Have this car already over 22 years and now it is time to overhaul the braking and height control system.

This involves removal of the complete drive teain and rear subframes so I decided to do a complete restauration of the rear part of the car.

Rust removal and recoating all the painted surfaces and regalvenizing all bolts and nuts with nickel is a time consuming task. See below before and after rust removal.

So this fall there will be not that much time for modelling.
 
Here are a few pieces of furniture I've built. The first shows an entertainment center, clock and small Shaker table, all of cherry. Below that is a three fotted Shaker table, also cherry. Next is a Chester County Line and Berry chest of walnut, with holly inlay. The hutch is a Pennsylvania step back cabinet of cherry, and last is a tall clock of curly maple.View attachment 120806View attachment 120807View attachment 120808View attachment 120809View attachment 120810

Hello, I'm also a numismatist, so I collect coins from all over the world. I already have some from around 40 countries, that's almost 3500 coins. I'm currently in the process of selling it on Ebay. Just lying around. I also have various coins from Great Britain and the USA.
 
I collect comic books, and have a little over 13,000. I started in the early 80s but am now cleaning up my database so I can sell them. It’s been a fun run, but it’s time to move on.View attachment 400890
Once gone, I’ll convert the library into my workshop.
That is a small collection compared to some comic book collectors stash I have seen.
