JayMesawitz Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Chris, my rig is not as great as i would like. but I'll snap a couple pics anyway. I have my eye on the Tamiya paint stand (spring loaded). It looks superior to my so-so design and only runs about $18. Not as cheap as a scrap or 1 by 4 and a coat hanger but not bad either.

That does look like a good set up. Yours seems to do the job just us well. Thanks for the reply Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMesawitz Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Chris, so here is my auto body paint stand. It is two wires threaded through four holes. This prevents the out-turned prongs from spinning when under a load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMesawitz Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 This project is complete. I am very happy with the engine bay area. It came out better than my initial vision. All four wheel sit firmly on the ground so that is a plus. The body finish is a little weak. The clear coat is just not as smooth as I would want. And sadly that is a killer on contest day. I may polish the clear coat a little more to see if it will buff out but my hopes are low. Here are two shots and a slide show of the build start to finish.

Thanks for the photo diary of this build Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
