What are you waiting for? Get out the One Shot and your wallets!

 

Alright!
Open the 1 shot and break out the PVC...!
We are on it.....

 

Phuckit, here we go!

 

........it's a plan!!

 

what kind of time frame are we talking? How much time do I have to lay down the best lines I can come up with? Can we do more than one?

 

bttt

 

I'm getting the sawzall and the 1-Shot out as we speak.........

 

Mike did you ask Ryan to pin this post yet?

 

Man can you imagine what this will be worth when all you pinheads are dead? It would be like the ceiling of the Cistine(SP?) chapel for hotrodders! Very cool idea.

 

Don't worry Root, My donation will keep the value within reason.

 

haha..if I DON'T contribute, the value will GO WAY UP!

 

I'll contribute and the winner can throw my shit away if they don't like it. But seriously how long do we have? Mike pm Ryan ask him to pin this.

George:Get a plexi scoring knife from a hardware store,mark the plexi and score it heavily.Then lay it on a flat surface with the score even with the edge and slam it with the heel of your hand in the center of the piece and as close to the score as possible.It should break cleanly.
An alternative is to have a hardware store cut a piece to size for you.Most hardware stores in my area that stock plexi will do this free of charge if you buy the stock from them.

.......I picked up two 6"x9" pieces today at a local hardware store for $3.00.........

 

Another way to cut is make your mark lay it on a flat piece of plywood and cut it with a jigsaw or run both simultanious through a band saw. The plywood will help to keep it from cracking and you want to be easy on pushing the jig or plaxi/wood as not to melt the plastic (new blade is good idea).

How many tickets can we buy?

 

Here is my panel it's 6X12. Can we do more than one?

 

Very nice, ck!

 

Oh, I gotta win this!

 

Whats the address to send my winning $$$$$ to.The post mans going to be busy

 

I bid $200, oh wait a minute this one of those raffles, shit....

 

Heres my contribution.

I'm new at this one-shot slinging....so....this amateur attempt is all I have.
I wish the picture was better, but my digicam is rather lacking.
You'll have to take my word for it that the colors are MUCH more vivid in real life....

Oh well, here it is.

 

VonTingler.....you are now a THREAT to my career!
I will continue to "buddy up " to you in order to keep an eye on your ideas....

No way man....

I know you are gonna blow me out of the water with whatever you post.

You don't have to worry about Von Tingler's Art Factory being much of a threat. ALL the employees (me) have been on a 3 1/2 hour coffee break this morning.....Lazy SOB's.....

VT.

 

That's okay,VT.....I was just joking....I don't really HAVE a career!
Zenor.....we are at it again...hope to have ours ready soon..

 

Just got finished doing up a couple panels for the raffle:One is a conventional(traditional?)stripe;9X12 in red and white and the other is a teardrop skull with flames same size.

It say they have to be rectangular with 6",9",or 12" sides.That way they can be arranged so that they all fit a dimension that is a multiple of 6.For instance,two 9X12 panels would equal a total area of 18X12 if fitted side by side.Or if you had two 6X9 panels they would occupy a 6X18 space and so forth.It will work.
