;D I'm just finishing up the pullys and belts on the front of the Predators motor and couldn't resist not showing you this. I added on the headers and intake just for the photo.  |

Next week at this time I'll be home from the NNL East. Well at this time, I still need another 40 or 50 hours to get the Predator finished. Here's where I sit now. Engine is installed but I still need to add in the distributor, wires and everything from the tunnel ram up.  Trunk area is all finished, starting the interior.  The entire rear end is in.  Thanks to Dale Horner for cranking out the chrome plating so fast.  I'm taking Tuesday and Wednesday off work just to try to get it finished. Later guys! |

Really shaping into another amazing build Gary, really glad to see you overcame the rear-end. Not that I had any doubts....next time I meet you at the game I am going to just sit and pick your brain. You really come up with some outstanding and unique builds.

Still plan on getting my season tickets this year so I'm sure to see you at the WVU games. |

Really wish I could make the trip, I have to work all weekend. Tried to take Vacation at the last minute and someone already has Sat. so no luck.
I am sure I will make a few games this year. If I lived closer I would get season tickets, but it's almost like a trip to the races for me to come to Morgantown.

The NNL East is over. It was a great show as usual but, ...... no hardware. Lots of good looking models there and it could have went anyway. Just not my year.
Look, I even changed my avitar from my green bug.
The good news: Look for an upcoming feature in Model Cars Magazine. Photos were taken at the NNL for this.
Even Better news: After 16 years, the Pro Street 300ZX is back on the workbench and will be completed by NNL East 2011. I'll get a thread started on this build this weekend to get everyone who's interested up to speed.
Work has also restarted on my "Wicked" Allison powered Mercedes project. I'll get that thread going this weekend also.
It's going to be a fun modeling year. I'm in my modeling zone and I hope I don't lose it. Some members of the board, my fellow modelers, have stated that I've gone over the modeling edge and have even gone as far as suggesting I check myself into the Henry Ford Clinic for observation. Thanks guys.

No hardware?!?!?! Wow, there must have been some "Perfect" models there!
Maybe you could make time and hit NNL Southern Nationals in Atlanta so we could see it in person. I think I learn more about model building by seeing other's work in person than any other method.

I just picked up the February SA yesterday and saw the pictures. Congrats Gary. It must be amazing to see your hard work shown off like that. Are you going to send out autographed copies to everyone? Did you ever imagine that one day, you would be the centerfold in a magazine?

Did you ever imagine that one day, you would be the centerfold in a magazine? Rob When I tell people, "I model", I usually get very strange looks. Can't wait to see the looks I get when I tell them; "I model and I'm the centerfold". Oh yeah! ;D |
