My last big job has a place of honor at the International Car Show at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC if anyone is heading to the city you can check it out. It will be on display through Sunday the 3rd. I built the car body and molds or patterns for the fenders, hood, seats and many other parts. Enjoy.

Since that first pic you sent me long ago, I've been longing to see more. It ended up beautiful and fantastic. Many of us grew up having read that book, or listening to the 45 record and following along in the picture book. You made it come to life.
Wayyyyy cooool!

This is what Tony started with.

Wow! That turned out cool!
My son's Pinewood Derby car this year was inspired by Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He'd get a kick out of seeing this replica.
