Fiberglass Old to new Construction Educational Series.
Strokers Ice House in Dallas, TX is known for bikes and beer and its crazy atmosphere, including mannequins of dinosaurs, astronauts along with many other figures. In this two part series be are going to repair and rebuild The Blues Brothers mannequins and a death cart, a human remains cart that's used at commercial airlines to transport a deceased body to and from the airplane.
We will use a forklift to place the human remains cart onto the roof after we add some structural supports to the roof itself.
The Blues Brothers will have to be bolted to the human remains cart by using 5/16 inch bolts and nuts along with the steel cables.
I used real human sunglasses that I trimmed and modified to fit the Blues Brothers.
We will repair the fiberglass on the mannequins and repaint everything by using oil based spray paints.
We are even going to use a pirates hook to replace a hand and a human skeleton during this project.
Definitely not your usual handyman or DIY job!
We will use steel cables and turn buckles to hold everything to the roof.
Then I will install new lighting to illuminate all of the mannequins by using low voltage lighting with remote controls and low voltage cabling and make Strokers an even more amazing place to visit.
We will also install a few electrical outlets and transformers along the way. We used the Zucked 10w Landscaping Light system supplied by Amazon.
We also used their quick connect wiring system another great handyman or DIY skill that you should learn.
Most of the tools used were Dewalt tools like the Dewalt drill and impact along with the traditional wire stripers, and electrical testers and basic building and renovation supplies like wire nuts, zip ties and basic hardware like nuts and bolts, turn buckles and steel cabling,
