Re: Hobbs Reefer From a Tamiya Semi Trailer

Re: Hello from Illinois

Hi Bill. The Globe looks good and holds a lot of potential. You'll learn a lot by hanging around here and getting your hands dirty.

Re: King Hauler - Yet another W900

Re: King Hauler - Yet another W900

Re: King Hauler - Yet another W900

Finally got to a point where I could get more paint work done. I went back to primer to get rid of some horrid spider webbing. I was hoping that it would look good from 10ft. but it actually looks...

Re: Hardware questions..

Yes! Especially nuts and common lengths such as 6mm and 12mm. My son and I go through about $100 in fasteners per year. I know this because that's my average annual order.
