Carrera 41 willys

Just got done drivin' the 41 ... need to play with the weight a little ... but already you can tell it's gonna be a blast.
The biggest problem I see is after drivin' this one ... ain't no way you wanna go back to drive the others.
So I started on the second one ... Thanks Jon

A pair of Mercs

Back in 2007 our first winter series we had a car raffle as part of our awards nite.
As part of the raffle I asked Phil (Retro Resins) to build a couple of cars & nobody other than the two of us new what they were.
Long story short ... I was lucky enough to wind up with one of the most besutiful 49 Mercs that ever had a guild flag under it. Thanks Again Phil.

Since that time I have picked up several of Phil's Retro Resin bodies but have never built one.
So this morning at some un-godly hour as I sat at the kitchen table with my first pot of coffee It called me. So I went downstairs & grabbed a body to have coffee with. The next thing I knew I was cutting up a chassis.
The late morning & afternoon hours where spent with some errands & stuff.
Once all of that was out of the way ... I headed downstairs to finish my new ride. And even though it's not totally done it is a driver. I just spent the last 1/2 hour drivin' it around the track.





It still needs some finish work, paint & interior ... but for now ... I think I'm just gonna enjoy drivin' it for awhile.
Hats off to Phil ... with out Retro Resins ... there's some pretty cool cars that none of us would ever get to enjoy.

Thanks for looking ... J Y D
