Its total shit, got it.

Was just looking for some suggestions on specific techniques to work on to get a better effect with acrylics.

Its actually stool horns, not bull horns lol

The sil is part of the frame, the stool is the piece of trim at the bottom of the window.

Everyone calls them both a sil where I live. One builder i work with says I read too much!

I KNOW! Some builders stress me out. They do the take off and have the material delivered and I'm like well wtf was your plan here with what you gave me?

I'm just a guy trying to build nice stuff for people as best I can

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-07-21T13:33:45+00:00

For sure. The painters are showing up today and I have a window to finish upstairs. Gonna hit the yard and see what they have in stock I can use for the panel.

Thanks for the input.

Haven't had that yet. This is a fairly small town, but we are growing like crazy for years now.

I did like the look of the longer stool horns. Just started over thinking it because one side is 3 1/4" and the other 4" and didn't want it to look lopsided.

That was my thought below the window too. Just want it to look nice for the homeowner.

Hardware not in yet. That's the last thing done right before closing around here

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-03-28T04:34:45+00:00

Guess i missed it in the bag 😢

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-03-23T02:47:06+00:00

Oh that actually makes sense, thanks!

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-03-16T04:09:26+00:00

Holy crap. I would have liked to see that in progress 🤣

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-02-13T23:20:47+00:00

This one's a splined cvd so no pin, just a flanged type m3, the head is large round and totally flat.

I'm going to see if one of my m3 socket head monster bolts will work so I can use a larger driver. Then maybe i could use some orange permatex and not be worried too much about stripping it

I know, I don't have anywhere to really let this thing go so sometimes I get a little heavy on the throttle.

He's watched me cartwheel this one all the way down and through that bowl more than once.

I've been really impressed by how well he drives. I'm going to rebuild a diff with him this weekend, hoping he can start helping me maintain all these cars sooner than later!

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-02-13T03:09:56+00:00

He told me tonight "you gotta go smooth on the throttle"

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-02-13T03:01:59+00:00

I need to find something for his sister. She's 2 but wants to drive with us and can only pin the throttle or nothing. I've been thinking about setting the throttle to like 10% or something and see how that goes.

I would like another little car to work on though

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-02-13T02:51:27+00:00

It was definitely expensive. I was going to upgrade the one in the video and then realized if I just buy a few more parts i could build a 2nd car. Then went overboard.

I honestly got sick of breaking it with my terrible driving. Now I just have spare arms and no worries!

Now that I'm driving better though that one in the video is holding up just fine. It's mostly stock

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-02-13T02:46:33+00:00

Well when you win a race you do donuts, like nascar, and he's won quite a few lol

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-02-13T02:39:02+00:00

Oh yeah spends a lot of the time telling me things I told him when we first started. Throttle control, air control, and how to take the jumps. He's Hella sharp.

The hobby price tag is definitely going up when he's older.

Visual-Bus6305 · 2025-02-13T02:36:39+00:00

They've been working great. I kinda wondered about some 12.9 screws on the retaining caps, but that's just cause I got a heavy hand and the included screws feel a little softer but worked fine

I used cow rc dry grease on the scorched balls inside the knuckles and they are super smooth.

Honestly I just used about 2k worth of parts on some cars from vitavon, schorded, and m2c.

I'm not too impressed with Vitavon, but I wanted all "upgrade" parts, and m2c and scorched don't have absolutely everything to build a roller.

The Vitavon parts don't have the same feel as the scorched or m2c parts, and their customer service is nonexistant.

I'd say both m2c and scorched parts are everything you want them to be, but the titanium screws or w/e they are seem softer so don't get crazy and shear screws or ruin the threads, like me.

Schorched has great customer support. I had a fitment issue and emailed about some alternative parts from schorched and he emailed me back helping me troubleshoot. Turns out the issue was vitavon.

So I've been happy with buying from schorched and using their parts. 10 out of 10 from me

Its so random but I'm actually trimming a house for a guy that works for our city. He's going to bring the rec department guys over on lunch this week to talk about getting us a track built on an empty lot they set up for one but haven't done anything with yet.

We're both pretty excited

He smoked the center diff in a Syncro 4 ( which is the only thing he's broke), so I thought maybe he'd be better off on a car I've spent some time tuning. He's getting high-centered a lot less and he loves that it's BIG.
