Scratch-Built Car Stand w/Pinion Caddy

I wanted to make a car stand for my RC10 to use at the local track, and wanted to share what I came up with. I used a piece of scrap aluminum channel from work, drilled it with a hole saw, and tapped the holes for the 4-40 screws. I powdercoated it hot pink with a sparkle clear and added some foam and decals. The pinion caddy was a last-minute decision, but worked out great. It's not precision-engineered, but not bad for using only hand tools. :D

Looks pretty sweet. Classic late 80s color choice too. And it holds 3 beers! :mrgreen:

Ok, so Dave gets to keep his man card, but only if those three beers are high octane barley wines that would put hair on the chest of even the wimpiest taster!! :wink: :mrgreen: :lol:
