My little Aussie shed

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

I also scored a few Bob big boy statue's on ebay a couple of weeks ago, i really want a big statue but i haven't found anyone that is selling them wants to send over here so next trip over i will hopefully find one and ship it back.

I came across a complete set of coca cola syrup bottles in their original box unfortunately they are empty but still i was wrapped as i am a bit of a coca cola freak.

Those tee dollys look pretty handy
Nice work (I have a few big boy dolls also) but only a couple
When are we trading spots

 

[BUGTHUG]

Those Coke jugs look to be late 60's early 70's? nice find, and in the OG box.
I have a Coke fetish 2, got tons of stuff. I try to collect the real thing and not so much repo.

I think any collector some how ends up with a bit of coca cola in the collections Herb, it just seems to find it's way in.

You have been busy whilst the computer gave you issues.

Brand new computer now so hopefully it won't cause me any problems for a year or so. trying to buy stuff via the phone was a bit of hit and miss.

After i finish the buick and i am doing a 6" chop on a Model t 5 window coupe at the moment for another guy and floor pans for a Monaro for another guy, Also have 2 charger's coming in for bare metal resprays and a 70 cuda as well for panel and paint after the conversion from left to right. So it is a little way down the track.

I built a 9 bay shed out the back just to clear the main shed up a while ago and the other weekend we built a lean to off the back of the main shed and that got rid of another 6 cars so it will be pretty roomy in there once the 2 car trailer's get finished which should be sometime next week.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

So here are a couple more items that i have picked up over the last month or so. Getting down to the bottom of the pile.

My wife said when i bought this sign home that i give her the headache everytime i come home with something.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

Finally got my Socal sign and i only have to get a Roy Brizio sign and i will be happy.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

Came across this great little workshop trolley at a swapmeet, the guy bought it in from America when he was bringing a car back.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

Also my little Mcdonalds ride to go with my new sign.

And that's about all of it, there is a couple of other items but nothing weird and wonderful like the rest. I better get back to this chop so i can spend it on more treasures.

I couldn't find anything written but there is a picture on page 13 that gives a clue

I still have no idea.

I saw the VW Kombi ute on the first page, and I want it I was hoping you might have done some work on it

They looks awesome when restored!

 

[1/2 Cup]

A Maccas sign, nice one and unbelievable Lee. Will we see a drive through in the near future??

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

I think he just put your name at the start as he thought this was your thread by accident i think.

That looks very nice but the one i have will be a kept ratty looking, just have all the rust repairs done and nice running gear.

Well i have the ronald statue so i am almost setup. It should be fun to hang up with only a forklift.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

So latley i have been working on a 6" chop on a model T for a guy, i have done a bit of work on his model A and a couple of other vehicles he has. He already cut 6" out of the rear sections so i just had to trim any of the lines that where out a little, we oxy welded it and dressed it up. The next stage is cutting the back section he wants it with only a 4" chop out of the rear window with the 6" chop of the the outer frame.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

A bit of a slice taken out of the lower section and slightly open up the upper section.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

All looks straight so it can be fully welded and planished.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

All welded up and dressed.

 

[Idle Serge]

Nice B)

Great job Lee

Also my little Mcdonalds ride to go with my new sign.

And that's about all of it, there is a couple of other items but nothing weird and wonderful like the rest. I better get back to this chop so i can spend it on more treasures.

WOW,

Nice find on the McDonalds stuff, you got to have a big space for a sign like that.

On another note I am in SoCal and have seen full size Bob's Big Boy statues for sale, they are out there but they are a little pricey.

 

[metalhead140]

Nice metalwork!

Hi GJ people,
I recently had a mate went over to Pomona and Longbeech swaps and sent me a pic of another Mcdonalds sign so i told him to grab it, it arrived on Thursday and i was down the coast for the annual Coolies rocks on festival so i picked it up.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

He also had a big Bud light helmet that i couldn't leave behind

Also while down at the event i went to a local swapmeet for a browse and only to find a sign that is very hard to find and will stay in my shed for a long time, in 2003 Boyd Coddington sold his wheels over here using another company as a dealership so he had a sign made up and it was a copy of his original one on his shop and when they closed the sign vanished only to appear on the weekend.

It's almost 3000mm long

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

also found on a local classified site another fan to put in the shed (they seem to be multiplying) and also an old battery charger that weighs to much.

The name of the fan had me.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

I also had a mate help me make my first Tiki, he cut one side and i cut the other using a chainsaw and then i dressed it up with a flap disc on the grinder and then burnt it up with the oxy and a bit of paint for colour, i am now in the process of doing one by myself but i don't think it will look as good as this one so it might just be firewood.

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

The girls decided to get dressed up for the festival, on the left is my 13 year old daughter and 2nd in from the right is my wife, only the second time i have seen her put on any makeup, far right is my niece and 2nd in from the left is my brothers partner, the good looking one is holding the camera

Thanks for the update Lee.

The Coddington sign, one huge

All round some nice scores and family pic.

Take care with the charger if you are intending using it, the one i has that was a similar vintage was loaded with asbestos.

Cheers

PS

How's the T coupe going???

Thanks for the kind words, as for the T coupe i haven't had a chance to get back on it as i have had to do a couple of other jobs for guys and it has been pushed backed a little, hopefully back on it by the end of the month.

Damn Lee, your becoming the Don Long of down under The Boyd C sign is top notch, and something you won't see many of.
Pictures of the family are nice to see, you have a beautiful wife and daughter. You are very talented, and blessed, and have lots of cool stuff.
Put some blood shot eyes on the tiki guy, he looks like a party guy. The one on the bottom is probley how he feels the next morning
So are you doing all the building on the chopped T? looks like its portioned properly. Have a good day mate
