  1. And when you think all it was supposed to be is a background scene for photos. Dios are extremely dangerous.
  2. Bill, all of the above and then some. I absolutely love it.
  3. A bit of a mockup. It ended up about 1.5 times as big as the one I had measured. I have lost the measurements and eyeballed it.
  4. It was an Illini cab, I got it from AITM after they bought Illini.
  5. Worked on the magneto.
  6. Built in the hole by adding concentric pieces of tubing until the desired diameter was achieved. Since I didn't have the first diameter tubing I had to turn another one down on the lathe. That was fun. Then added a Wire to fill in the taper on the outer rim and added a flat piece to finish it.
  7. Neat Alan, thanks for sharing.
  8. Thanks guys, glad you like it.
  9. Worked at detailing the cylinder head. Sometimes rocker arms are born of suspension parts.
  10. Added some 1/2 round strips to round off the flywheel spokes. Changed to renshape from the maple as it was too hard.
  11. Top fight crafstmanship Monsieur LaFlamme.
  12. Good morning Mr.Ambrose. I see the Diorama section has been split in two workbench-underglass forums. Am I correct to assume that mine which has been an ongoing ever evolving thing should stay in the workbench area?
  13. The thread spool will supply the flywheels, a baby's crib post will donate the water tank, a dragster gas tank will turn into the cylinder head (pun intended) and the watch & clock parts bin will donate some gears.
  14. Thanks Phil. I find that half the fun.
  15. I have no idea. However I had read about Ford having his own forest. A friend of mine had restored a 39 around 25 years ago. I remember seeing all the pieces around his shop, all rotten and weathered. I can't find the one I had of it completed. In any case I had you like it.
  16. Thank you, actually, a truly stock finish would have light frames over dark panels. However I used what I had.?
  17. Decided to go ahead with the hit & miss engine. Started scrounging for parts.
  18. Thanks guys, glad you like it.
  19. Here it is in front of the FTB shop and in front of my garage here at home.

  21. And so it is done....Hope you like it. Under glass photos coming shortly.
  22. Not really an orphaned make , they still make heavy trucks but no Scouts. International Harvester 345. OHV V8, 345 cu.in./158 hp.
  23. Same here except the friends. Sometimes we call the grandkids before going for a walk so they're in the window when we come by. Plenty of time for styrene and sawdust.
