Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside BILLYBOB

Just to add to the block work entries.....

Robbie is what Nicola called him.

But his name is actually Zibbi, no idea why.

Been tossing this idea around in my head since making the Celtic Cross.

Today, after helping a mate move some gym equipment (two trips) I came home, and got going with it as Nicola was out shopping.

First up, I drew up a rough robot to get placement and size on the block.



Started by cutting away the excess.



Hand held blade works a treat to get into tight spots.





Arms made thinner.



About four hours later my wife thinks I am a hero.



And in my opinion ...... enough of a reason to spend more than 4 hours in the garage sucking dust.



Ohhhh, and she still does not have the Celtic Cross.
