Here's my first three for 09. My first Limited and two RA cars. Still much work to do on these. One has already broken once, and another has a butt load of problems. I may scrap it and start over. Mike $

Yeah... I noticed that.
Those problems I was talkin' about... now you know.
Although I don't think it had nothing to do with your drill press, wasn't holdin' my mouth right. When facing west, after 8:00 pm, I have to move my tongue to the left. See, your shop is so bright I didn't realize it had gotten so late.
That car I cut in your shop, Abby taped it back together and took it to her room.I think Ken and Barbie are enjoying it now. The crooked axles don't seem to bother them.

Very nice looking cars CougarDog
If you have to scrap them, they would look great in the Show Car Class in RA's!

Thanks Doug, How I wish that were true. I guess if you waste enough wood your are bound to get lucky once in a while. For some reason, I'm drawn to the curvy designs. Also, I can't paint so I try to get a little creative with the body. You guys set the bar kinda high. It is very difficult to be unique. I try hard not to copy other guys stuff. Thats one of the reasons I want to redo the bottom car, cause the front looks a little to much like Lee's cars. Don't want to minimize his efforts by mimicking his style. And no Doug, I Did not make the cutting board. A friend of ours made that for my wife about 15 years ago. She had written a resume' for him or something along those lines. Talk about a boy who knows his way around a wood shop, this man can do some serious whittlin'. Holy crap, I just got an idea. gotta go. See ya bye. $

Hey Cougar... Don't fret about your car lookin' like something I would make. That's a cool lookin' set of wheels. I like the way it's puckered in the middle. The only thing I thought of when I first saw it, was, "How's he gonna ship that thing?" I have problems enough with my own cars, being thin and curvacious, but they're flat, whereas yours is really skinny and humpback! Also, how are you planning on getting enough weight back into it?

Hey Lee, I'll be using a tungsten round and body filler to build a canopy. Very similar to the Green Hornet that I raced last year.
