A new project kinda being built in the back ground of everything else, a simple, Parma Models 1/10th scale 426 Hemi, thats Super charged to be a model of the engine Don Garlits first used when the 426 came out for top fuel drag racing.....
This model, was a gift, and I don't even know who from, so if that person is reading this, THANK YOU....I had 2 of these and lost both when my homeplace burned to the ground. I know and have excepted that I'd never find replacements, this is a true Christmas gift, as its not something I sat out to find and yet, one just shows up on my door step, no return address, no note BUT a tag inside the small box that said "Merry Christmas, John" thats it!
Have no idea who sent it, but if your reading this, THANK YOU!
And just to show the shear size of this Hemi, that blue one is one of MY CASTINGS of a small block Mopar a 318, 340 or could be a 360....STILL in 1/25th they aren't that small really, BUT this blown 425 Hemi at 1/10th scale is HUGE! AND its detailed, VERY nicely! Been slowly adding parts as I'm able, as this engine will be displayed with a "Engine Display" I have planned to build as engine building anddetailing are what I enjoy most of all!
