Again I'll allow my team mate to speak for himself. Except I will say for a guy who is slowing down he can churn out a model or two. Nice looking car.

 :)  So, is this my swan song ?  Maybe so, maybe no.  Not sure.  I AM  suspending building until I get to my new home at the retirement community.  I am told they have a computer that the residents can use, with internet access.  I don't know  yet if I can do email there or not.  Will have to see.  I intend to stay active on STM, whether or not I can do any more pictures.

I have enjoyed my computer, but there have also been times when it was a headache.  If I can get out of the computer business, I am going to.  So we will have to see what is what.

I will have about 1/3 of the space there, that I have here.  So I need to spend my time downsizing, and packing. 

Also need to thank J2 again for helping me with the pictures.  Sorry they are not large enough for you to read the sponsors.  My email cuts them off when I send them to James.  AND SPECIAL THANKS to Greg Holland for the 2s.  He sent  enough for me to do another 222.

So, this is the '36 Ford 3W, and is box stock.  I did enlarge the wheel wells a bit, plus the right side and rear window openings,  and go with the Pontiac engine with 3 2 barrels.

Bill is the driver, and his hamburger stand is one sponsor, along with Annie's Ice Cream, which is " cream-IER."   I forgot to touch up my lettering of the R, but I will do that tomorrow.

A fun  build.  The red on the pie face wheels really set it off.  Hope y'all like it.

Very nice build John.

I like the modifications, paint work, and lettering. The 222 decals look great also.
Greg always does a great job with the decals.
I was able to make the pictures larger on my iPad.

 :) Thanks.  I did touch up the R in the sponsor, and also colored the lug nuts silver using a tooth pick.

Man John...that's a very sharp looking car. Is this one of the keepers? If not...I've got my hand raised on this one.

 :)  lol  Thanks, Gary.  Since it is hot off the press, and my latest,  maybe I  should hang on to it.

Probably,  I should not say it, but the '36 3W with the long trunk is kinda ugly, but I think this turned out pretty good.

 :)  Well, I don't have anything new to show, so thought I'd run this one by again.  Maybe I can find my late model and let it make another lap too.

 :)  Well, I don't have anything to post, so thought I'd try to bring back one J2 posted for me.
