Thank you guys. It was years in the making. Dave the owner was a ford parts guy for over 40 years and every part is nos parts. He has been getting parts for 40 years. It was cool to pull out a new part out of a ford box. And the parts fit! No aftermarket parts on this car. All factory ford. The engine is a 428

Hello Dave, this was at the Reno auto museum. Adam Carolla was there. Had a drink with him and shook his hand. He is a down to earth car guy that said he just got lucky. He and Jay Leno talked per computer on his podcast. We were in the theater. There is a super great story about how Jay Leno helped Adam Carolla get into the business. Icing on the cake was talking to Paul Newmans daughter,Nell. She was also down to earth, very fun and great time! It was all sold out, but I know the guy running the museum. And he was able to squeeze me into the event. Adam wanted to know about Paul’s Rolex watch, the watch brought $17,800,000!!!!!!! At auction.

Hello Chris. You have met Andre at our club show. He runs the Harrah auto museum. Good friend of mine. He told me about Adams Datsuns at the museum. He also told me about the pod cast and dinner. Everything was sold out but he made an extra seat for me . It’s who you know. -

Ok just completed the turbos. Took me several weeks just to do these. Fuel system next. Been slacking on models a lot. Wanted to work on this Saturday but seeing Adam Corrolla at the auto museum. Attending a dinner and the podcast. He has a special guest. Jay Leno is in town, so we hope it’s Jay. I will have pics. Anyway hope to have the fuel system finished in a few weeks maybe months. -

Hello Chris! Yeah after about a year I thought it might be good to start this up again. I look at the instructions and get a little dizzy. Holy cow. Getting a 1/8 Ferrari GTO from Mark soon so I might have to put this away and do the Ferrari. We shall see. Plus still waiting on parts for the 1/8 gull wing. Restoring a 1:1 1967 mustang GT. And restoring my 1965 mustang. So a little busy. Thank you for the pic not Farrah. Had this poster and the 917/30 in my bedroom as kid. -

Love your camaro -
Beautiful. Love the color. In our area long ago, this color was very rare. This color and the maroon made the mustang look very rich. Great job

Hello Bainford, it’s a 1/4 scale handmade aluminum body of the 250 GTO. And this is it. Only a body, it’s beautiful but holly cow. Someone will buy it. I have been approached by a guy from Dubai at the NNLWest that goes to model shows here in the west coast, wanting to buy models. He has bought a few. He loves 1/8 scale cars. He said when I want to sell my GT500 and 427 cobra I’m to contact him. He bought my friends Jaguar. It was painted silver and he had one just like it in 1:1. Went for $7500. So there are people out there with deep pockets.

Hello Claude. I had the pleasure of going to bonneville and watching Al Teague run his 392 hemi streamliner win a class record that held for over 20 years. Maybe more. Went to his house ( in Los angles) to see it before it ran. My friend Charlie Hamilton, was the tuner, he had a Honda dealership called Sierra Motors in Lake Tahoe, and I had an automotive restoration shop called Sierra Design . We did very well. I restored Charlie’s 32 fords and all of his other cool cars. But since I knew Charlie, he invited me to see it run. Fun stuff. Your model looks like the real deal. It could run at bonneville. Great job ! Another fantastic car out of your design studio.

The collection is not as big when Bill Harrah was alive. But they have a nice collection of cars. I’m going to the Adam Corolla podcast. That will be cool. It’s sold out. Dinnner , drinks etc with Adam and his special guest. They will not say who it is, but Jay Leno will be here the same day to perform Saturday night at the Nugget. We’re thinking it might be Jay. We’re hoping so.
