Wow. How'd I miss this back when? Great build, Lyle! (Sorry I'm late to the game.)

Wow.

Nice build, Jonathan!

Sweeeeet! Love the Cheetah!

Great info, Harry & everyone! Thanks! Looks like it's a good time and good idea to retire the old fluoro lamp.

Nice.

Nice, Jonathan!

Way kewl!

Nice!

Really nice models!

Very nice.

Nice build! Love the color ~ it looks great with the black stripes.

Nice.

Good golly Miss Molly! That is NICE!! Can't wait til my friendly, neighborhood plastic pusher calls to say my 'fix' has arrived!

Well, if you didn't wear hotpants ... Sorry to hear of your tribulations ... but at least the trial turned out okay! Seriously, welcome back. Now get to work ~ you've got about 248,657 posts to review in order to get caught up! PS: Insert Emoticon indicating 'you were gone?' here.

Gotta get eyes checked ... seem to be seeing double. {Neat project, Ira!}

Oh, man! That sounds terrible. You need to do something about that cough, man! Now, who's this Art Werke guy?

Very cool; great program. Looking forward to seeing the results!

OMG! That is another work of art! Gorgeous! Thanks, Dave and company, for pumping excitement and life back into the manufacturing end of the hobby. Live long and prosper!

This should help. No chips, but a lot of info.

Wow! That's beautiful!

Thanks!! That is an 'old' picture and the chassis is pretty much still right about there ... rolling/running chassis ... been working on the fenders and body. Just not enough time! Acquired this truck in 1971 with 55,000 original/actual miles; last licensed and used regularly on public roads in 1955. But, it was well cared for and exercised periodically on their farm. Bought it from the original purchaser's son-in-law for $300 ... and he dropped a brand new Western Auto battery into it, fired it up, and it sat idling while I wrote out the check and he signed over the title! Checked and refreshed all the fluids, aired up the tires, put a new fan belt on (it came with the truck, along with the original tool kit and jack). Drove it some to limber it up, then a couple of weeks later drove it 110 miles (50-60 mph) to my uncle's property for inside storage. Tore it down, refreshed everything with original parts & materials, had new rear spring bushings machined (only part I couldn't find OEM or repro), and have been re-assembling it ever since. Oh, yeah. The truck had one original tire and one '40's logging tire plus 2 later feedstore bargain tires. Replaced the tires with the new Coker repros you see in the pic. My pride & joy. Gotta finish it ...

Glad it helped!

Nice.

Ooh, yeah! That's excellent!
