nice color.

Cute little bugger. How about a little wind up key for a push bar.

What about a color for webers?

Beautiful MOPAR.

Interesting. His son Steve March Torme is a local radio DJ in my town & that's how I heard of his modeling hobby.

Mel Torme built model planes.

love those springer front ends.

This truck takes me back to when I was a little kid. For some reason, I remember our milkman's name. Warren Bushbaum. Sometimes he would come right in the house & put the milk & butter in the fridge. I think he had the hots for my mom. A much simpler time.

My uncle used to race one of these back in the day with mixed success. He called it his "butt ugly".

perty.

Very nice engine detail.

Cute little bugger.

One of my favorite cars. I've only seen one in person & was impressed with it's tiny size. Model on.

Do you remember a guy named Don Emmons who wrote regular articles with helpful tips? I wonder what ever happened to him.

I started building about 1960 when I was a little kid. As far as using thread for ignition wiring, I would run it thru bees wax to get rid of the "fuzzies". Kit bashing was a common practice. Back then, kits cost a couple bucks & I mowed all our neighbors lawns just so I could go down to Hettigers Hobby shop. He actually gave me (a 9 year old kid) a charge account. Most of my early subjects were drag racing related simply because that was all that was available. Parts packs were a big thing back then too. I remember my mom had to buy my glue because kids were huffing it to get high. I would raid my mothers vanity drawer for tools (nail clippers & files, emory boards), etc. My grand father was a doctor & I would get many tools from him. I still have a set of bone saws that I use to this day. Those were the days.

Much more appropriate answer. Thank you.

As a moderator you're supposed to set an example.

Very mature & professional.

If you're going for a stock look, the original did not have headrests.

Thanx much.

Does anyone have a source for side draft Weber carbs for a Jaguar XKE I'm working on? It's the double kit & the carbs for the XKSS are perfect for what I'm trying to do.

I live outside of Green Bay. I grew up in Milwaukee.

Beautiful coupe. Very well done.

Roadster???

Very nice.
