Very impressive. Looks like that is actually a Chinese fan site. Googling around I found this:

which I think is the fellow's actual homepage.

The actual of being able to thread those tiny sparkplugs into the head....and I wish he hadn't painted it and covered up all that craftsmanship.

[Phil Martin]

Ah to have that much patience!!!!!!

[Plymouthy Adams]

the man has no wife or children..

[pflaming]

May not have a wife and children, but he is MARRIED!! I wonder how fast it would go at Bonneville?

A farmer / blacksmith in Western Kansas built a Model D John Deere bolt perfect at half scale. That amazed me but this!!! A wealthy rancher from Montana saw the tractor and wanted to buy it. The builder said he didn't have enough money. The rancher challenged the farmer to try him... he had enough money and bought the tractor. Never say never!!!

Tom

You are very welcome, and a belated thanks to Tod, for the homesite:o

[Normspeed]

Fantastic work. Makes me ashamed that I can't even get around to fixing my rusty rocker panels:D

[dezeldoc]

I'll bet he can get almost as much for that as the real deal!! me i would have lasted about 2 days on it and on the shelf it would go!

Folks,

I stand humbled in my meager attempts at scale modeling. The bar has been raised.

I hadn't planned on doing much more detail than than implying the frame but my mind was challenged to see how far I could go with a simple medium such as unpainted plywood! The plans Young Ed sent to me are almost as detailed as I need to make anything within my capacity, and what I'm missing could be found in an afternoon with a tape measure and a notepad. Thanks again, Ed.

My Maternal Grandfather (Tom Knox) was GM at the Chrysler dealership in Grants Pass, Oregon, 'back in the day' and he told me that the bed of a pickup was an option during the 30's-40's because pickups were so utilitarian back then that many of the people who bought them might have found more use for a hay baler or something like that. Young Ed's plans don't indicate a bed on a "Job Rated" '46 Dodge truck so perhaps the truest scale would be without one. I don't know anything right now because my mind is still reeling from watching those pictures.

Unbelieveable. How can anyone do that? It is truly amazing.

Randy the trucks came a few different ways back then. You could get a cowl and chassis, a cab and chassis, or a full pickup. If you need some measurements of the bed on my truck I could supply them.

I would have loved to see it left in brass and copper finish!

Thanks for posting this Frankie-It's unlikely I would have discovered this site. I envy the gentleman and his skill and patience.The finished product - invaluable

[Frank Elder]

You are welcome, it blew me down, never would have imagined it possible.

Seems the mans wife is VERY involved.
