Had to try it on the chassis. Began the foiling.

You like that?

Impressive!

Quite the rig. well done. Hope you have a good shelf.

That looks pretty involved. Looking forward to follow the development.

Steve, he is in South Africa, he may be referring to the top. ?

Welcome aboard Peter. You will enjoy it here.

Oooooh, I love that engine. And the rest of the car too, of course.

Yes, my keyboard acts up sometimes and doesnèt print what I peck.

I'll say.. That is seriouly organized.

It was at thr Ford Rouge plant making rear fenders (mudguards). At 1:25 the machine itself would be at lest 12 inches tall, then there is the building.....

Any one willing to tackle this one?

Same here. I was a backyard mechanic, with enough knowledge to take stuff apart and put it back together but less so in the trouble shooting department. I read car books all my life so I have a fair to good knowledge of the history, development and changes that occured over the years but there are some gray areas. When I restored my '34 Chevy, I was on the Chevrolet Club forum all the time. There is a gentleman there who is well into his eighties and who worked at a dealership for 50 years whose hobby is answering our questions. His help was invaluable. Same with another one of my hobbies, woodworking. I'm on a forum there too and the variety and amount of knowlerge there is mindboggling. So here, it is the same, there are guys who have benn there, done it in most aspects of the hobby and in the real world. For example, I built the Chrysler A-925 but couldn"t find much info other that it was more or less experimental and never passed the project stage. Well, there is a member here who was there and worked on it. Same for the modelling, we all have seen those mind blowing paint jobs, or incredibly accurate weathering or detailing. As in real life there are all levels of every skill. And that is what makes forums like this so enjoyable. And yes I have tried to build some of the cars I owned. I attach before & after shots of my '34 as well as one of the model I built of it. Have a nice Christmas all.

OK Tom, you can uncross. I think we made it. Now, about 36 hours of foiling. Some chassis work going on as well.

Masked for two-toning. Hope this works. Keep your fingers crossed.

Looked again. the thunderbird version appears to have the supercharger on the right.

Always enjoy the Blues Brothers. At a car show in Granby QC, a few years ago.

Merci.

Rusty, I checked and it wasn't Wal-Mart. The Web says that Ollies has them, I can't verify as there isn't any Ollies here.

Now don't ask me where I got it. Wal-Mart maybe?

Bill, I am impressed by your eyesight. The web says you are 889 miles away!!!!

Not quite the same but it'll do. The purists are going to cringe.
