    Thank you all for the comments and likes, it may have taken me forty years to call it done...now it's time to work on some other forty year old projects. ? Taken in the mid 80's next to my other forty year old refurb in progress.

    look above a few messages to Matt Bacon's response.

    Well, there is the Desert Scale Classic in Arizona (closer than Utah..) that turns twenty next year, everyone is invited to help us get started on another twenty years (did Danno just faint?).

    amazon sells them under a different manufacturer, the ones in the photo were borrowed from work. doing a google search for "Weidmuller ferrules" will yield several sources and manufacturers.

    it looked great in person! One observation voiced by more than one builder at this event, with so much talent on display...no one envied the job the judges had to do (it was rumored that it took eleven hours for the judging to be complete).

    as a fan of phantom pickups, I really like how this turned out, bravo!

    yeah, it's pretty special when an "empowered person" plays the "help me Obiwan" card.

    that's a really interesting way to say "drama queen" ?

    FYI, Will from Kindigit Design was at the GSL for a while... I shook his hand but didn't bother with a selfie.

    nice replica, Iron Resurrection is one of the few car shows I enjoy.

    using ferrules as a detailing element, here is a photo of Weidmuller ferrules used where I work, this would be 14mm in length and about 16gage (ferrules can be ordered in various wire sizes, lengths and other manufacturers). The upper one has had the plastic collar removed, it can be carefully cut off or heated up and pulled off. The ferrules are plated copper, so can be formed/deformed easily. ferrules were used on the exhaust and carbs.

    I used a similar material to make hard brake line detail.

    Here are the pix I took at the show, it was great to catch up with old friends and "hang out with my people". Here is a link to my Flickr album for this show:

    I can almost hear it run, thank you for sharing the journey and the assembled masterpiece. I am inspired by your work and attention to detail.

    I had one of my builds show up in one of the model magazines that covered one of the GSL's a few years ago, they got my name correct but the accompanying text was nothing like what I had written on the "photo card"...a little disappointing but I got bragging rights. ?

    received an email that the host hotel is full and the standby list is stupid long, Mark is trying to scrounge up deals with other local lodging

    Discord is a great (free) option for remoting in to meetings, similar to zoom, just easier.
