      Yeah, go ahead and answer this one. I'd love to see how that one comes out.

      Hi Guys,

      Progress has slowed dramatically on the XKE as I'm now also doing a High/Low tech Hiboy, which I'm using to try out some new (to me) scratchbuilding techniques. I wanted to see if I could build two entirely different 1/8th models at once and it's not easy! It helps in some ways because I can concentrate on resin Briggs Cunnigham XKE casting Briggs Cunnigham XKE in bulk eg. I've just started doing the Hilborn Flathead injectors and Cunningham Jag seats together. On the plus side I've just finished roughing out the one-off Cunningham steering wheel...there should be a piccie here:

      Not got much done on it recently, but i'll try to get more pics on my Photobucket gallery over the next few weeks. There are some seat build pics at the start of the gallery. So far I've scratched some suspension parts and the seats, cut up and modded the inner rear luggage area and made the fuel tank and filler pipe.

      Oh Wow. That was great. I never expected that it was a model until the last minute. That's also a great color for a vette.
