Finally after MANY attempts....a photo! I have a love/hate thing with this technology!

Back to work on the foundation. Just sorting out the suspension and wheel/tire location. The rear end is a narrowed '30 Packard unit with bat-wings added for the future 4 bar. (Sorry...can't post any photos).

Gorgeous build...spectacular colours. Did I mention I liked it?

It's looking good!

I really like this one also. I love the cycle fenders hunkered down close to the tires! Smooth!

I can't explain why I find these cars cool...but then I can't explain why I love hot rods either! Am I the only one with an insufficient answer?

A real work horse. Very well done.

Cool hot rod Ray. Nice colour.

Beautifully balanced car! You're doing a great job Bill.

Very lovely model! The interior is superb.

X 2!!

Thought I'd drag this old project out and see what needs immediate attention. Got looking at how I planned to mount the wheel backs as I really want those Pro-stars. Also need to raise the rear deck a bit .....so here we go! Back into bench time finally. And also knew about issues with the hood fitment, so while a lot of work is well started, there is miles to go. So here it sits today.

Hi Road! Welcome. Quite a few of us Canuckleheads here. Hope you stick around.

We got insurance...right???

Sounds like the sensible thing to do...making lists. However, I'll probably be helter-skelter with my builds...as usual.

Thanks guys. Bill, it pleases me that you approve of the Offy! I was hoping you would.

Totally unexpected build! VERY cool! Very sinister also.

Looks very well done under the hood! Good looking muscle car.

Looks good!

The lakes modified will have a full hood, thanks to a Pyro 35 Auburn (the sides are scratch-built with mesh air vents ) . And I've kept the model "A" grille shell to keep it more period correct. The seats are '32 Ford Victoria (AMT). The floor is scratch-built as well.

Nice collection of '49 Mercs. I too, like the black coupe. Puts a new twist on the Merc. Cool!

Coming along very nicely Rich! Looks good in that amazing garage!

Thanks for the good wishes fellas. I really appreciate your interest. Nobody wants to get back at the lakes car more than me! And I also have the '37 cabover, a '34 pickup and a camper trailer on the go....just no ambition since my health took a dive. But with the spring on the way, and I can access my paint facility, maybe some action will soon happen.

Now that's sharp! Kinda like a "Ute" to my eye. I like it!

My bad. I did have the XJ S, not the XJ 6. Anybody know who made the XJ S?
