Very cool fab work!

[Gary Davis]

Tom...your fab work is GREAT bud!!! I'm not a big fan of those cars but.... your build technique and attention to detail is outstanding. Keeps me coming back for the next update. Great stuff...

[Tom Birky]

After a long lay off, working on my dirt late model again. Custom Dirtcars economy quick change replacing the nascar trailing arms. Also their fuel cell, coilover shocks and MD3 style nose. Trying to dial in the roof, getting close. WFC rear wing from Ron Coon Resins. It'll have Ron Coon wheels and wide 5 hubs too. Thx for looking.  Tb

I must have missed this completely. 

Three years and one day later this one continues. 

Tom, I admire your willingness, even 3 years back, to create a simple model.  Now, for me, after 14 years back in the hobby, and at least 100 models, and 81 years old, I guess I have done my time.  I no longer even look at the step by step construction topics, and just look for the finished products. 

I still admire those who do those builds, and understand those who love to follow along, but most of us tend to get caught up in it all trying to match, or keep up. 

I still piddle along, but also realize that they are just another one on the shelf.

Am looking  forward to your finished model.  Its going to be a knock out.

Tom..
Coming along very nicely....

See you chnaged photo imaging sites, or did you "fire" Tom Kirby on flckr? 

[TarheelRick]

Some how I missed this one also.  Sure glad you wiped off the cobwebs and brought it back to the bench.  I am getting more interested in this style of racer and really enjoy watching your build come together.

[David Bogard]

Nice work Tom. I am not a fan of these current "late models" at all but as you know, I have knocked a few together just for kicks. They are fiddly and you are working them out really well!

[Brian Conn]

....I really like how you transformed the NASCAR chassis into a dirt late model chassis with the scratch built spindles and after market goodies in the rear.....like a wine it gets finer with time

[Bob P.]

Looking really good Tom. I can't wait to see this one finished.

Very interesting. I just learned a couple of things. Thank you Tom.

Man Tom...this is really coming along and looking GREAT. Again...GREAT fab work..

[Tom Birky]

So I was unhappy with a couple of things and started cutting and gluing. This is where Im at so far. Inaccurate as all get out, but I'm  having fun building a cup car, then cutting out everything thats not dirtcar. It's a little crooked and wonky but I have some good ideas when I start another one.

[David Bogard]

I don't know Tom. . . get a body on that thing and cover it up! However, it IS maybe the best Zamboni Machine I've seen scratch-built! (Tom and I are good friends folks so this little ribbing is all in good fun)

[Tom Birky]

I'm close to having it covered. I was thinking about opening the hood, and then one thing lead to another... ...
Zamboni!!!  Thanks. I'm  flattered!

You take measurements ? Oh, my !

I remember someone's comment one time ---  " You open the boxes ?"

Great job, Tom.  Keep churning.
