hobbybobby Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Before I could say anything, I first had to lift up my jaw from the floor... But, even now, I get no matching words, this is so incredible! Randy my friend, I've never seen anyone applying such attention to detail and no one who performs it so well, hat off!

Pete J. Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Randy, I need to go lie down for a little while. Those tanks and the exhausts are just stunning! I wish I had half of your imagination and 10% of your talent and experience. Just trying to imagine how you came up with this gives me a headache. This is just killer!

DynoMight Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Wow. Wow. Wow. Just read through the whole thread. It is truly remarkable.
