    Circa 1954 Movie "Them" started with an invasion of giant Ants in Ludlow CA, so now, every time I pass that way I keep a wary eye out for antenna on the horizon!

    I remember having the original kit back in 1961 and the engine wasn't anything to write home about. I bet this one doesn't have the metal rod axles.

    Definitely subject and scale. In my youth it was a broader spectrum but I've always been an Indy fan so I have a large stock of 1/24-5 kits dating back to the 60s. However, more recently I am into Speed Record cars, again in that scale. Thank you FPP! I can pretty much work with anything if it is close to accurate.

    Looking good EG. I've been stumped on the cone clutch and the bottom of the engine,/oil pan, what do you have for reference for those parts? Since this screen shot I've added the magneto and shaft linkages.

    the only wheels and tires you can find are old Merit kit clear wires and skinny GP tire that don't match.

    You clear coat your crapy enamel paint job with lacquer, which is all you can get, and then stripping it down the styrene body melts into a gob of goo. And it was the last of those 'find no more' kits that cost you your life savings because you just Had to have it.

    Well the Bonnet ought not blow off at speed with that nifty holdfast!

    just needs a winged rad cap, but what a fun project, great weathering!

    Finished is an elusive term I am still striving to achieve.

    Just 4 more to go! Those are outstanding! But, then, the whole build demands it. Including the nipples in the 3D print is insightful.

    Relationships are hard to come by when both desirable and Undesirable women run screaming at the sight of you.

    Some modelers prefer smaller scales, some larger, and some the whole rigmarole.

    The LBC looks like it would be a pretty cool LSR but I am not sure about the Dusi spoked wheels for aerodynamics. I think I finally have my color scheme sorted out the the Bug LSR.

    Can't see it from my house.

    And now you have the truck to do it!

    Looks Sweeet Pat! Must have been fun to drive in the day. I was just going to say 'is the pipe laying dozer next'? Is there room in the garage?
  25. Big John
    It is more like driving a Land Yacht.
