I was inspired by a man who built a 1/2 scale McClaren Indy car and a Willy's Jeep for his kids back in the 70's. He gave me the Jeep when my oldest son now 21 was born. We played around with it till my friend had grandchildren of his own and gave it back to him. Being I like construction equipment I built the D1 .
I was approached by a friend this past weekend who wanted to buy the D1 for his grand daughter. I know he would pay royally for it but my son does not want to sell it. Both of the boys are mad I sold my 1948 Dodge Power Wagon I restored back in the early eighties. It was hard to sell a truck you put a lot of time into and owned for 15yrs. And now I wish I still had it but at the time I needed room in my shop for more machinery.
