by Anthony Ricco on February 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

by Anthony Ricco on January 31, 2022 · in Automotive · 12 ≡

My 512 TR is complete, the first road car I've done and I was worried about the paint and how to get that on but it turned out well. I added some engine wiring and some bits and pieces to it to make it my own. I really need to figure out [...]
