It will accelerate tyre wear when I come over in the Cobra and hang a patch on your driveway too Mike.

Yeah yeah, you know you want some rubber laid on that concrete Mike.

I will get some mates to "pop" over.
Peg leg skids on Mikes new burnout pad. Purple Valiants as far as the eye can see. This guy can go first. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps609fc396.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps52d66031.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...psb247319b.png |
It's kind of set up like the summernats. A burnout strip with a donut pad at the end.
|
If that wasn't a Valiant Dave it would be awesome.

I saw your "garage" on Garage Journal Forum last week...seems to have impressed the yanks.
|
I've been checking out that forum for years, just reading, not posting. Lots of great ideas on there.Well worth signing up and having a good read.
A couple of months back I thought I'd throw a few pic of the shed on there since the way we build down here is quite different from the US. We don't have the same extremes of climate i.e freezing snow in winter hot in summer. We just have cold and wet in winter and fricken hot in summer. Cheers |

Some people will do anything to get attention eh ! It looks fully sick mate ! LOL Rog |
Looks like an 11 second driveway to me.
|
All ready for the drag racing.
http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/...psfaa844c1.jpg It's all sealed and they did the saw cuts yesterday. We can put the cars back in the garage now. We just need a good rain downpour to wash away the dust from the concrete saw. Might have to get the RC car out on the weekend and cut some laps. |
It's gonna look awesome on Google Earth !
Great job.... I have Shed / Driveway / acreage / house .....envy, Cheers, Warren |
The braking area at the end of the 400m looks challenging, could you leave a door open? :LOL:
|
Top stuff Mike.
Looks awesome. Ben |
bloomin awesome that is Mike
your "shed" covers more space than our entire house - including front/rear gardens - LOL excellent stuff Gary |
A bit of a shed update. I started building a heavy duty steel fabrication table a while back. With all the distractions I seem to fall victim to it's been sitting gathering dust. I got stuck into it over the last week and it's getting close to finished.
It measures 8'x4' and will have a 10mm steel top on it eventually. I've set it up so it's got sockets at various points around the table so you can plug tools and fixtures in rather than having them permanently fixed in place. Things like the vice or a tube notching tool can be plugged in and used and then put away when not in use. This should give a lot of flexability for doing different jobs. I've got all the cross members welded in now and the sockets done at one end of the table. Just got to finish off the sockets at the other end of the table and weld the top on. http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4e49a59e.jpg http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/...psaa0c1bba.jpg http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3d3ca499.jpg Cheers |
Now that's a table! Nice work.
|
Looks a bit light Mike.

Should we be worried that you are starting to build the next Killdozer?!?!? |
LOL!
I wanted something that was heavy and rigid enough that I can jig and weld things up with some decent accuracy without it moving around. I like the idea of designing and building my own chassis or a dragster frame eventually. Cheers |
