This is a special one that Mr. Frank had me do in remembrance of his close friend Bear...[/quote/
WOW! That is neat!! Bear loved orange; everything he had was orange.
Noose, you did a great job. One of these day I'll have to get one of your works of art on a body cause I can't win one.

Cheers,
Jerry

By any chance would that fit a Jail Door chassis?

I AM NOT WORTHY!!!Here's Duffy's new McLaren.
Wow... that's nice! By any chance would that fit a Jail Door chassis?
It'll fit MINE perfectly, s'what I built the little puppy for!!It could but not the one you have now. You would have to make a narrower, shorter one.
Ya know - I keep intending to tool up to do my own painting. I really do. I just - well, keep making WISER investments...
Thaaaanks, Nooooose!

Hi Duffy,... Ya know--I keep intending to tool up to do my own painting. I really do. I just--well, keep making WISER investments...
"A mans got to know his limitations". Mine is painting like the pros. I try to paint but... I have more fun doing the mechanical stuff and letting the true artists like Noose do the crowning touch, the body.
Duffy, you do deserve it. You had the balls to make a chassis to fit the width of the body, not the max width of "the rules". You receive "10 bonus points" to use in any future "Lost Cause" endeavorsI AM NOT WORTHY!!!

Beautiful work, Noose

It made me wonder how this title came up.

I'm racing the best here at BP but Father time is much better then all of us united.
Not a snob in this hobby, after all it will be gone, if we keep on going like we do, and I have nothing to prove so I keep on posting because I have nothing to gain.
It's our duty to remember the past so we can have a future.

Nesta, the title came about because I couldn't remember how long it had been since I painted bodies, etc., since I got back into it just about four years ago.

Soo... it was probably close to 30 years before I painted again.

By coincidence, there is a collector I know in Denver named Mathews who has a large collection of McLarens. Nice guy, got rich making automated car washes. Anyway, he is selling the first customer car version of this McLaren which raced in Gold with a white stripe.
At the time Steve Burkey was working for him, Steve was the guiding light of Denver area racing during the "dark ages" by keeping a small club running and eventually established the local clubs.
It amused him to see our collections. And.. it was fun to be all geeky with the guy about colors and such. But his collection of real cars is bigger than most peoples slot car collections.
