Tim, you did an article on my Vicky in the Nov. 93 Issue of Street Rodder.  I didn't know how to get a hold of you at the time to thank you for that. So here goes, Thanks for doing the article. I was truly honored. 

If you recall, another  34 at that GSL was Augie's red one.  One of the most impressive models I have ever seen in person!!

Hey Tim, You have a pretty good memory,  It was a 41 woody built out of Testors 48 coupe.  i was fortunate enough to have it make the cover of Scale Auto (can we say that here?) Feb. of 1997.

Haven't built any thing in about 20 years, but i started on a project a while back, I am "de Foosing" the Fd-100 and building a replica of my 1:1 56 F-100 big window.  Hope to have it done for Heartland Nationals if they have the contest next summer.

Ron. I know this will sound trite, but in my mind I was picturing that as a '41, or possibly a '42, rather than a '48, but I wasn't sure enough to write that.  I remember it being a way cool model.  

And thanks for saying thanks on that Modeler's Corner feature; you and all the other modelers our there building great street rod modelers out there made my job doing that monthly column an easy one.  So I could just as easily say thanks to you for letting me feature the Vicky or that article.  

Look forward to seeing your de-Foosed F100; I've mentally toyed with doing something similar and it will be very interesting to see what you come up with...Cheers...TIM

The new (May 2021) issue of FSM has an eight page article explaining the build process behind this model.  Might be worth checking out for those who are interested.  Also, for those who were disappointed with the lack of comprehensive build photos and details earlier in this thread, hope this explains why that wasn't in the cards at that time....TIM
