mini tug boat part one

I started building this about two months ago I picked the hull up for twenty dollars with a deck that wouldn't fit so the deck was turned into a garden bed .I screwed the deck down with bronze screws and when it was finished it rained and the bronze screws rusted and all had to be removed and plugged with dowel there was a thousand of them the morel of this story is buy bronze screws not steel ones

This is an older version of the following car taken on Ameroo park raceway in the west of Sydney,the car survives and the track doesn't.

I made this car out of sheet metal. It was beaten out of flat sheet it took about twelve months to make at Wollongong tafe college.It ran in the shell mileage marathon at Ameroo park race way in Sydney's outer west.Won the transmission award with a hydraulic drive.It also entered the Energy Challenge and got first place in the experimental section beating some large corporations in its wake :) if I can find more photos I will display them see later post.Cheers Stewart
