Thanks Bill.
I've got a few other goodies I wanna build in scale along this line. Hopefully, I'll get to them this winter and yes, I know it's just starting on summer.
Someone over at SA asked so I thought I'd share at two places. Good way to kill two birds with one stone IMHO.
My rotisserie is scratchbuilt from a couple of sizes of K&S Brass tubing and soldered together. It was also my first time soldering.
Like a 1:1, it's positionable.
It's also adjustable for different sized car bodies.
Yeah. I know. There's no wheels and that's because I haven't come up with a suitable solution to that problem yet.
Here's the set of plans I drew up before I ordered any K&S.
Daryl,
Here's a link to the scans.

If this doesn't work for you, LMK.
I'll keep the originals on my computer till my weekly cleaning on Monday.
Thanks Bob! It means alot coming from you.
If I were to do another (not gonna happen BTW), I think I'd go for black like the one I found for reference on eBay Motors.
The dark body colour really makes the interior, chrome and aluminium "pop".
The only "problem" and it's not really a problem was getting the finished chassis/interior into the body as the body has lots of "tumblehome". In other words, it really curves under. It's fiddly work more than anything else.
You may not be seen often but you'll never be forgotten George.
Any chance that GMP will consider doing their new 1/12 (?) driver figures as recently reviewed in HMM as in our scale?
Jackson and the boys have had this one finished for a few days now.
Inspiration came from this:

The Challenger would now be considered a runner if it were 1:1. It's not street legal but I don't think that would stop Jackson from taking her for a late night shakedown run.
Here's where things are at after working like a dog for most of the day.
That front suspension will be installed shortly after getting off the 'net tonight.
Need to finish detailing the air cleaner.
The interior and related components still need alot of work.
