I love recycling stuff for something functional After we did our addition 5 years ago, we had leftover stuff from the back of the old house. We were able to reuse 99% of stuff like the old back door and windows(from1858) and some plywood left over as well as 2x4's, 2x6 and 4x4's. End result is a cool garden shed, sided with old 100 year old growth redwood from our garage/barn rebuild. It's still one of my favorite things from the addition. We used all of the scraps, from asphault shingles and tar paper to old redwood posts and pressure tx lumber. I kind of used the amount of plywood to dictate the size of the shed. Total out of pocket was just a few bucks for door hinges and caulking.
I guess why this seems like a great car project is it's got pieces and history from your whole family.
Here's a shot of the shed.

That's really a sharp looking little building, Steve. Bob Vila would be proud. You are right, we have become a throw away society. Our Parents and Grandparents kept stuff and stored it away for future use. I guess that is why so much of history shows up on shows like Antiques Roadshow..........people back then shoved things into the attic or barn, preserving them for later generations.

Nice job on that shed, so much cooler than an aluminum storage building from Home Depot. Pretty setting it is in, too. Geez, even the birds in your neighborhood live well.

That statement has about as much truth to it as saying "Bob has GREAT taste in pinup models."

Don

Don are telling us that Uncle Bashful Bob has more than one car ('36 coupe) hidden away??? Yes Bob,we would be keen on seeing them and some history of them also.
Love the new project Don and good choice of carbs,it will be a excellent car.
I would of been keen to see the tudor in my garage too but I will just have to enjoy the build log from a distance.

Yep Whiplash, I think Bob has a few tucked away that we never hear about. For a while I thought he only came on here to post girlie(?) pictures, but I guess he really IS into cars. I know he has a very traditional 29 on 32 rails that is very sharp, and the equally nice 36. Not sure what the others are, besides that new coupe, but I think there are more.

Don

He's probably hiding them because of the "girlies". You know what kind of a chick magnet he is.

Thanks Don. After the garage was rebuilt, we needed it for a workshop/garage, so the garden shed became necessary to store all those garden tools that like to jump at the motorcycle and truck!!
As for Bob's car collection it would be nice to see. No Bob's babes though, unless he considers them anorexic!

What a bunch of humanitarians.............................kick a guy when he's down (computer wise).

Aw, come on Uncle Bob, fair and balanced.
