It's the 500 Cobalt Puller (mid-sized one) from Holmes. Funny thing is, it says 480 on a sticker on the side of it.

Sounds like me.... Every time I put something down, I spent 10 minutes looking for it.

Yeah Chris, my shop is a HUGE disaster right now. I did find the fender on the floor by the garbage.

Nothing too exciting today, I've been building little time consuming things.

Got the air bumps brazed on the rear, the fronts go on tomorrow.



I've been trying to figure out what to do for the front window and frame. I started building it out of styrene, but I quickly realized that I'm a metal worker :-(. So this is what I came up with. The frame is 20 ga. steel, and the lexan window will be sandwiched between the frame and the roll cage, The frame screws on with four 2-56 stainless button head screws. I may want to fill in the gaps between the window frame the hood corners and the doors with some sheet....not sure yet. I'll also get some small hinges and braze them to the bottom of the window frame and screw them to the hood so I can open and close it.





That's all for now. Hopefully there will be more tomorrow.

There is nothing wrong with that Fantastic work as always Tim. The 2.2 scale comp guys better watch out for this one. I am eager to hear how well it performs.
