ode to Jairus

Well, it isn't finished yet, a few things to do like wires and drag link etc, etc, but here it is. I just loved the look of this when i saw it in the mag last year and went out and bought 3 of these kits. I also bought a 1-1 truck and am in the process of building it, but ran out of money. hahahaha. It has also been real hot all summer here in the desert and i am not a fan of hot weather so i have been building models instead. Now you may wonder "why do i live here?". Except for the summer, it's nice but, i digress. Anyway, whoever says models are expensive has never built a 1-1 car. I started building this also to see what problems i might encounter. I think it has come out pretty good. It's not exactly like the mag pic but, i am tring to make it like the 1-1 truck and that is dictated by money, again. Sorry for the pic quality, as my camera is not very good. Click on the pic for a bigger view.

I like it too! I also like the idea that you are building a 1:1 based on the model based on the drawing! Kind of why I now have a '70 Jeepster and a '64 A100. Loved the models of 'em when I was a kid.

Nice job. I likes it. Great job on the shifter knob too!

hey guys! sorry i haven't been on for awhile. i didn't bookmark this thread and forgot about it. i am sorry for the pic quality. i keep trying to snag a better camera on egay but, they keep getting out of my price range. as far as the 1-1 goes, if you go here you can see how far i've gotten. i did the same mods to the model but, in 1/25th scale.
