      This is my diorama that I created using this model. It depicts the owner fallen asleep working on the car. His dog has chewed up his drill cord and is pilfering the toolbox for more toys. On the top of the toolbox is a turning wheels magazine.

      I have an engraved plaque on the diorama that reads..."The best meditation...is Restoration!"

        The one I have is made by Motor City Classics and the i.d. tag on the box has a date of 2004.

          John,

          You're gonna get a lot of grief on here for using a concrete block to hold up that left rear corner...

              Hey, the block came with the kit. There are miniature jack stands that can not be seen at this camera angle. There was no conscious intent to include CASO content. This couldn't be my shop. It is too clean, organized, and uncluttered.

              The sad truth is that there are parts of the country that may have more cars sitting in back yards on concrete blocks than tires.

                  Thanks Pat. For the display case, I used a discarded wooden spool pilfered out of the dumpster at work. Some of the plastic tubing we sold came on some pretty well-built wooden spools. I found a curved piece of glass to use for a window, routed a new groove to fit the curved glass, reset the curve of the thin wood barrel for the walls, and bolted it all back together. The tie rods for the spool serve as shop support poles.

                  I am certainly not good at photography. I have found attempting to photograph displays and dioramas through glass very difficult.

                  Here is another angle that shows the front jack stands.
