In Hot Pursuit

[Lanlubber In Remembrance]

I’m not going out of my way to get them, just incidental to my adventures.

I dont want them either but I'm not going to let it stop me from going where I wanna go. I'm sure you feel the same.

Thecopcar got some deer armor today. It might also be a good spot for other stuff.

 

[Sparksalot]

fabbed a lightweight sheet metal piece to go behind the splash guard. Not for rock, just pokey things.

 

[Sparksalot]

Took my new rig to poserville.

 

[Sparksalot]

Thecopcar is getting a roof rack. To carry my kayak or who knows.

 

[Sparksalot]

And it’s done. A cop car with a rack.

Looks great.

Kool planes my grand father built Large Scale R/C planes my entire life. I was the only one in family to not do it I was more interested in R/C cars but never had one in my childhood.

The rack looks very functional good upgrade.

Better angles on them. I built the biplane about 30 years ago. It has the wings and fuselages for a pair of rubber powered models sitting on it.

the blue and yellow plane is even older, built by my father in law. He passed unfortunately before I met my wife. That’s a 1/12 scale Messerschmitt sitting on it.

biplane looks like has a similar engine to my old .19 grandpa gave me to attempt a R/C hydroplane boat build from scratch.

It's a Great Planes Sportster Bipe 40, with a Super Tiger 45 ABC. They quit producing them a couple of years after I built it. Ten years later I showed a picture of something to a friend, the bipe was visible. Her hubby asked is that a... Yes it is. Do you still have the plans? Yes I did. I made a copy and sent them over. A year later, the gent had a fine example built from scratch.

Today was time for new front hubs. Start to finish in 2 hours for both, including putting tools away.

it goes quicker with experience. I had to do the same thing on theothertwin a few months ago.

My grandfather soloed in a Curtis-Jenny when Oakland airport was a dirt strip. I fly Boeing 777-300’s around the globe. Personally though, I like American muscle cars and overlanding trucks!

 

[Sparksalot]

Been doing stuff to thecopcar for weeks. None of it involving a rooftop tent or skottle so no pics to upset the post police.

 

[Sparksalot]

Did a platform to capture some storage volume. Overland Hound seal of approval. I’m not sure how I’ll finish it yet, carpet or paint.

 

[Sparksalot]

Prepping for a longer trip this summer with a few layover days off grid. So, a new 100 watt panel. My teardrop already had a charge controller, so I bought a second one for thecopcar. Connections were configured to allow the panel to go to either one. Now where to store the panel, especially if I’m out without the teardrop. So a trapeze was born to use some empty volume.

 

[Sparksalot]

i finally stripped ET from his iron suit.

 

[Sparksalot]

Then i noticed the pushbar seemed a little bare. So I added some ET chase lights.
