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.

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,
Albert Jr

I'm admiring your handiwork on the boom & stick Lou, nicely done.

I need a longer stick for my Stahl hoe.

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!
