yellowdatsun Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 If they're like Walmart, when stuff arrives on the truck it goes straight onto the shelf. There is no "back storage" for them to hold items until the floor stock runs out. Quote Link to comment
OkieRA29 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Well then, I guess I will have to start the ebay thing for the 510 goon :sneaky: In my searching today, I did rack up 3 2000gt mainlines. I am thinking that they are rarer than the 70 celica. Out of 5 Wal-marts and a Toy R us, I only found the 3. Yes, I bought all three, plus some others. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I am still looking for my 2000GT mainline, I bit the bullet on the Treasure Hunt version and payed about $12.00 for it. I did score a few Star Trek Enterprises today as well as a few Kool Kombi's in orange. That wagon is not mine, it was a custom by some unknown. 1 Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Havent found the Jaguar, Toyota, or the enterprise, but I found a few black R-34's..... Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I went to Real, a supermarket here in Germany and found this one. I need to continue my search around here. Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ratwagons been out of action the last two weeks. The cut was deeper than I thought. Now I have some minor flexibility back in the finger I've started back on the Manga 510. Not a great deal to see, but, some progress below. Hope to have the flares and rear spoiler ready to JBweld onto the 510 shell tonite. Quote Link to comment

Ratwagon1600 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Careful mixing the turkey and the knife, them turkeys can come back to bite you. Ha ha, don't know how that photo got in there! It's Jack Daniels today. In moderation, of course :) Rear wing ready to JBweld on, just about to start cutting the flares out with the Dremel. Once that's done, well, drinks time :) Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Enougth for tonite. Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Rear spoiler is fitted and I've started to cut up the Manga shell to transfer the flares to the 510 one. Finally found 1 Red Manga today Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Looking good on the progress ratwagon Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks mate. Hope it comes up as good as what I have pictured in my head. Kind of felt guilty cutting up a shell, at least it's only a Hotwheels one and not a full size one (or a 510) Now that would be a tragedy :) Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Enougth for tonite. Don't look like you have put to big of dent in that bottle :) Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Don't look like you have put to big of dent in that bottle :) Hmmmm, 345 ml (roughly 12oz 5.6% alcohol beer bottle). Roughly ten of those downed last night plus a considerable amount of Jack Daniels. No wonder my mouth was a bit dry this morning :) Just about ready to JB weld the back flares on the 510 shell. Life's good! 1 Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Shit man, lay off the hootch so you can concentrate on the more important things in life, like these damn cool little cars... Stay focused. :poke: :poke: Cant wait to see this little guy done. Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hell! A gazillion projects, work, family, beer :) , and Datsuns. Poor excuse, and not much done, but, front flare on. Got to say, the bead blaster cleans up a multitude of sins and poor workmanship with these things. Quote Link to comment

graveltrapp Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Nice work, what/how are you attatching the flairs and other body parts? Epoxy and Jim Beam? Looking good. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, it's a bloody fiddly job. Using JB Weld to attach the flares and am also using a two part epoxy we call "Araldite" (as well as a combination of Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Wild Turkey depending on what's available).

Ratwagon1600 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Flares are on. Bit of JB weld in the gaps and first coat of paint tomorrow. Time to start grafting the 510 interior to the Manga chassis. Quote Link to comment
The Taterhead Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 New Flying Customs Line Kenmeri coming soon Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 It's not the best photo. Grabbed a couple random spraycans and did a Fluro orange undercoat, followed by a gloss red 2nd coat, intermixed with Matt black and a final gloss red top coat. Looks better in real life. 2 Quote Link to comment
