They no longer exist for good reason. I know from experience that a 1/2 closed door if hinged at the rear can fly open suddenly. I'll just leave it there.

Those wheels as stated above.

LOLOLOLOL!

It matters to those who are after 100% orig. I don't build [rarely] factory stock. But when I do I go for a factory finish. I'm currently building a 1/9 BMW R-75 WWII bike w/sidecar. I'm going after patina a bit but am using gloss paint that's thinned a bit though my airbrush. It comes out not quite flat but seriously semi-gloss. is it correct? After looking at period pictures and restored bikes it becomes hard to tell. After I'm finished and it's weathered you can decide for yourself. My WIP goes up Thurs morning in the "All The Rest" category. But for me the correct paint makes a build come to life.

Crushed it. But I did make a couple of educated guesses.

Beautiful. They need some dirt IMHO. Bob

WHAT!!!?? I showed this to a co-worker and they didn't believe it till that bloody hand got in the way. RIGHTEOUS........

Big LIKEY! Great execution all the way. The more I look the more I like. Bob

Levels of craftsmanship we should all strive for. If we fall short [and most will], we can still be proud that we went that extra mile to see a project finished "just so". Impressive all.....

Cooler than the other side of the pillow.

Engine detail is OK. The carb is part of the intake and the header flanges part of the heads. No distributor and minimal engraving. It can be made to look good if doctored up. The way it sits in this car is perfect for the detail it has.

Thanks, I like to learn why things are the way they are.

Get it done Bill!!!!!!!

Menacing indeed sir.

AWB madnesss.... Love it broski.

There was a guy on the forums. Complained the front wheels on the Petty car stuck out too far. I was thinking..... Hmmmmm, it's a dirt track car.. I let it go. But after researching them it's a way of life. The offset track is what they need to get the thing around the bend. Perhaps someone could enlighten us all???? Bob

Looks pretty rough and tumble. Like it can take a punch and give one.

I normally don't comment on these because they usually seem sort of thrown together. This was a work of forthought and planning. I like it quite a lot.

As would I.

A few better pics. I did some weathering and the exhaust is installed.

Thanks Jeff. I certainly wasn't pointing at myself. But the guy has a following that is hard to deny. I have often thought of throwing something up on the bay and see what happens. I may still do it one day. Thanks again.

As good as his models are there are many here who can build with and outbuild him.

Very nice beginning.

Floored, Nailed..... That is what model cars are actually about. Not the tripe I spit out. Bob

No, Thank You Jeff. WOW.....
