You guys are gonna make me all misty and more bubble headed than usual with all that flattery. Really I just keep throwing tools and tricks at a pile until it becomes a car ...or becomes "better luck next time".

Truthfully the accolades go to all who rode along and encouraged me. With out the board I couldnt do these things. Each successive build is an evolution of some previous build or idea; be it mine, or pilfered in some form from one of our many talented members.

The final outcome is just another motorized illusion.

" ? ? ? ? ? " What can I say about this car?

GREAT WORK Bill. :woohoo: :thumbsup: :woohoo:

Bill,

That is one unreal build..:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Great lookin ride. all I can say is sweet..very sweet..

Now onto the hammer throwin.. I have tried that with a pile to make a custom. Throwed the hammer and nothin...HHmmm..
Maybe bigger is better.. 3 lber.. still nuthin..:confused:
I thought a little and grabbed the frame sledge.. gave it a toss..
Did you ever lose a car or even a pile while practicin this technique or am I doing it wrong.:freak: LOL

Keep buildin. I still thinkin on the next project...:woohoo:

WOW! Tremendous job!

'Tanks Win, Buster, and MCM. I'm just trying to keep up with the Jonesez.

Two er three pounds is about right Steve, but ya have divide it by 64 or 87 depending on the actual scale of the car. Once I fingered that out the builds go a lot smoother!

Do I have casualties? Yesiree! ...But I gots a secret...I start with casualties and dont worry about butchering the already dead. :thumbsup:

I try to recycle everything that comes my way. A chassis with a shoe bad hanger or torn out front mount hole makes people go, "awwwww Bubkus!!"...I see tube frame hot rods and dragsters and say, "goody goody, oh by-o-boy!"

I have a big freezer bag full of chassis Zombies. You know the ones!...those gruesomely Harry High Schooled chassis that always sneak in with an e-bay junk wad. I save them for the bitter end when the t-jet originals go the way of the dodo. The good tubs are marked for electrical change overs and the "extra crispies" are used as a build buck for R&D. I slice and dice'em to fit the need of the moment. Some find permanent employment in the mock up portion of my regularly scheduled programming.

If I need a drop axle, side shaved, bob tailed, chassis with a partial or full front pan delete... they're already in the buck box....as are the matching tail beveled and rail shaved gear plates.... :thumbsup:

This allows me to make all my cutting board mistakes and "D'Oh's!" with few worries. The bucks gave their up their lives many years ago...but not their souls! ;)

Bill, that is one of the sweetest slot cars I've ever seen!
