Scratch build
Peteff - 23/1/06 at 11:16 AM

As I am building my car from "scratch" I would like to know if anyone has a cheap source of the material. I've been to the butcher's and seen "scratchings" which I presume to be the residue from the production of scratch, but he will not confirm this. When I asked if this was the case he actually told me to p!ss off if I wasn't going to buy anything as he had a queue of customers wanting meat. I also went to the newsagent where they have scratch cards. I wondered if you have to buy these to get your entitlement of scratch, so I asked how much scratch one card would get you, but the woman told me to p!ss off as she had a shopfull of people wanting to buy magazines. I may have to give up on this idea and go back to the original plan and build it from wood. Has anyone got a stick welder I can buy or borrow?

Ive got a Mig welder. Borrowed it off my Dad. Dont know why he has it really, he doesnt even own a MIG!
Might have a chicken in the freezer if you want a wishbone.

To do a scratch build you have to get your parts from a flea market...

Sorry, that's a lousy joke...

I thought scratch built meant standing there loking at the plans scratching your head wondering where the hell you start! [img][/img]
