    Very nice......don't let my kids see that TV set, I'm already having trouble with "we NEED a big, widescreen Plasma dad"......

    There is a guy over here making T and A roadsters in aluminium (we spell, and pronounce, it with an extra i here).

    Real nice work......not cheap..... as you would expect.

    He also makes steel 27 bodies, as does another guy up North.

    When I finally accept that I can't find an original rear section, but can't bring myself to go tuperware, I will just have to find the dollars......I have had two cowls and a set of doors and been looking for a rear section for about ten years.

    thanks everyone
    i thought you guys might get a kick out of this....
    im just waiting for the jalopy behind it to leave (dawg on snow!!) so i can start on another full size car
    i dont really have room right now so i have to build-um small! :D

    this will probably end up as a wall hanging all lettered up with wheels and whatnot...once i find some suitable wheels

    thanks
    Zach

    How come every time I bang on aluminum all I do is put dents in it, even when I have a buck. OH ya, very cool work Zach very cool.--TV

    Nice work, man!

    Guys - Zach bangs that out without a buck; the nose on the car in the background is completely hand hammered free-form metalwork.

    I'm kinda partial to the background vehicle, personally...

    Nice work! What's going in it for a motor?

    Is that the project you are going to run mechanical brakes on?
