Old Albion Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Rick, Very impressive and very ambitious! Have you any photo's closer up? I would like to have a look at some of the details. They may help me with some of my own ideas for a build that I have ongoing. Good Luck with the rest of the build and keep us posted. Best Wishes Dave

mountaindewd Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Rick, Nice details on your build! Looking forward to more updates. Les Any chance you could post future updates with larger pics? 640 x 480 is a good size and not too large for the screen.
Old Albion Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Rick, This is exceptional work! Superb standard and some great ideas. I would never have thought about installing real studs to the wheels and the brake shoes, just great. I shall be watching out for this one definately! Good Luck with the rest of the build. Best Wishes Dave
plasticbutcher Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 Thank you for the great comments guys, I got this kit from "cfnutcase" over two years ago when I was still in Utah, so it has some miles on it, it was stalled but shes mow back on the bench and I hope to have it done in about 6 months, will post more pics when I get some taken
CFnutcase Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 This is one of those kits you have to see in person to truly apreciate, Rick has done some really cool stuff to it, I think he needs some serious therapy. He is a sick, sick, SICK, man.......Jim
greenie Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 This is one of those kits you have to see in person to truly apreciate, Rick has done some really cool stuff to it, I think he needs some serious therapy. He is a sick, sick, SICK, man.......Jim Nope, he aint even started to get serious with it YET, it's still pretty much outa-da-box still, there's a bloody lot more he could do to it, if he really tries hard enough. Done it all before, like 20 year ago, still got a few pics, that's if anybody is interested.
