Hi Folks, Mike, Thank you buddy Austin, Appreciate your kind words! Thanks Greg Hi Jim, thought you would like the new direction. Thanks David :) Hello Danno, Good to see you still around Thanks Red Dave, Thank you! Clay, Thanks and I get by with an assortment of heat sinks and pre planing. For heat sinks I use self closing tweezers, wooden clothes pins and bits of wet paper towel. The planning comes in when deciding how to assemble the pieces. I try to join the largest parts together first, they usually take the most heat applied the longest time. Then work down to the smaller stuff. Jason, Thank you! Hi Rob, I'm coming around to your idea slowly but surely Going to go with a hood but no sides. The piano hinge is from ModelCarGarage....

Hi Mikey, There is a whole lot to like about this one :D Body and frame work is outstanding!! Great motor. Randy

Starting with the cowl....

Hi Folks, Brad, Thank you my friend Thanks Clay Thank you Rob! Thanks Mike, Good to be back! Thank you Greg!! Ryan, Thank you! Thanks Mark! Chris, Thank you, with your skills you would be fine with the metal! Hello Niko!! Thank you for the kind words, I will be getting back on the drag car also! Hi David, thank you and I need to find and check your progress update... I have had a change in thinking as work resumed on this one. Going to go with a hot rod look as opposed to the rat rod that inspired me in the first place. I have been checking out reference pics of 1948 Diamond T trucks and decided to change. Still going to keep the no front fender look and keep it low to the ground, just better looking paint :D Some ref pics....

Hi Darren, Had great fun catching up with this one and going thru it all again, the paint and finish look awesome!!!! This is one of those builds you keep going back to. Congratulations, Randy

Hi Mike, Great choice, these 50's trucks are sweet. Really nice work getting that hemi in there :) Look foward to your progress! Randy

Hi Chris, Awesome scratch work!! Like the amber lights better than the grills too. Randy
