I certainly like your plate chassis idea. I may have to use it as the basis for a future project.
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

Niels,

"Fast Fred" Lorenzen is one of my all-time favorite drivers. You nailed that Fairlane perfectly! Did you put a three-letter decal on the dash about where the glove box would be that says "WHM"?

I have a couple AMT kits and some repopped Lexan Fairlane bodies from Vintage that I want to build one like this, too. I even have the decals.

Nice job. Keep up the good work! I love the wire screen you put on the grille. Nice touch!

I like your website, too.
