Sheeesh! This is an incredible work of art Dave! I don’t know how you guys do it… Not sure how I missed this one until now, thanks for sharing. 
Cheers, Steve

Very impressive. Right down to the very realistic aluminum weld beads on the valve covers and headers.

first time here dave , but i will surely be back. incredible workmanship. truly a work of art.

Fantastic! I only built one 1/8th model in my life and that was Monogram's E-Type in the mid-60s. Sadly, now I don't have the workspace, display area, or the brain power to take on a challenge like this. But I am really enjoying following your amazing work. Thanks!

Dave, so great to see your latest posts on this car. FANTASTIC. I remember seeing your cars in person at a show near Pottstown. It might have been 2013? Very inspiring.

Goodness gracious Dave.........the frame is beautiful in paint & I love the color you picked.  It sets off all the beautiful pieces you've fabricated.   You're excited now I can see and moving VERY rapidly.   So worth it to see you pull this project forward and complete it, you've got to be stoked.    Cheers, tim

Thanks for the excellent shots of this epic build. Amazing! Can't wait for your next update.

Wow Dave ! That looks like it’s not far away from hitting the track !

[AmericanMuscleFan]

Such a beautiful build Dave, it would have been sad not to finish it (at least move the project forward), quality takes time, the results so far are spectacular !!!

[comp1839]

thanks Tim!!! you always motivate me.  

thanks Steve.

thanks Jason, every once in a while it's not long before it hits the floor!!!! hehehe

thanks Francis. there was so much time and effort in it already i knew i had to finish it.  i guess i'll just have to wait and build a super killer 1/8 scale version of my '37 now. 

spent the better part of the day making decals, nitrous valves, gauges, and tie rods. got the sparky plugs wired too. 

 

[Chris Smith]

Wow, just wow!

I have admired your craftsmanship for a few years. And as always I’m blown away with what you can produce.

thank you for sharing.

i came upon some pics of the rear housing i made for this one. i turned some spindles  out of brass(i was going to make the rear work but later canned the ideaa)  cut some axle tubes, cut the individual plates and the soldered her all up. 

 

[iBorg]

Stunning.....no other words.

[jasoncamaro]

Love the update Dave !

[AmericanMuscleFan]

That's what I call an heavy duty housing Dave !  Superb !!! ?

[bobthehobbyguy]

What an amazing project. Lots of mind boggling work here.

[Codi]

Nice rear Dave...............(sorry, that one was too easy)    I have to check out your facebook page as Beth Ann said you've updated it a bit too.   cheers, tim

[John Teresi]

[cobraman]

That is a work of art for sure !

[comp1839]

i just thought i'd let you guys know i'll be putting this on the back burner again. hopefully not for 10 more years.  my '37 needs a motor transplant so that will be taking my time for awhile. thanks for all the nice words and i'll be back as soon as i can. THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!
