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

[five&dime]

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

[Bruce Palmer]

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.

[ChrisZ]

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

[Bruce Palmer]

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!
