Mooneyzs Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Randy D..... At first I Was going to say you need to stop showing pictures of the real 1:1 parts until I saw your finger in the pic. 2nd I had to pick my chin up off the floor with the amazing detail you have done with the pedal assembly. You Know I was really starting to think I was crazy with some of the detail I Am trying to accomplish on my funny car. Then I see what you are doing on a smaller scale vehicle and have realized that I think that Thin Air in Colorado has gotten to you.... or maybe it's what is floating around in the air there.... :D LMAO In all honesty you know how much I respect you as a builder and I have really enjoyed getting to hang out at the shows with you. I love your work. Lookong forward to your next update.
10thumbs Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 The good guys either have big coins at their disposal, or they like showing the real thing and blow up their fingers! Gotta love it. These guys are good! Michael
pharr7226 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Randy, That beautiful pedal assembly is a masterpiece and work of art ALL by itself, there simply not a single word of praise to say about this superb work.....so....I will use several....magnificent,wonderful,supreme,fantastic,incredible,superb, masterpiece....yes I already used the last two words previusly....but this work deserve it..many times!!!!! Thank you for another tour of force on the art of miniature metal fabrication, I belived that your other superb work, the rod tow truck could not have a challenger in intricate detail,concept,presentation and fabrication....ohhhhh...I was sooooooooo mistaken!!!!! X2
Bumblebi Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 That pedal assembly might just be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.. Unbelievable work and craftmanship Randy!
DeeCee Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 That is the most amazing piece of scratch building i have seen i think, just mind blowing!!
GoatGuy Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Randy - thanks for sharing your amazing work here. Wow. I saw Tim's note about your GT40 build and just went through it. My breakfast is now a cold pile of sludge. Your knowledge and experience in other scale hobbies really add to the realism of this build and help us realize what other materials are out there to be used. And the reference shots you have I'm sure are a huge help. I was able to get lots of shots of Bruce Larson's funny cars and he endured all my questions. I look forward to more of this project.
Petetrucker07 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Man, Randy. You are out of control. That pedal assembly is crazy. Your gonna wear out the magnifying glass you keep doing stuff like that. Absolutely amazing, the detail can't be properly described. Nice, very nice. Lookin forward to the next update.
crazyrichard Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 the pedalbox uhhhmmm right just thinking what to reply ..... cant find the words other then > hero
Twokidsnosleep Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 My build has stalled, think we need name updates from the master here:)
Sean W Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Wow! Now that is some dedication to one's craft and hobby! That is pretty amazing.

Dave Ambrose Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Randy, this is a tour de force of my favorite car. Thank you so much for sharing your progress.
Brizio Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Randy, on the GSL coverage on Model Car Builder Magazine there is a picture of your model!
Codi Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Randy, if you're still out there.......and hopefully all is well, any update to this phenomenal build in the near term? It's the craziest build I've seen on the forum yet and can't wait to see what you do next. Cheers, Tim
Codi Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Has anybody seen or heard from Randy D. lately? Hopefully he's doing okay and we'll see more from him soon. Cheers, Tim
Art Laski Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Randy and I exchanged PMs in the last couple of weeks. He's fine, he's just been busy with some projects around the house. Hopefully he'll be back soon!
Codi Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Hey Art, thanks for the note on Randy.....let him know that winter is coming and he needs to find his way back to his bench now. Tell him I asked nicely too. Cheers
Randy D Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Hi Folks, I would to thank all who posted since the last update. Thank you Tim for your concern, I need to pay more attention!! Have been remodeling the house (doing most of the work myself ) so bench time has been limited. the past few months. Going to DSC in April so I really need to make some progress or Danno will be on me! Moving on to the steering wheel and column..... Ref. pic from the parts catalogue Start with a pic of parts I made and a steering wheel from 'Detail Master'. I did not use the wheel in the end but it is a nice piece..... Making up the little knuckle... more...
afx Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Glad to see you back at this Randy, amazing work as always.
Randy D Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 here is the wheel I made using a rubber o-ring The column just deadends in the steering rack but I did want the wheel to be able to turn. Thanks for looking in!!! Randy
Crazy Ed Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Randy, I've No Idea how you're able to do what you do with Metal. Good to see you're back in the Saddle.
