So what do you guys think about my find ?

Just scroll down a bit.

Needs new carbs..... build from there. Nice shiny set of carbs would really dress up that engine compartment, don't ya think?

Wow!!! What a cool model car!!!

It would take me six months just to knock out a pair of those Channel Locks.

I am really amazed by the miniatures that run.

Bruce, can you get me a pair of needles and nozzles that will fit

Yes we can. Just hope the needles don't require any additional profiling. If they do, don't do it over the carpet.

I'd also venrure a guess that 20wt might be a smidge heavy for the dampers.

Ehh...it'll buff out...

How cool is that?

Here is another barn find for you, but this one is in a little rougher shape.

That's gonna need new floors I bet. Both models were done by the same person?

Edit: No, I guess not. I got thrown off by the Ebay seller's "other items" and made a bad connection with the "career in tooth technology" of the other artist. Pretty cool!

Ron, i don't think so, the one i got is made by a German, former dentist.

Incredible work! I always wished I had the surgeon-like skill and patience to do that in such a small scale. I certianly don't which is why I work on full-size cars!! Kudo's to you and your skills!
