Just wanted to say he has super service! I needed just wheels for my GSL Beetle, and he helped me out. He had just relocated, so was not active at the time.

Very nice workmanship! A favorite subject of mine too.

? Yea, I know right? Coming back much later can be shocking. Only because I owned a '48 rolling wreck last century, this is a favorite subject. I've thought of doing a dually, but also as a "club cab". I'll be watching, cheering you to the finish line!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Even though I'm into Tuners (to a degree), some of those are weird. What happened to the spinner wheels, and the ones with LEDs that create a design while you drive?

Thanks, hope so! Finally resumed, wanted to kill two birds with one stone, vacuum-form part for the gas filler. I made a form out of Corian. I needed to produce my coke cooler handles, this fit in the corner. My vacuum-form tool uses an Oreck without the bag. Now I have room on the bench for my laptop. The cap is made from fat sprue rod, rolled on the file to make the knurled edge. Photo-etch ring with tiny sprue for detailing the cap. I also added piping to the convertible top part.

Welcome to my state!

Think I took a picture of this car, when I was a kid, at Tucson Dragway. I'll have to look in the album, and take a picture to post.

Woodstock Museum idea?

How fast does it go? ?? Cool idea, will consider making my own.

? That cat meme has gone viral, nice adaptation.

I've never seen this 1/16 Fujimi Porsche 959 in a hobby shop, got from someone who had to stop building models due to health. The seats slide and recline! The two intercoolers are included, but there are no pipes going to the intake! So there are still details to scratch build to make complete. There are two electric fan parts under the grill. (I've built the Tamiya 1/24 kit)

I read through so no repeats. The original 1964 issue on the right, dark red and strong slotcar plastic, reissue on the left from 1990.

? I was given that gas grill last century, ripped out all the gas stuff. The "spikes" are 1" square tubing, that was scavenged from a folding awning that somebody dumped in my neighborhood (sold most of it at salvage yard). Thought they would act like a chimney, fun to watch the smoke after putting chips on the coals.

That came out nice! Seems like intercoolers are always ignored. The side trim with the red line, you mask that?

Simple, local grass-fed from the farmers market, cooked on wood. Since it's still nice weather in AZ, and there is no fire restrictions, it's YOLO.

prefer mag wheels.

I *never* have this problem. ? My excuse, spend so much time on it, get bored, want to do something different. I have too many kits, and ideas, and no time. For this project, started mid 1990s! Stalled because I wasn't happy with the A-pillars, so need to reinforce with wire and rework a little. The big issue is doing the inside around the windows, plan on making some windows open like the real thing. These also have bars inside around the windows, the kit has lame decals, I want to make real wire units, not at all a fiddly detail. ? And I want to add lights, using fiber-optics, not at all involved or fiddly. ? Now that I think about it, will finish when the moon drops. Meanwhile, also have: Ferrari N.A.R.T. which was started recently, and *will* finish this year. Chevy Canopy Express started last century, attempted Bring Out Your Dead but now stalled, again. Bigatti (also not admitted to before) The list used to be longer, since I began on this forum, have completed most WIP! So there is hope, just spill the beans. Future projects: Mercedes C-111 Mercedes G4 sedan Toyota Celica with Lexus V8 '77 Honda Civic with Integra engine '68 and/or '69 Chevy pickup Gullwing diorama 1937 Auto Union Vanderbuilt Klein bike ad with 911 Turbo Dad's '51 Ford pickup Dad's '57 VW Beetle My '57 Chevy 4 door station wagon Model A Russell Stover sales car Tom Mix's Cord MFH - Ferrari Lusso Fisher - Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 5 Audi Quattro S1, two versions Pagani Huracan Ferrari GTO Spyder Just for an example, top priorities, mood changes (that's the real problem), so I'm *never* going to have this problem, ever, famous last words. ?

Cool subject! The instructions are different, much like what Hobby Design does graphic wise. Cheering you on!
