Awesome work Lou.

With that powerful arm sticking out the front, it would be cool if you wrote "Popeye" on the side of the cab.

Great work Lou. Looks even better when you see it up close. Your getting real close to shooting the juice to it. Did anyone get pictures at Greg's yesterday.

Lou - Thanks for the demo on Sunday. All of us enjoyed it.

We are hooked!!!

Started doing research on 1/14th scale ZX350-3 build. We want it to be all electric though. We'll keep you posted. Probably going to need lots of help from you and Greg.

Thanks again,

You cant own a logging co without having a company crummy...over the summer i aquired a 1/18 scale crawler and today i was at the local second hand store and manage to snag this for $2.50 ..scale is very close to 1/14
Its a 2006 silverado same as my 1to1

[RCTech9]

SWEETness!!!

[td9clyde]

wouldn't happen to have a link would ya????? lol

[Snochaser]

Lou, fine job on the conversion of your Deere, the V.I.B.C. Fleet is so inspiring!!!

-Ben

[aseejr]

Lou - Something wrong with that crummy though.....it's a Chevy. LOL.

Anytime you guys need help with something, let us know. We'd be happy to help.

[tc1cat]

Lou, I have to ask- Is your wife around when you are working on your toys on the GLASS topped table? I would get at least 7 years of grief if I did something like that! Toys look fantastic! Nothing wrong with the Silverado either!
