• A 25 for 65 *PIC*
  • Then I'm not gonna' tell you how gorgeous it is till' it's complete. lol *NM*
  • Dave, you've inspired me to get my recent issue of the kit started, tho' I'm going to chop the metal front axle so it doesn't show as much, your other mods are quite good & inspiring, a simple but really convincing kit, thanks. *NM*
  • Absolutely love this. I can't wait to see it finished! *NM*
  • Re: A 25 for 65...NICE!, those new front tires make a big difference to my eye. The attention to detail really shows in the build so far. *NM*
  • That circle template looks familiar! We had one in our drafting dept. Still have a smaller version of the same thing in the work shop. *NM*
    • You can't have TOO MANY templates.😎...PIC
      • DI see the name Pickett. They along with Deitzgen, and Kueffel and Esser made slide rules that were used back in the '60's before pocket calculators. How quaint! *NM*
        • Somewhere in high school I had to learn to use a slide rule. Anybody else?? *NM*
          • Used it all through college and early engineering practice. Introduced to a $300 HP calculator in the very early '70's. *NM*
            • Yes, I saw my first calculator in '73, or 74. They were TI, I believe. *NM*
          • Yeah, still have in my old briefcase from when I was an engineering major. Switched to art and graphic design and still have beaucoup templates, rulers, light table, etc. *NM*
            • Learned the slide rule in high school in '73, then in '74 everyone with any money had those HP calculators. School was still debating wheter to allow their use at that time. When I started college in '75 almost everyone had some kind of calculator. *NM*
          • My Chem III (organic) teacher banned calculators until the last term
  • NOW you show us how good it looks... just sold my kit at the last swap meet :) *NM*
