    I just saw this page linked off of Jalopnik.

    This guy created a working miniature model of a triangular, marine diesel. His workmanship is amazing, and while it is not directly a traditional rodding sort of thing, I ***ume you guys and gals will be impressed nonetheless. Plus, maybe it'll give you some ideas for engine detailing.

    Thanks for the link. To get this back to traditional hotrod subjectwise, go to that site and find Augie Hiscano. He built some of the most amazing minitures I've ever seen. One was a 1/25th scale '32 highboy, black with red interior. He built every piece except the body, out of metal. It even has metal brake lines on the ch***is. Another was a '33 red coupe with a hemi. They both looked as though they ran and drove. He made a Model A engine block that was only 5/8 of an inch long! I talked to him at several shows, unfortunatly he died last year. Sorry, I'm not trying to highjack, I just am so impressed by these guys ability and patience.
