Bowers Jr. Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 John, Since Dave, Bill, an Lyle have split, you an Pete seem to be carrying this forum when it comes to flat out OUTSTANDING builds!

Peter Lombardo Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 John, not much more to add to the accolades on this build. It looks like you could just get in and go for a Sunday drive. Stunningly beautiful. It looks like the chauffeur spent an hour waxing it before taking her out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent G Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 When I informed Mrs G this was a model, all she said, in her thick Chicago accent, was "Get the &&&& out of here." That says it all. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsepower Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 When I was but a young lad, there was a gentleman just down the street that restored these for a hobby, I can say that your model is dead on, I can remember going down every evening to see what he was doing that day. The size of these babies in person was really impressive, I can just imagine how much space yours takes up being in 1/16 scale. Keep up the great work!
