Evenin' everybody...been lurking here for better than a month or so, reading about how this hobby has changed since I last built a model (alittle over 30 yrs!)...what a difference in the detailing supplies that are available! (I haven't built a model since thread, stretched sprue, fishing line, and telephone cable wires/strands were the extent of detailing supplies)...I can't wait to finish collecting the needed supplies to begin my planned project, a 1/25 rendering of the 72 Nova street car that I "crew chief" on, affectionately known as "the Turd"...capable of high 9.60s - low 9.70s last season, it's currently at the chassis shop, getting the necessary safety upgrades for the mid to low 8-second 1/4 mile passes we're aiming for this season...my buddy that owns it has no idea that I'm doing this...

Tim, as a new member to the forum, I have to put forth my admiration for the skills and techniques revealed in the build of your Bantam. I am "returning to the fold" after a 30+ year building hiatus, and am absolutely flabbergasted by the jewel-like finery of your scratch-built components. I can only aspire to achieve the skills you've displayed with this build...one day, I may actually find the wherewithall to obtain a lathe and mill machine (AND the skills) to produce builds on this level...thank you for sharing your baby with us!!!
