You should have it done in time for the June MOM..Huh?!

Looks good Ken...I like the camper cap on it...That black would really cut the glare from the sun too..Nice job on yet another super fast and fun build by k357....I don't know where you get the energy to work on these so fast and they come out looking like 1:1 It sure does look like a 1:1 on that dirt road or where it is you took the pic....I've got to find this model its super...

Another great job Ken. One point about the photos - was the engine sitting on a stand , or was it part of the actual mountings? Like RC said, where do you find the time to turn them out so quickly? I`m into my forth week on the Western Star wrecker and have only just finished the chassis and running gear.

(the only fault that I can see with your camper is that the steering wheel is on the wrong side ) Hey Jim...I would have a hard time visiting & Driving in your home town! As you would probably here too!... Every time Id drop the tranny into drive, the windshield wipers woud go on or the turn signal would go on! "blink, blink,blink!!!".... How do you shift a floor shift or colum shift with your left hand? Being a Righty I cant do much with my left hand but type or hold the paper down when I'm drawing!.. Do you have your gas peddle and brake on the left foot and clutch on the right foot? Or is it like here the gas & brake on the right and clutch on the left?!...Ive always wondered why we drive on the right side of the road and your on the left? Did we want to brake away from England so bad when we left that we do everything backwards from our old mother land?!..  . ( I know, I know....  off topic again! ha,ha)... Okay Back on topic: Ken? where did you get that Super looking Chrome air-cleaner cover on the El Camino engine? is it after market or did it come with the kit? I think its to shinny to be kit chrome.. Is that a Turbo V-Six on the engine stand for the El Camineo?! Or am I not seeing the forth wire on each side?.... I only count three on each side that I can see.... Super engine stand, you scratch build it or is it after market too?!.. If scratched did you use sprue to build it?? Its a good looking stand!..That engine looks good on it... Thanks for sharing...You've got good ideas to copy! ..Hope you don't mind?! Copying from someone's ideas is the best form of flattery! Ha,ha..Thanks again for sharing ..."RC".. |
