sti pretender Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Ok, been looking at ways of improving the stand for this years shows and been looking at display stand for the car details, prices seem to start at £45 so if we had 20 cars thats £900. Had a go at making one. Bit rough around the edges and could do with being 800mm high instead of a metre but total cost around £17.

Looks good, but I would suggest a lower height, maybe so the stem is flush with the bonnet height so the display part is half above the bonnet height and half below!
dipsy Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Would a thing for reading music stand not work aswell and if you went round some of the auction's you would probably pick them up for a pound each if your lucky Edited March 2, 2010 by Dipsy
badbaz Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Looking good Robert, you could possibly add a little dispenser tray for holding SIDC flyers so those who are interested may just make the effort and pick one up! Well done.

Well done. Yes, it's just and A4 plastic holder and you can get the same on for leaflets.

gus the bus Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 excellent work Robert! It would be good to have 15 or so of these for the various shows
jamesm Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Looks really good. Well done Personally, I think taking the height down to no higher than the wing mirror would give you something spot on.
G-Mac 181 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I've got one similar i'll get some pics up of it.
Big Gordon Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Looks good Robert, you did mention at the last Central meet that you'd have a go at making something. It's only taken you a month then Kidding mate, like it, great first effort.
