Hi Dave and welcome. Now that is impressive!! Could you do a little breakdown on the construction of the car, what was machined and out of what kind of material, how the frame was constructed etc., you get the idea.
Thanks for posting,

thanks for the welcome guys. as far as construction i'll hit the major components.
*the chassis is soldered brass tubing.
*the engine long block was mastered in renshape and cast in resin . most of the accessoies are
mostly machined aluminum (i.e. fuel pumps, belt guard, pulleys, etc.)
*the rear is a combo of renshape and aluminum
*the trans is aluminum and driveshaft tube
*the wheels are machined aluminum
*the tires are machined from solid neoprene
*tin work and seat are aluminum sheet
*body is extensivly reworked popular kit unit
here are some construction photos. if you have any specs you'd like answered, please don't hesitate to ask.

Very impressive. Looks just like some of the cars that will be at Famoso this March! I like the blend of "new" and "old."

Dave, welcome to the group. You bring some great modeling skills to this group of modelers. As you have probably already noticed, we have members with all level of modeling skills in all of the various model categories. That's what makes this group unique in it's own right. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your builds and the sharing of your ideas and talents. Isn't that what a group like this is all about.
Again welcome and enjoy.

thanks for the welcome guys. i've been stumbling around the site and i must say, there is some extraordinary talent here. i look forward to sharing what ever i can. there aren't any secrets or voodoo in my builds.

as far as build pics go,....i have a million of 'em (i just love sayin' that). is there any particular area or part of the build you'd like to see ? or just some random images?

again, thanks for the warm welcome.
