Vohelpe -(wilson) made them myself.......thanks for looking. tim Thanks Mike for also checking it out............hopefully sooner than later. cheers Hi Charlie, I won't bother everyone one what's been going on. I'm as disappointed at my complete lack of progress at this date. My hand surgeries were postponed for a month (mid-Feb now) because of some back issue that blew up on me. Appreciate your thoughts and I'm determined to at least get back for a few hours a week to keep the mojo going..........came too far on this build to just stop right now. cheers to you as well! tim

So many details Ian........and all worth a second take. Keep em' coming. cheers, tim

Love the ProMods Marcus, and the camaro suits it perfectly. Congrats on the progress so far. They're challenging to build. Tim

It's been a while since I've checked in Daniel, nice to see the progress you've made. cheers, tim

It IS nice to see you back on this build Dave. The new bits are gorgeous (of course) and I love in your stacked tray for the coil etc. Picked up that little detail on your Braille battery tray and securing the cables to it. Nice. I still can't believe how far you've come with that body that you had to work with. It's looking pretty sharp now........far cry from what it was. Congrats! cheers, tim

Mark, Santa has come and gone but your build did not arrive down my chimney. I'm going to blame on the "bomb cyclone" and the delay in mail..........I'm sure it's going to show up soon though. btw, simply superb & sublime build. I'll be looking for the final pics soon and hope you had a Merry Christmas too. cheers, tim

Randy, it's fair to say we all wish we had your skills.............any of them. Surely this "alchemy" of panel beating that you've attempted and mastered is beyond mere mortals. I can't wait to see this build someday. Will you be going to the Salt Lake show in 2023? Talk to you soon. Tim

Paul.............. ? ..................always love an update from you. cheers, tim

Nice to see you back Francis and on this new project. Hope to see a new update soon and please keep sharing your methods and madness with us all. We can benefit surely. cheers, tim

That's a lotta spaghetti Ian but then again I LOVE spaghetti (tubing that is) Great start to the chassis sir. cheers, tim

Thanks so much everyone and hope you had the best that Christmas has to offer. Just a note to Dave (comp1839) that Santa's a little miffed and told the elves to get to work making him a sleigh just like yours! cheers, tim

To those that celebrate, a MERRY CHRISTMAS to one and all! Cheers, Tim

IMO one of the best looking race cars bar none Rich. You did her true justice! congrats! tim

Tomasz, your car is one of the nicest I've seen all year. I looked twice to confirm it was a model. Kudos on a truly outstanding car! Please don't hesitate to share more of your work sir! cheers, tim

Nice intro to the project and the finished build and awards are NICE.........but John, I come here for all the tips and insights you share when you build something............so, how about sharing ALL the goodness next time! Seriously though, Congrats John on another win! cheers, tim

Yup, it's a model...........only because you say so. That is one realistic looking build Urs. cheers, tim

Pascal, just WOW. I love your build but I have to admit I'm going to need more time to go back and stare at all the WIP pics you've shared. There is a lot of goodness throughout your build. Cheers, tim

I truly enjoy all these details and attention you're giving your build. Coming together nicely Andrew. Cheers, tim

You do really clean work Rick. Your time in it shows. cheers, tim

Still lurking Charlie..........any new updates to share per chance? cheers, tim

She looks GREAT sitting in white Roger. Can't wait to to see the rest of it.........it does look "oh so right". cheers, tim

Looks fantastic Ian.....you added a lot of great details too..........cheers, tim

btw Mark, Christmas is coming and I've been a good boy............sooo.............seriously, who wouldn't want to own this build of yours. Congrats again sir. Cheers, tim

Hope you're up and about soon Andrew. I admire your build and the generous info & documentation you've provided on the thread. Helpful to all of us no doubt. Get well soon, cheers, tim

Something a little different from my usual builds & work. I can't do much at the bench right now even though I'm anxious to get back to it in earnest. My daughter has a school project that she is doing on the Wright Brothers. Their prime competitor at the time was Samuel Langley. He used an engine originally developed by a Mr. Balzer but it needed further development and he hired a Mr. Manly to take it to the next level. Anyways, the Wright engine was good for 12hp whereas this radial was eventually good (in 1903) for 54hp. Back in the day that was a huge contrast. So I took a week to machine the basic Balzer prototype and it was FUN! It's close to accurate but I wasn't being a stickler on it. It would have looked cooler with cooling fins but they didn't add those until the final version of the engine was complete. Surgery btw is Jan. on both wrists for carpal so again, I made this one kind of quick..........Less than 2 weeks from start to finish. Hope you like it. Cheers, Tim The book cover above was a from a great book on the subject that I bought from the Smithsonian btw.
