Two highly respected contributors to this forum were mentioned in 1/1 scale mags recently.... 

* Fred Farrand's new 1/1 scale '36 Ford w/Y-Block power rod is  is pictured in the GoodGuys Nats (Columbus, OH) coverage in the new issue of GoodGuys mag...he won a "Top Ten" award at the event. 

* Dennis Lacy's work as a 1/1 scale hot rod builder was cited in Issue #7 of Speed and Kulture mag for his work on a transmission in a newly built early traditional style 1932 Ford highboy featured in that issue. 

Congrats to both of them for their work both as modelers and as 1/1 scale hot rodders!   TIM

Kudos to both of them.

I always considered building a 1:1 car as working on a model in its largest form!

In fact a lot of the skills I learned building models, I have put to use rebuilding a car.

Fred's new '36 Ford has just experienced another magazine appearance.  If I am remembering correctly, I saw his Washington Blue Roadster in the Street Rod Nationals coverage in the latest issue of Modern Rodding (former Street Rod Editorial Director Brian Brennan's new magazine).  Congrats Fred!   TIM
