Last year my goal was get it on the road. This year my goal was make it not gross inside. Both goals met. Next year is rust clean up.3yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/projectcar
The seats are the last piece of project I want to do this year and the first one turned out amazing. VW fabric down the center, black vinyl back and bolsters that match the door cards. Used to be a gray interior3yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/projectcar

Took the RX-7 to the Evergreen Speedway for an autocross. They give you a tour of the figure eight, the short track, and the front straight on the main oval. My arms are tired. That manual rack is a workout when things get hectic.2yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/RX7
Doing the airplane from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, weird scale 1:77. Probably just to fit in a certain size box for a museum gift shop? Definitely helped me level up my airbrushing so far.2yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/modelmakers
I love this car, it's like a gas powered old wooden rollercoaster. There's always little things to hobby on, too. Next little thing will be to delete that broken telescoping antenna and replace it with a block off plug. Not gonna do a head unit, don't need the mast3yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/RX7
Finished up the Revell 1:77 Lao Che Air Freight Ford Tri Motor. The Lao Che marking didn't come in the box, that took a roll of masking tape. I lost the windshield and had to buy another kit to finish it. A few accidents here and there, happy with the result nevertheless.2yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/modelmakers
Rented a ND for my 40th birthday to do some social distancing the fun way. Real nice car. It wasn't really very extra, just all around great, easy, fun, slow car. If I closed my eyes with the engine off I'd think I was in my FB; fit like an old pair of jeans.4yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/mazda
[7A38-7069] took a chance on junk with a ratty 2 tone bracelet and it just needed the dials zeroed with the pushers to function properly10mo ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/Seiko
Took my dashboard out of the $200 RX7 to deep clean it and replace the carpet. The plastic cover itself is in nice shape overall, and I went at it with baby wipes until they stopped turning brown. Looks good as new now!4yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/RX7
This technique emerged while doing my last kit. The clip stick means it stays dunked and I don't have to fish it out with a tweezer. Probably sped up my decal game 100%.2yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/modelmakers

Cool, a Pontiac Reddit! Hi folks, I've had this G8 for a few months. It's been a bucket list car and I absolutely love driving it. Excuse the dumpy wheels, these are my winter ablatives.

My old 150. The 2V 4.6 Romeo left it underpowered and undercapable, but it's still my favorite truck. Regret selling it, but needed bigger. Photo from when we chased the eclipse to central Oregon in 20173yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/4x4
Hand washed and waxed this barbaric anachronism after surviving a rainy, windy, buggy, dusty, and slushy 3900-mile road tour home from where I picked it up last week. Max elevation 10,300' min elevation -190'. About 1000 miles of avoiding storms included2yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/Autos
1:24 (or 25?) Peterbilt 359 Conventional Tractor finished. Generally enjoyable build. Tried Krylon for the cab, didn't sand or polish it for a more industrial look, pretty happy with the result.3yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/ModelCars

Added some gold wheel arch flair to the farm truck. My king ranch has titanium wrap, but it's much darker than this Tamiya titanium gold. It went on so well though that I think I'm going to leave it on as is.4yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/ModelCars
I rode along in my wife's 05 Expedition the whole way through White Rim Trail in Canyonlands. It's a mall crawler by design but with some rancho struts or didn't puncture the tank. Far as trails go, it's not the gnarliest but some of those plummets from the tops of hills were pretty butt puckering!2yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/4x4
I did a lot of work on the plastics, dash, and wheel. Nice to be able to run it around the neighborhood after like 3 months torn apart. I love the feel of a wrapped wheel, and the car looks much better blacked out inside. Still a lot of work to do...4yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/RX7

Aoshima RX7 painted with Tamiya acrylic and lacquer thinner. I always seem to work the air valve at the end of my hose closed and suddenly I'm splattering, but I think I mostly salvaged this one. Good enough for the extensive race livery decal set3yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/ModelCars

Been working on this DMC-12. I give up on the wires, they will forever look kind of shitty. I hope a panel line wash will help with the cartoonyness.

Help! I got my wheels machined, polished, and powder coated. They couldn't salvage the silly decoration rim screws. Yes I know they're useless, but the wheels look dumber without them.

It's ugly but it sure is fun. WIP my dream 1st Gen build. Hardtop, lsd/discs, snarly carbureted 12A, manual steering with the ship's wheel. The build is on pause for the summer while I keep it drivable.5yr ⋅ too_much_covfefe_man ⋅ r/mazda
