Bro....you need to do me big favor. With all the soldering you have been doing, please bro....wear some sort of breathing apparatus. That's a lot of fumes you got going into those hairy little nostrils of yours....j/k. Do it for all of us.

Dirk....my bruda...like a famous man once said....."Blame it on the ah ah ah ah ah ah alcohol....

Nice Bro......man you been moving at a good pace on this one. I sign on every day just to see your progress....and man, you never disappoint.

Not bad....not bad but, if you really want to impress me....make it all wheel drive . Just kidding my brother. I'm leaning towards this being my favorite of all your incredible builds.... I know I know, I say this after each new build of yours lol. Seriously the subject matter and what we see so far....BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH!!!! Just love the cooling vents in front of the rear wheel well openings. I will call you later today to let you know whats been going on.

May I ask you, how do you cut your thin brass sheets. I thinking that they may tend curl when trying to cut them in certain areas and certain shapes. Thanks

You know this guy was also the driver of the famous Charger in Bullitt. He was the man in the 60's and 70's.

HOT.....HOT.....HOT, right out of the pages of Rat Rod Bikes....can't wait to see it done.

Here is a little Schwinn Stingray (repop) that I put together just for looks.

Please express my condolences to his family.

Good to hear everything is OK.....but couldnt you just cast a new one

My Dad could do anything....he was an acomplished artist and photographer. He could build anything from anything and he loved playing with cars (models, Motorific, slots, Aurora) and trains. (Lionel) What ever my Dad took an intrest in...it was all or nothing, and I was always by his side, passing him a paint brush or glue etc. My Dad was more of a replica stock sort of guy and displayed his work proudly. One day he noticed that his collection was thinning out hmmmm. Well I was busted....he found the beautiful built models he put so much love and work into capturing the essence of what a replica stock build should be but wait, whats this....mag wheels, side pipes, raised suspension, wide tires....and OMG....flames I thought my Dad was (this was the 60's now) was gonna whip my...you know what...but to my surprise my Dad said something to me I will never forget.....he said...."you little *******", then he laughed and said "have at it son"....I loved my Dad

I am so sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in my prayers.

WOW....that is one very kool...and very, very well done model my friend.

Nice job bro...very nice job

Could someone please tell me who this Gregg/Big Kahuna guy is? It seems to me that we are always making such a big fuss over this guyHappy Birthday Bruda....

Hmmmmm, sensitive drilling attachment, check your message box buddy.

That is fantastic news!!!! Best of luck in the new job.

If you are talking about this one, yes it is a Corolla 1.8. I think this is a one off creation. I dont think the ever made this model in a two door, they did however make a 4 door version, so I'm pretty sure this model was scratchbuilt. If you notice the car has sort of a flair over the front wheels but not the back.You can still find the 4 door version on ebay.

If you talking slots, there is a new place right on SR 50 (Colonial), going towards the West Oaks Mall . Just after the Turnpike there is the Pottery Barn store (it would be on your left if you are comming down from Clermont), right next to it.... there is a Slot Car place. I'm sorry I dont know the name I know of it because I buy Pro-Track rims for my plastic models there. As soon as you turn into the parking lot it is right down the center, has a big traffic light in the window. They have two round de round tracks and one drag strip. Hope this helps

Burgandy.....

Love the metal strips on the grill insert.....those little things you do just always put it over the top.....

NICEEEEEEEEE......two questions if I may.....the seat and the tranny.....could you give a little more info on these sweet, sweet looking pieces Thanks

Shuck...I've seen some of your posts and seen your work...You build a nice model pisan I really look forward to this build and the direction it is going. If you really think about it.....subject matter....I'm going old school....and you.....new school.....how cool is that

Hey Shuck.....what tires are those?

Hey Mike....the front and rear tires were given to me by my good buddy Dirk Joseph. The rears ....I'm not sure, the fronts I belive are Pegasus. Now it looks like you too have found the benefit of Pro Track rims . The black front rims I show in the pics....came with O rings, the silver ones had a wider lip which I turned down on the lathe and had the Pro Track foam tires. I removed the foam tires and then just took a little off the outside surface with the lathe to remove the glue and residue left by the foam tires. I like the route it seems that you are taking....
