Hi Joe, The joys of maco photography Like your idea for the different shades on the engine parts, looking forward to more on this one. Randy

Hi JC, That front end work really paid off !!! 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....
