Always a pleasure to see what you're up to. Seems like I haven't had the opportunity lately.
Thanks, Gary

Spectacular work Cliff. Is it die-cast metal? If so, that makes your work even more impressive. I keep looking and can't figure out where the extra chrome on the front translated into the hood and trim. Did you section it somehow?

Looks good -- and the hi-po Stude engine in a Stude is a nice touch, too.

That looks great! I've always liked some of the "odd ball" pickups like the Stude's, Hudson's they seemed to have a bit more flair than what the big three was putting out at the same time! Art Deco anything is just darn cool anyway!
