Eventually I want to try some full openers, and maybe drop on down into 1:144 stuff..These turned out nice for starters.

I think this engine was from an JL T-Bucket kit, and then I made the header stacks from paper clips

Thanks Bill..It was from a RC NHRA 1:44 scale Prostock Firebird (5 pack)..I won 7 packs for $2.99 on Ebay(ate the $7 S&H..It's a crime) some of the castings are duplicates so I have a lot of parts to use for the 1:87 stuff.

Great stuff Jeff. Like the guys said, that's to small for me to even see, mush less build! Great work as always.

Looking good Jeff! Where did the rear wheels for that '55 come from?

Looking good Jeff! Where did the rear wheels for that '55 come from?

They're the rear tires from a ThunderJet slotcar, and then a wheel donation from a Fresh Cherry Pinto Wagon, and some 1/4" aluminum tubing to extend the rim width...I'm doing a FC Bobcat ProStock next, and then maybe a stretched Escort after, I'd like to turn the Malibu International Tomboy Coronet into a wagon too...Oh and a repaint and HotRod up that GTO from MI.

It Just Never Ends. Does it?
