Recommended Posts

Andrew, I don't know how I missed this for so long. Been waiting with bated breath to look at the finals. Very awesome build and a great tribute to the guy that made the kit so many years ago.  You should definitely be proud of this one. Let me also say that I enjoy the history you provide about these cars. I love motor racing history no matter what the subject matter is.

Thanks MJ - i have the good fortune of living in Miami - so for a number of years i could - for about 30 bucks - show up at the Cavallino track event in palm beach gardens on an early friday morning and just wander thru the paddock - no crowds - and trip over old race cars - like this one - tougher to do now - gotta know somebody - but we still have the great concours and in Florida and random vintage events at the tracks throughout the state - not to mention Rev’s and the Brumos Collection !  Its the ONLY thing that i still like about this nutty state …

It's great that you get to see such wonderful things in person. I'm very jealous. Nothing like that around here to look at except livestock at the rodeo in the spring which I avoid like the plague. They built our NFL stadium with the rodeo in mind more than actual NFL football. The retractable roof is so small and high it's not really worth opening. You don't need a retractable roof for the rodeo. I too live in a nutty state.

I'm slow, but I catch on. I somehow missed the end of this show! You did a ton of fixing, on this thing. It was well worth it! Time for a nice Sunday drive! Beautiful work, Andy! Would you allow me to share your photos in a Rush group?
