  19. Pictures do not do justice to your 32 roadster, seeing it in person saturday made me feel like a "hack", the more you look- the more you find, great work, thank you for showing it at our contest,
  20. You are sooo right Marshall, IT FREAKIN ROCKED, we had so many great builds it was almost immposible to pick a winner Next years show WILL be ina bigger location and we are tweeking the processing, we want to thank every one who attended, we had some good conversations with some great people,
  21. Thank you George, yes it was the Revell 32 ford 3 window coupe (Black w/flames on box top) , to boost power I have built a "Hemi" head for the slant-6, and it will pull a "lowboy" trailer, I'm trying to have it finished for our clubs show on the 14th of March, Marshall---pics should up tonight !! photografer has been sick,
  22. I got to agree it look like a model to me, but my eyes are bad

  24. Lookin good so far, I think a 302 from the Revell 32 ford would look good out front (got one if you need it) with some skinny wires wheels from a "t bucket" up front but than I'm the goof who puts slant 6's in ford trucks HA HA HA Keep up the good work my friend By the way-- any of those Mercedes parts you want to get rid of ?????????
