Hot dang!!! Randy's back and more than wanting to see this build continue, I'm glad to see you're OK and have not dropped off the edge of the earth.

The epic build continues with a new chapter.

Good to see you back to this piece of Art. :) I think I needed that year to calm and get my heartbeat back to normal after the incredible things I've seen here!

I know...humbling, right Mark?! I see this and I think "I have a LOT to learn yet!" The shaping of complex parts thing I get. It's the soldering that throws a monkey wrench in the whole thing for me. Amazing.

Hi Folks,

Brad, Thank you my friend :)

Thanks Clay

Thank you Rob!

Thanks Mike, Good to be back!

Thank you Greg!!

Ryan, Thank you!

Thanks Mark!

Chris, Thank you, with your skills you would be fine with the metal!

Hello Niko!! Thank you for the kind words, I will be getting back on the drag car also!

Hi David, thank you and I need to find and check your progress :)

update...

I have had a change in thinking as work resumed on this one. Going to go with a hot rod look as opposed to the rat rod that inspired me in the first place. I have been checking out reference pics of 1948 Diamond T trucks and decided to change.

Still going to keep the no front fender look and keep it low to the ground, just better looking paint :D :D

Some ref pics....

Top notch work! I'm in agreence with everyone else, excellent craftsmanship. I would love to be able to work with metal and shape it every which way but then to do it at such a small scale is even more impressive. Can't wait to see it all finished
