Dan- Many years ago I made a delivery trip from Cleveland to West Jefferson, that must be when I learned of Lewis Center. I lived in Akron for a few years back in the 80's in the Grant St, and Wolf Ledges area- near the old Greyhound Station. It was not a good neighborhood in 1987 and I'm sure it's much worse now. Still, one of the best times in my life... so far. I don't remember any particular swap meet in that area, but it sounds to me like you might be referring to the Canfield Fairgrounds. There's also Boardman and Ellsworth west from Y-town along 224- not much after that until you get to Akron. Thanks everybody else for the kind comments. Now on to the pics! Here's the BMF I put down while waiting for my turkey to cook. Yup, I even painted the white stripe on the side spear! Obviously, I still have some fit issues to work out for the grille and bumper. But, with the BMF done, the rest is easy. As always, thanks for taking the time to look, and feel free to comment. David G.

Very cool! It reminds me of a paddle-wheel boat! This'll be a fun one to watch. David G.

Looks like those gankstah wheels wouldn't even touch the ground if they were bolted to the spindles! I think you might have to lift the car to lower it!! David G.

All of a sudden I'm hearing the theme from the TV show Sanford and Son in my head! Cool truck Doc! David G.

I'm a subscriber and Ive never been dissappointed with an MCM issue. My LHS is a little hit-n-miss on what they have and when. David G.

Smoooth and deadly! David G.

Dominik, I am always very impressed with your work and greatly enjoy seeing what you've done. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. David G.

Excellent work! Great weathering and I love the 250! David G.

Thanks Dan. I actually got the foil work done on Thanksgiving Day. I've been working since then and haven't had the chance to shoot any snaps to post. Hopefully tomorrow. BTW, where is Lewis Center? I remember hearing the name, but can't quite place it. I'm from the Youngstown area; a small town called Hubbard. David G

The El Camino is cool, but I love the Model T. David G.

I wonder if there has ever been a Hudson low rider, or if this is the first. Either way, a good start on an interesting project. David G.

A happy ending for an unfortunate event. It has a "rolling restoration" look to it. Excellent save! David G.

Wow! Very nice detail and weathering. David G.

I've tried it, trust me it doesn't help. I must not be a good enough idiot... I'm working on that too. David G.

Harsh language, yes. Violence, no. David G.

Even better now that it's done! Very cool! David G.

Excellent custom work! There's even a "Whack-A-Mole" game in the bed! All kidding aside, great job. David G.

This is gonna be cool! David G.

WOW! Awesome project, excellent work! David G.

Nice build... Nice touch with the chute tags. David G.

Ekcellent work, nice detail! David G.

The American Way! David G.

I'm guessing it's a model. The texture of the surface it's setting on looks like paper. David G.

Nice project! Keep up the good work. David G.

Nice work! The scary thing is that I've seen actual 1:1 vehicles no too different than this. David G.
