Man this is just killer Brother.  There are so many details that set this build off and just pop. You keep raising that bar for the rest of us. I am going to have to step up my game just to keep up. The seat and belts look killer and I lI've what you did to your tins. Every update you do is just better than the previous. Loving your work my friend.

Stephen Hawking called. He wants to know how you calculated the Quantum Entanglement Oscillation Reverberation Phase Loop

when you built your Handy Dandy Mr. Shrinky Doo-Dad Machine.

John, I'm in total awe of the linkages. I'm speaking more about myself than anyone else, but you're adding detail many of us desire,

but don't quite achieve.

Tom called and wants his car back.  Good gawd Johnnie. It looks great as a roller. These photos are better reference than the 1:1 car. I am in awe of your work and, although it doesn't seem possible, I think your skills improve with each build. I love how you experiment with some new technique, after-market parts, or paint mixture on each creation your masterful hands make. We're not worthy.
