Nice looking flathead; looking forward to seeing what you come up with for a cab.

I've shown some progess pics on this one in past months. Finally got it finished a couple of weeks ago.

Very Nice! Paint it black with green wheels! my 2cents

 

WOW! you guys all do incredible work- I don't know how you can hand fabricate such tiny parts!

 

I always see great work. Im always impressed.
Do you guys ever sell your models?

i got to ask,where do you get big scale 1/8 models?

 

NICE work. This thread picks up more in the winter. Look for it every Sunday Great stuff

 

mostly ebay

 

Sigh- I hate it when there are two seperate threads started for Model Car Sundays. Check first, guys, before starting a thread.

And if you do start a thread, MODEL and CAR should be seperated in the title. Makes the search function for "model car sunday" a little pointless.

 

Fabulous skill as usual, Alyn.

 

Thanks, Don

I see a lot of cool stuff on here. Glad I have something to contribute.

 

Well said, gets up my nose too
Cheers
