That dangling sign is a nice touch. Seems like it should have two gas pumps or some.

Front section needs some stuff in a couple of areas. It'll have to be stuff I can make. Like this keep out sign. Buck, there are mounting studs on the island where another pump had been, but was removed at some period in time   Also have started getting another 'barn find' ready. This one I want to be pretty pristine. Time ravaged some, but not all rusted out. Somewhere between showroom and junk.  |

The 'barn find' is done except for some weathering touchups. Almost a shame to put it in a shed   But, here's the start of the shed floor - scribing some wood into another piece of mat board.  |

The dio is back......with a vengeance  Sometimes I do things so incredibly stupid, I surprise even myself. I cleared the Challenger yesterday and had a small amount of catalyzed clear left. I had been wondering, ever since I decided on a creek for the rear of this thing, if a thin coating of clear would portray water. I KNOW that it would be volatile to foam. Not paying attention that I didn't have ALL of the creek bed protected by acrylic paint, I started pouring the leftover clear on. I foolishly didn't dribble a small test amount on, I poured it. Came back later to check, and the clear had found a lot of exposed foamboard and ate clear thru some spots traveling all the way thru the 1" thickness and out of the bottom !! I think Jeff Dunham's puppet, Walter, has a name for me - dumass. Closed off the bottom and am now piecing in to close the damage (red lined area). LORD, How did I ever manage to live this long?  |

Can you put a tree or some bushes there? Maybe a 33 Ford Coupe body thrown in the creek.

I have finally deceided on the shed placement. I originally was going to place it back by the creek, but it just didn't look or fit right.   |

Had a pleasant morning in the studio. Did a little work on the walls of the shed, then I pulled off the paper stuff for a change and went to rounding up, and making junk to spread around. Don't know what that large engine came from, but I drilled it out some. It'll lay around in the weeds somewhere. That portion of bench seat will probably end up in the creek ;D  |
