Have you ever wondered what the diorama looked like before it was tweaked. I thought it would be fun to show you this and I'm going to make this a feature that I believe would be cool to see in the future.

Sorry for the yellow tint and the lack of better focus but the outdoors today is a little overcast. Like Bunkerjim said it's all about the lighting.

Nice set up Daniel..

Do you have some performance parts from C&L on your 1/1 car?

Nice looking car, but I always thought the Flathead Flyer would look better with white walls
like they show on the card art..

I second that. Iirc, these came along just before the series of pickup trucks, which is the first place I remember seeing JL use whitewalls, but that wasn't until the third round or so...I think, subject to correction.

Yes Jim I do have the C&L cold air intake with three different tunes loaded on my SCT2 tuner but really what woke up my car was the 4.10 differential gears however with the tuner I have no limit on top end so it helped considering I'm running a drag strip gear. I also have Steeda Underdrive Pullys and Mac axlebacks with a Mac prochamber to replace the H-pipe. Now I'm done because it's fast enough but never say never. Thanks for letting me plug my car!!

No Harry no new Camera. I have cut back on my spending and Tina and I are getting along so much better. I am going to the flea market this weekend though!

Some more GREAT pictures from Daniel.
I like the ones shown here.

I still like the Flathead Flyer.
It may be an older JL casting but it has some kind of inherent class to it.
Think "hot rod", when you view this casting.
Almost timeless.

Cheers. Cobra
