I seem to have lost the motivation. The main trouble is that I've run out of cars that inspire me to start carving. The two meetings that I used to race at are now allowing silicone tyres and I refuse to race on any track that uses them - they ruin the surface for anything else. This means that I don't even have that reason to make any new cars.

The house is almost done. In a couple of weeks, I'll be getting the materials for the main bathroom (which has no floor right now - fortunately, we have an en-suite in our bedroom Cool) That's the last major job. A few bits of final fix to do but the house has been so comfortable this winter that, once again, I have lacked the motivation to get on with it. Might be the fact that my 78th birthday is coming up or maybe I'm just getting lazy.


Love the Corvette of course.

Thats a shame re your local track Gordon, people love spoiling a good thing.
You'll just have to take on commissions so we can all still watch your wonderful builds. Thumbup

A nervous moment was gluing the screen to the body.
 I used a lot of superglue to make it sit firm, as it also serves as a crash bar. 
I am sure many of you know what harm superglue can do to paint and screens. Angry  
The tape does not hold anything, it is there to prevent getting glue on the fingers. Worked OK!

To make a long story short: Then it all came together! Sun









Thanks for looking!
Cheers Carver
The car turned out great Carver Cool

Thanks Tony, I think I have become addicted. 
Nothing feels right, if I don’t have a work in progress lying around…
I have already started a new. Sun
