Guest Magoo Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Prepare to be blown away. Ernie Adams, one of the pioneers of the dwarf aka legends race car movement in the USA, also builds these dwarf road cars from scratch. Here's one of his most recent, an unbelievable miniature '49 Merc. The story includes video and some unique fabrication techniques.

Dandy Dave Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yes. This has been circulating around the web. Very Cool :cool: I have thought of doing a miniture dump truck to go with the power Shovel I build a number of years ago. Something based on a design from the 1920's. Seems like there is always something more importiant to do. I have the makings of a small Bulldozer also. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Sounds awesome. How can we encourage you?I haven't figured that part out yet. I guess a suitcase full of money, would help so I can take care of the monthly nussiance of bills that show up and need to be paid, and the need to eat filled everyday. And also a Can of Ambition so I can get my slowing down self up and going on projects. Right now I have a bum knee that is getting in the way of any extra activities. Send donations to Jr. Samples. BR 549. We will take care of it from there and see it is used with descretion as we see fit. Grandpa Jones also is in need of a condensing coil for his corn liquer still as the old one sprung a leak and then was robbed by junk scavigers by the name of Larry, Daryl, and Daryl. And if things could not be worse, we had to get a loan from Archie Campbells Barber Shop to Bury Roys old dog what up and died as Buck charged two George Washingtons to Bury em.... Sitting here wondering if I missed my real first calling of being a Comedian. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 The original poster was seeking info on it.

Guest Magoo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 One possible note: Buster Keaton seems to have had a special interest in tiny cars. It appears he owned a number of American Austins and Bantams and may have been (?) a dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
