Vintage Car
Just finished doing some restoration work on a car I made some years ago from plans in a English woodworking magazine .It was Quite a challenge & took me roughly 1 Year on & off to finish & thought I would share it with you
Cheers Peter

Very nice work Peter.
Do you happen to know the make and model?
I'd be interested to know the size/scale, too.
It's a little hard to tell from the pics.
(This could well have been placed in the 'Scale Modelling' section, imho.)... Steve

Not to worry, I was just wondering if it was a specific make & model. Couldn't recognise it. Originally Posted by pawoods

Overall, a great looking model, and one to be proud of.... Steve

Right, now that you've mentioned it, Pic3 shows the 'V' shape. Well done. Originally Posted by pawoods

G'Day Peter,
That's one fine looking model old timer you've restored......you have been hiding your light under a bushel....
It certainly has good detail and presents, top job.
Thanks for a good array of photos..
Cheers, crowie
PS - Well done Steve on a good bunch of question and Peter, thanks for the extra info.....

Thanks Pete, but I had an ulterior motive - I believe they call it intellectual theft. Originally Posted by crowie

I love the idea of 'V' belts for tyres.
