Hi Chris, This thread is just amazing. I really enjoy your sharing of the creation of the 3-D parts you are using. That is something I find fresh and new . It is what makes getting online so cool, learning something new and watching it happen. That is terrible what happened to the floor pan, you seemed to be on a roll. Hope it does not slow you down too much. Randy

Thanks for looking in ! Randy

That is all for now, Thanks for looking in ! Randy

Hi Folks, Richard, sorry I forgot to thank you for the nice words Hey Bill, maybe just a little I will say the other stuff has been pushed aside with adding the GT40 project to the bench along with this one. update... Adding some detail to the tanks and trying out a muffler guard.... Starting on building up the mast portion of the winch, more.....

Thanks for checking in Bill. Appreciate it Randy ! Working on the topside of the 'tub'..... The tunnel that carries the water and oil pipes down the middle will get chopped up so that I can put in the crossover fuel pipe at a later date. Thanks for looking in, Randy

Hi Ken, That engine compartment is awesome !! Hard to beat black & gold. Randy

Hi Mike, Really nice to see a not so common Mopar build The paint choice is superb and the build reflects your fine skills !! Randy

Thanks Bob ! Hi Ray, Thank you and looking forward to more on the wagon Joseph, I paid about $30.00 on ebay. Hello JC, Thanks and I would look forward to your build ( the Porsche was awesome!!) Thanks Wayne ! Hi Len, appreciate it JC, to bad about Thunder Valley, those looked really good. Here are some pics of the set I have from Le Mans Miniatures... I am pretty happy with them, they have the width that I needed for the '69 car . Do not like the casting gate on the soft rubber tires and wish they came with the Firestone logo ! Randy

That is all for now, Thanks for looking in! Randy

Hi Folks, When I'm frustrated with my Hot Rod wrecker project I work on building GT40 P1076 as it appeared in the 1969 Le Man's race. This car is the sister to the very famous 2 time Le Mans winner chassis P1075.. Actual plans for the GT40's are among the most closely guarded secrets of the planet However the web provides some help..... Racingicons restoration site has some good stuff as they restored this car. the Cushman Competition site has exploded plan drawings for the basic Mk 1 road car that was sold to the public. the Glescoe site has a nice photo essay on their P1076 replica build. the SMC model site has a wonderfull 1/8th scale build by Dan from France. I picked up Fujimi's 1/24th boxing of P1075. This is a fairly simple curbside kit but it does have a body that measures close in most of the important spots. I also have the '69 rims and tires from LeMans Miniatures, these are more correct for this car than the Fujimi kit ones. Starting on the "tub" the real thing... Soldering together layers of brass..... more....

Hi Richard, The bench top lathe is awesome my friend !! Really impressed with this project, you continue to improve your scratch building with every build ! Randy

Hey Tyrone, That bed is looking right now !!! Can't wait to see more. Randy

Hi Blair, Good to see you on another rusty project!!!! This one is looking sweet . Randy
