Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 While I do believe reading is a good thing and if it's not that I hope everything is ok. Could you please talk him into possibly doing a little less reading . Cause I just can't wait for another update on this project. It's unbelievable. I love it!! I have an extra pair of shorts ready just for the occassion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoSpud Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Randy would you be at all disturbed if I said I was nursing a semi right now? This is the most gorgeous and detailed rat rod I have ever seen! I was thinking, wow working steering that's just amazing, but then i saw the fuel line plubing and the vaccuum advance on the distributor and I lost it! Well done mate, this level of detail is even more than you would expect from the Franklin Mint collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Mere words cannot begin to express the realism shown on this amazing build. Every post and the bar goes up five notches. I'm on my second five gallon bucket of drool and you've not gotten to the body or truck bed yet. I'm gonna need more buckets. Lots more buckets.

Erik Smith Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Randy - thanks for the posts on the firewall construction. I have been staring at the whole post again. I like to see lots of common, household items being used to produce such great results. It's inspirational. I really like the look of the copper on the interior floor pan. Thanks a million for photographing and posting as you go! Oh, great photo quality too. Edited April 16, 2011 by Coyotehybrids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Oh man! This build just keeps getting more and more awesome! There are so many cool details to look at, it's hard to believe that this is 1/24th scale! I would love to see this in person someday! Keep up the good work!

Tumbler75 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 This is simply amazing! I love the attn to detail that is being put into this! So when is the first initial firing of the engine??

LAone Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 this is too cool. will be waiting patiently for more updates. reality tends to slow things down, i feel you randy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It will be a shame to cover all of this up with a body. Hopefully the doors and hood will be openable. Can't wait to see more especially the truck bed, whatever you have in mind I'm sure it will be stellar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Hi Randy, Thank You!! Incredible work! I thought the same thing of the seat when I saw it in the mag, thats gonna look great, actually they already do I love the treads to, I never would of thought of something like that. The way you trimmed them out and all is really stunning. The more I look at it the more I find. It's something else man. Edited April 19, 2011 by Ron a.k.a.

pharr7226 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Randy would you be at all disturbed if I said I was nursing a semi right now? My stomach hurts from laughing so hard. That may be the funniest thing I've seen on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
