Randy D Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 Hi Folks, Pete, the zero came out great, I'm sure your client was very pleased. MrGasser, Thank you! Hey Richard, Just wish I could get as much done as you do ! Thanks Jim !! Hi Austin, Appreciate the comments. Hello Boban, Thank you for the compliments!

Randy D Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 That is all for now, thanks for looking in! Randy
Pete J. Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Randy, I need to go lie down for a little while. Those tanks and the exhausts are just stunning! I wish I had half of your imagination and 10% of your talent and experience. Just trying to imagine how you came up with this gives me a headache. This is just killer!
Sedanman62 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Hi Folks, A very, very belated thank you to all that have commented on this build since the last update!!!!! I am back on this one and will hopefully finish it this time with no more long breaks A look back .... Update, Forming headlights and turn signals using a set of dapping tools... Awesome inspiration Randy, where would we find that particular dapping tool set?
Randy D Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 Hi Pete, Appreicate the kind words my friend !!!! Sedanman, I believe that set came from Harbor Freight. Randy
DynoMight Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Wow. Wow. Wow. Just read through the whole thread. It is truly remarkable. Will this still be a Diamond T, I saw you mentioning that a few pages back, or will it be like the Rat Wrecker?
DumpyDan Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 incredible work, WOW! I would love to try this one day. Thanks.
Randy D Posted November 11, 2014 Author Posted November 11, 2014 Glenn, Sorry I did not notice your question earlier, the rat wrecker I reference at the beginning of this thread is actually a Diamond T I did move away from building a "rat" to make this a "custom Diamond T wrecker" Dan, Thanks for the kind words! Hi Richard, always appreciate your support !! Randy
Randy D Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 Hi Folks, An update.... Working on building up the bed and box for the wrecker. more....
Randy D Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 That is all I have for now, Thanks for looking in ! Randy
vintagedragfan Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Hi Randy, so good to see some progress on this, I cant say enough about your metal work, just stunning!! you are going to mess around and get this beautiful thing done if you aren't careful!! lol all ways a treat my friend, Bill
Pete J. Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Randy, Did you do the brass castings yourself. They really look good!
Darren B Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 super cool updates man i bet you could do the real thing instead of a model but this is the best build I have ever seen and its all metal................. it has to weigh at least 20 lbs. awesome job.
blunc Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 those hand rail posts look like model ship (or train) parts, nice work no matter where they came from.
crazyrichard Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 awsome !!!!!!!!!!!!! are those the brass parts for ship builders ? funny thing is i was looking at parts like that in a big modelstore last week , loads and loads of cool brass stuff for sale that we can use on cars or garages
Randy D Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks Bill, Appreciate the kind words buddy, trying to get this one done by spring Hey Pete, glad you are checking in !!! Hi Mike, thank you Thank you Darren !! Pete, Did not cast the stanchions, Mike is correct , they are from my railroad detail parts box. Randy
vintagedragfan Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 if I'm not mistaken, I think Randy dabbles just a tiny bit in model railroading, lol, huh Randy?
Randy D Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 Hi Folks, Richard, sorry I forgot to thank you for the nice words Hey Bill, maybe just a little I will say the other stuff has been pushed aside with adding the GT40 project to the bench along with this one. update...
