Butter 1 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Very impressive. Right down to the very realistic aluminum weld beads on the valve covers and headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo2me Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Fantastic! I only built one 1/8th model in my life and that was Monogram's E-Type in the mid-60s. Sadly, now I don't have the workspace, display area, or the brain power to take on a challenge like this. But I am really enjoying following your amazing work. Thanks!

GoatGuy Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Dave, so great to see your latest posts on this car. FANTASTIC. I remember seeing your cars in person at a show near Pottstown. It might have been 2013? Very inspiring. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codi Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Goodness gracious Dave.........the frame is beautiful in paint & I love the color you picked. It sets off all the beautiful pieces you've fabricated. You're excited now I can see and moving VERY rapidly. So worth it to see you pull this project forward and complete it, you've got to be stoked. Cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoncamaro Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Wow Dave ! That looks like it’s not far away from hitting the track ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Such a beautiful build Dave, it would have been sad not to finish it (at least move the project forward), quality takes time, the results so far are spectacular !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp1839 Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 thanks Tim!!! you always motivate me. thanks Steve. thanks Jason, every once in a while it's not long before it hits the floor!!!! hehehe thanks Francis. there was so much time and effort in it already i knew i had to finish it. i guess i'll just have to wait and build a super killer 1/8 scale version of my '37 now. spent the better part of the day making decals, nitrous valves, gauges, and tie rods. got the sparky plugs wired too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp1839 Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 i came upon some pics of the rear housing i made for this one. i turned some spindles out of brass(i was going to make the rear work but later canned the ideaa) cut some axle tubes, cut the individual plates and the soldered her all up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp1839 Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 i just thought i'd let you guys know i'll be putting this on the back burner again. hopefully not for 10 more years. my '37 needs a motor transplant so that will be taking my time for awhile. thanks for all the nice words and i'll be back as soon as i can.
