Well, my still unfinished Fools project went in the box to be moved. I had been making good progress on all the front end pieces. LOTS of hand carved aluminum parts. The steering poses and actuates the pivot arm. The steering wheel with real wood handles poses separately. I finally got the paneling done. Brushed aluminum with rivets punched from ducting tape. I still have a few bolt heads to add and some seat belts to make then it's time finish up the mill and body. Moving sucks! Flounder  Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki |

Excellent craftsmanship Scott, nothing short of incredible!!! Yes, moving sucks, but hopefully you'll get back to normal soon. Good luck with everything.

That's just sick. Best you put it away before the rest of us are forced to just give up the hobby completely... Good luck with the move. I hate moving, I've now lived in the same spot for 21 years, longest I've ever lived in any one place.

Sweet build!
I moved out here 4 years ago and told the wife this was the last move FOREVER!! We sold a boatload of stuff and still had to rent a U-Haul truck! What a waste of money that was. I told her to get rid of everything and just keep the clothes, bot noooooooooooo. The truck cost me $1200 and the gas was another $300!
My neighbor just got his escrow closed on his house and now he is using my garage as storage. No biggie since he is a great mechanic who has helped me keep my cars on the road and passing smog. Great thing is his son and daughter REFUSE to help him at all! I told him when he moves to tell these 20 year olds to hit the street and see how tough life really is. Hell, I moved from my parents when I was 22 and still in college. Now I am about to sound like my Pops: "What the hell is wrong with this generation?" Hahaha!!
Seriously, really good build. I wish my eyes were good enough to see that well! I hope to see this one done!
take care,
