Hi Charlie, nice to see your newest posts and progress. I can just see you now.......one step away from our crazy world of 1/25th scale. tee-hee Hope you're well doing personally too! cheers, tim

"Famous" Francis.......more like "infamous" at this point......making headway though and the 2 pics I'm posting today gives an idea of what I've been doing for so long on this build. Randy, thank you sir.....keep those beautiful pics of YOUR masterpiece coming please. cheers, to you both, tim So, started this build years ago with many of life's interruptions along the way. When I'm scratch-building a car, I've gotten to enjoy the research aspects as well as the rest of it. These 2 pics should give an idea of what I've accumulated and created (many of the pieces are scratch-built and or machined as well and accurate drawings are quite necessary). There are so many pics and then blueprints I've created for this car and the chassis is now drawn up as well. Next week I'll clear the decks and begin the fab process finally. Even though I've made quite a few pieces for this car to date, I've still lots of little ones to go. Hope you have the patience to continue to follow along. Cheers, Tim Many of the binders are stacks of drawings inside of them as well........

So Randy, it’s been 10 minutes and I’m STILL waiting for another update. 😁. All kidding aside as this is why I always look forward towards your posts. That’s inspirational for sure! Cheers, Tim

Hello Francis......I knew sooner or later we'd hear from you and like everyone else, I can't wait to see your updates. Having Randy back and sharing his pics and you back at your bench it would appear Christmas is going to come early this year. Cheers sir, Tim

Randy.........GRRRRRRRR........all I can think of is just imagine what he'd be cranking out if he just ignored life and all the distractions and just sat down for 1 year EVERY single day...WOW that's a sweet update. Granted, I've no room to speak and your posts are always some of the best that there are. Thanks for posting and sharing the goodness. Cheers, Tim

Mark, no better words could be said. He would have celebrated a recent birth date if he were still with us. He was a friend I'm proud to say besides being my mentor. His work stands the test of time and he'll certainly be missed. I personally appreciate the fact you brought his thread back up to remember him by. He was a good man. Respectfully, Tim

Whoa Chris. That looks so fantastic. enlarged the pics of course to stare at the goodness and must say that your assembly skills are some of the best around. Not a dust bunny, glue thread, orange peel or (insert) to be found. Perfection. What paints are you using btw? That black on the roof is as deep as a pool of oil. Peugeot would be proud! Cheers, tim

Hi Ian, I must say that the corvette has some serious "swoop" to it. I like the subtle body mods too it as well. Nice! cheers, tim

Dave......thanks sir! Your mini charger is one I remember well as a kid......great subject and be sure to post more. cheers, tim Paul.., I'm well into the weeds now on the drawings for it. 3 different sets to get to 1. These 70's Don Hardy chassis involve a bit more than I thought but I'm getting there. Thanks too for the compliment! I'll have to share a pic of my first drawing just to give an idea. cheers, tim

Super-clean Dennis. Very nice. cheers, tim

Good morning everyone, Finally getting onto the chassis......did some proofing out of things yesterday based upon my drawings and the pics of the chassis I took earlier this year. Found a couple errors but now I can refine the final drawing and start to fab it. I'm going to use the same method I used to make the chassis as I did my Bantam for reasons of accuracy. Hope everyone else is doing well the sun is shining upon you! cheers, tim

Bruce, and that's on an SP3 Daytona correct? Sheesh is all I can say........the last time Ferrari were "right" was the last year Schumacher was still part of the F1 team. Boy am I dating myself now or what? (rhetorical) cheers, tim

Charlie, Now you're just showin' off.......... 😀 Cheers, Tim

Hi Charlie, Sorry it's been a while........quick thoughts........like the bottom of the chassis and what you're doing with the exhausts.......the re-sized cage looks much better and it was worth your efforts and lastly........a fractal vise...........I want one! We tool junkies just have to have tools like that now be sure to show us some pics of it in use too........... Cheers, Tim

Dirk, So nice to see you back here and posting. I've always enjoyed your creations and this will be no exception. Thanks too for the "nod".....cheers, tim
