Man Pat....hated to hear about the turn four thing...but as we know...that can happen in Race'in. I really like these modifieds and you are doing a killer job of one in scale. The 1/1 you built makes me want to get into the shop and build one. I hope you can get the build bug back soon. You're a very good builder and it's certainly a real TREAT to watch as you build.

thanks,i'llbe giving it a shot again soon.as for the 1;1 cars we built 4.2 with our own chassis,1 lefthander,1 harris.We also built 1 late model,1 pro truck,1 legend car.miss those days like crazy!

[Gary Davis]

Dang Pat...you folks were very busy! I hope this wasn't in one season. I think that would be a little taxing... Looking forward to the upcoming WIP...

[pdaly28]

Great fab work! It helps to have worked on the real deal and involved in racing it too.

[Gary Davis]

ALL right then Pat... Good to see you start on this puppy. What chassis are you starting with? The front clip looks like a Nascar front end.
