I finished the new shop sign the other day.



The C cab is powered by what the OWNER said he wanted in there. I can only suggest. The bread and butter jobs get knocked out in a couple days. The cool stuff takes time.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I do my best to make each part just a little nicer than the last one.

I know a lot of guys that are looking for scaled down trucks for there kids, even if it's just the body.

I am nowhere near as capable as just your little finger but when I get the space and extra funds to play with I'll be building my daughter a mini version of my crew cab. Fist electric powered then a lawn mower engine then probably the extra Sportster engine I have with a junk trans. haha.

A couple people have already asked when I'm building the rest of it. I think 1/4 scale go cart body would be pretty easy. Even easier if I go through the trouble to make a fiberglass mold. HioSilver has got me really thinking about a 3/4 scale dent. Thanks, man. That's just what I need right now is another project.

Make the mold in a crew cab version and I'll buy one. Would save me from making my own.

Or be generous and send my daughter one of each scale size 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 so she can gradually step her way up, I'll even deal with building the multiple chassis and drive systems. haha

A little paint and graphics on the half scale door.

I still have to refine it a little, but it's shaping up.

I'm really diggin' the 3/4 scale dent idea. That's an awesome suggestion. Keep up the good work Alan.
