    David is welcome to my Iso casting. It is pretty rough but the shape is not too bad. Patto has an Iso Grifo body listed but labeled as a '65.
  2. Gramps46
    X2 for sure!

    I really like where you are going with this Studebaker. Please keep us posted on your progress.

    Just arrived this 1946 Dodge Power Wagon Special Edition Ertl Collectibles in 1/25 scale. For $15 plus shipping with all paperwork and box I could not resist. As a new Air Force 2nd Lt in 1968 we had a Power Wagon Ambulance as our office vehicle.

    Both the Knobbly and Grifo were backfills of slot bodies though the Lister got a lot of mods to get the dimensions correct.

    Or for the adventurous there is an Iso Grifo.

    Sorry but no Sebring programs. I do have a casting of a Lister Knobbly though that needs a good home.

    These are the only 2 Otaki I have and was pretty satisfied with each. The Corvette I had to modify to get what I wanted and the Capri I have yet to get around to paint and assembly.

    A little Snake-Fu on the '56 PU and it will be good to go. Always liked the '56.

    I like it Ray and what you have done with it. You stepped up to the challenges and did a fine build.

    What a treasure trove of photos. Just wish you could sort by year.
  12. Gramps46
    Yup, that is what I figured.
  13. Gramps46
    That is pretty amazing Pico.

    Just what the others have said, beautiful builds.

    I just found this white metal Gurney Westlake engine in my cleverly labeled Engine Kits box. It is larger than your kit engine and smaller than 1/24. It was produced by R&D Unique prior to becoming MiniExotics and has pretty good detail. The valve covers would need to be changed and it does have a dry sump. It is yours if you decide you can use it.

    I like the Judge a lot. Now tell us what we are looking at with the 442? Who made it and what scale is it, looks pretty big.
  17. Gramps46
    I have never seen a 2E looks so good. The little bits really make it pop!!
  18. Gramps46
    Yes, I did enjoy the pictures. Thank you for sharing them and the background with us.

    1/24 Bartoletti – A Load of Cobras This is a scratchbuilt Bartoletti transporter that was used in Europe by Shelby and Alan Mann to transport Cobras and GT40s. The body and interior were fabricated by Mike Sells of Fargo and an AMT Ladder Truck chassis added by yours truly. Fabrizio, who also built a Bartoletti transporter, contributed the lettering. The Cobras are by Revell #142, Gunze Sangyo #11, and Lindberg #59.

    Beautiful for sure. I know it is 1/18 and the level of detail is fabulous. The Ferodo decal is a nice touch.

    Pattos Place in Australia has the vac body like David B. used and the wheels are in the '64 Cutlass kit I believe.
  22. Gramps46
    I am impressed.

    Thanks to Snake's tip, I just received the Motormax Bond Aston Martin DB5. The doors open and the roof hatch is removeable but that is it. The wire wheels are not bad actually. But look at the headlamps. I am disappointed with them. Here is a comparison with the Danbury Mint DB5.

    I don't have to look who the sender is anymore I've come to recognize the countertop. Carry on!!

    My theory is you can never have enough Porsche 911s. So when influencer Helmut posted the new Hachette Collection 1970 911S I went looking for one. Unfortunately the only ones I found on the web would not ship to the USA. But I keep checking and patience finally paid off and eBay finally had a listing and mine came yesterday.
