Just to clarify Harold Bradford is the owner of HRM and he produces nearly all of his own products. Only recent have I been fortunate enough to contribute a select few masters (Porsche 914-6GT and the Cobra Dragonsnake) which HRM has chosen to add to the catalog. Harold is the genius behind this company and the products we have all enjoyed over the years.

Good job Mitch.

Looks good Ray. Going with a Gulf team color theme?

I like the matte finish on the trim and bumpers, did you paint it?

Very nice Alan.

Esci never did an XR3 to the best of my knowledge. They did the RS1800 (MkII) in several different versions.

Great album, I have it on 10" vinyl. I really like Volume 4 too. A few of my favorites from this album.

Interested is seeing what you can do with this Brizio.

Ray, found out why the car is shown with right hand drive. CSX3303, the Cosby car, was crashed by a subsequent owner. He was killed when the car left the highway and tumbled down a cliff. A gentleman from England bought the mangled remains and had them exported back to England. The car was re-built using a new chassis and body. During the rebuild it was converted to RHD. Interestingly the rebuilt car ran 48 IDA Webbers in lieu of the original twin Paxton superchargers. Therefore the large hood bulge would not have been necessary. In addition the rebuilt car was painted deep maroon with dark red interior.

Glad to see you on this forum Paolo. JC

The Polo looks good too Adriano.

Nena -99 Red Luftballons I prefer the german version. English version.

I really like Camper Van Beethoven's cover of this song. CVB went on to become Cracker.

Great choice Tom, one of my favorites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cXrEPNvRO8

Peter Gabriel - Security I think I own every album released by PG and its hard to pick a favorite but this one might be it. If all you know of PG is his Sledgehammer era you are missing out on his best stuff. If you like drums and percussions as much as I do you will love this album. Play it loud this song rocks.

Irsay surely isn't hurting! Nothing like having an extra $3M lying around to buy decorations for your man cave.

Ringo Starr's personal copy of the Beatles' The White Album, numbered No.0000001, sold for a world record $790,000 Saturday at the Julien's Live auction of instruments and items from Starr and wife Barbara Bach's estate. Starr's White Album carried a pre-auction estimate of $40,000 to $60,000, a number that was easily shattered during bidding. Ringo Starr Talks White Album Auction » "We used to play the vinyl in those days," Starr previously told Rolling Stone of his copy of the band's classic 1968 LP. "We didn't think, 'We'll keep it for 50 years and it will be in pristine condition.' Whoever gets it, it will have my fingerprints on it." The copies of The White Album were numbered in sequence, ensuring that whoever purchased Starr's copy would have the first printing produced of the album. Starr's 1963 Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl three-piece drum kit, used in the recording of "Can't Buy Me Love," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You" and other classics from that era, sold for $2.2 million Friday. The kit was used by Starr in more than 200 performances between May of 1963 and February of 1964 and later employed by Paul McCartney during the recording of his 1970 solo album McCartney. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay purchased the drum kit, which hadn't been seen in public for over 50 years. The Colts owner and rock memorabilia enthusiasts previously purchased high-profile instruments like Bob Dylan's 1965 Newport Folk Festival guitar, John Lennon's 1966 "Paperback Writer" Gretsch guitar and Les Paul's "Black Beauty." Other Starr instruments sold at auction include a drum kit from the "Hello Goodbye" video ($112,000), a Rickenbacker guitar gifted to the drummer from Lennon ($910,000, also purchased by Irsay) and a Starr-owned Hofner bass ($22,500). Starr's A Hard Day's Night suit was also sold for $50,000. Another item that generated a lot of interest on the auction block was a 1971 18-karat yellow gold "Moonphase" Patek Philippe wristwatch. The watch – which sold for $179,000, nearly double its $80,000 estimate – was one of the few items on the block that didn't need the benefit of Starr's ownership to increase its value: As Bloomberg reported, Starr's Patek Philippe wristwatch was incredibly rare, one of only 586 made, attracting watch enthusiasts more so than Beatles fanatics. When the same model Patek Philippe was auctioned in November 2012, it drew a closing bid of $136,000.

I knocked off the tops of the pins on my body leaving just a bit there to locate where to drill. After drilling them all out I sanded what was left flush to the body. That's the issue finding something in scale.

Turned out great Jim.

Nice! Thanks for posting this.

You know waaay more about hot rods than I do Bernard, but I never cared for the look with the rear tire above the body line. On a turtle deck okay but not a '29. Looks like you aren't going quite as low as your original concept.

Nice Pat. I built this car a few years back myself. The decals are intimidating but they work just fine.

Thanks Ray. I typically just leave the holes. It gives the impression that something is there. That 's what I did on my CSX2026 build.

Same here, glad to see it back on the bench.
