WOW Misha !!!! Your MG looks awesome with the paint and decals. Randy

Andrew, You are doing an awesome job whipping this Cobra into shape!!! The motor looks spot on. Plug wires and more? Randy

Great build going on here Phil!!!!! That is alot of holes? As to the HRM set.... The two sway bar attachment blocks are those 2 tiny square pieces in the middle of the photo showing the parts. The sway bar is the piece of brass rod that needs to be bent to shape.... Randy

I think you outdid yourself with this one my friend!!!! Your refusal to concede anything to scale sets this build apart from most others. I do believe you managed to model every detail found on the real deal with great skill and fidelity to scale. I am so glad I got to see this in person while you were building. Now let's get to work on the Chaparral !!! Randy

Awesome project Francis!!!! Your machining skills in plastic and metal really set the bar high Sir. I always come away amazed. Randy

Love this project Ian!!! All the wonderful detail that I have come to expect from you and more. Randy

Ian, What an awesome model sir!!! I enjoyed following your progress and am so impressed by your skills in working with all the different mediums in this build. Your knowledge of the 1/1 comes thru in every detail. Thank you for sharing!!! Randy

Martin, Having a great time following this one ! Randy

This is a cool project David!!! I like the way you beat that gurney into submission my friend. Dash and grill are looking sharp! Randy

WOW!!!!! Love this project my friend. Your skills are really shinning on this one. Randy

bottom part of the oil pan... So started work on the wiring harness and made up the generator and starter with solenoid. As this is a front engine car with a rear transaxle the "tranny" is pretty much a clutch cover. That is all for now. Thank you for looking in! Randy

Need a generator and a starter and that funky shaped oil pan with cooling fins...using fairly thick lead sheet stock that is carved for fins to give me that fan shaped curve surface, this idea using the lead sheet came from Straightliner Daniel's dragster build where he used thin lead sheet for an embossed cog blower belt. more....

Hi Folks, Brad & Art , Thank you my friends. Yes, I should have this one ready for GSL. I see that Mr. Randy Derr has thrown down that gauntlet with that awesome 1/12th scale Corvette so going to have to finish strong:) Andy, get back to work, May is coming Francis, Thank you for that. I always get inspired looking at your work!! Daniel, appreciate the kind words, your brass chassis dragster is just wonderful. Bruce, Sorry to disappoint buddy!!! Charlie, glad you like it, you are setting the bar pretty high yourself. Thank you Dave B.!! Noel, that is a humbling list you have there! Work on the crankcase and oil pan..... Couple of reference pics, Photo credit to Joel Finns book and a recreation from England... White metal pieces filed to shape.... more coming....
