Give me your mailing address by PM.

It would have crossed the pond? By all means, I'd like anything that can help.

While the Full size cars are almost the same size length/width except for a wider track on the Buick, the differences in the models are eggagerated by the difference in scale, 1:25 Stude vs. 1:24 Buick. Here the difference in track was such that I had to narrow the rear axle by a scale foot almost. Most of that was because of the width of the tires. So the surgery has begun.

Here's the backstory. Back in the day I owned a 64 GT Hawk, 2nd from right in the photo. At a show there was a '54 with the interior and the drivetrain of a Buick Grand National. It is barely visible on the left. So I decided to do something like that.

I was looking at the stash for my next project and the Starliner caught my eye. I had visions of doing it in convertible since I already have coupe. Later, looking at the dwindling pile of rebuilds I saw a Grand National. Then, the light came on.

Here's mine Rob, if it can help. Very similar in concept.

Hi Dave. I showed him your post and he went and bought a pair.

One has been done as a Tommy Ivo Showboat engine, with the Zoomers facing down.

Thank you Carl.

What did the dog say?

Thank you Dave.The guys with the hats aren't workers, at least the one with the gray hat, he is the Boss. I've been looking for guys in coveralls but other than the racing scene ones and/or the ones in the garage sets I haven't found any. And I find the ones from the sets aren't as realistic.

Chrysler/Dodge 426 Max Wedge. OHV V8, 426 cu.in./425 hp.

Those wheels are absolutely gorgeous.

Fascinating Juergen. I shamelessly stole photos of your engine to help detail mine when I get to it.

Nice mood.

Like this Bill?

Thanks warren and Jerry. Added cab marker lights, turn signals, parking lights and painted upper grille bar. All these discrepancies were courteously pointed out in a PM by my favourite rivet counter.

Thanks guys.

And with an engine mounted. A first at FTB.

Pratt & Whitney R-1860, 9 cylinder air cooled radial, 1860 cu.in./ 575 hp.

I hope it isn't something one of us did.
