    Talk about building from the ground up, this guy is amazing producing most of the components from scratch, only wish this gentleman would have did the same with a stepdown!

    Thank you for sharing Ray!
    Seeing the pictures of how he built it looks fairly simple but it would be lengthy and time consuming.

    Watch out for that 18-wheeler!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)) Wonder if he's ever been stopped by a confused statie?? Just tell him the car got left out in the rain and shrunk!! Hey, BentMetal - maybe you can make a 3/4 size Hudson.

    Snailslayer-

    You are probably right. I was thinking how cool it would be to do a step-down like that. Gotta talk to bentmetal . . .

    Russell, you and BentMetal between you could build a 3/4 size step-down - power it with a 202 engine. 3/4's would be just the right size - sitting by itself everybody would know that it was somehow different, but might not know what until you put it beside a regular size one.
    Cotton Owens, back in the 70's built a 3/4 size Dodge race car - ran like a scared rabbit and out ran everything on the track. Everybody agreed there was something different but until they put the templates on it couldn't figure out what it was. As Richard Petty said "you could of run that thing thru the templates at 180 and not touched them". LOL
