        Say it ain't So JOE!

        Although I noticed in an earlier post you needed to "take care of some things". Well good luck to you and your "things". I hope we will see you around here soon. We will sure miss your awesome skills and Creativity around these parts.

                  Was doing some research for a new model and happened to come across some new photos of a Hannibal 8 being restored. Couldn't figure out how I had missed them before, but then I noticed that they were posted to Flickr about 9 months after I posted my model. Figured I'd post them here in case anybody wanted to see what the Hannibal 8 really looks like in some of the areas where I had to use my imagination because there were no reference photos available at the time.

                  This is what my less-than-stellar imagination came up with for the hydraulics, chain drive and whatnot
                  1.png

                  and here's what it actually looks like
                  1d.png

                  The caption under the photo reads
                  aa.png

                  Some more photos
                  1a.png

                  Could have made the interior more accurate and detailed if I had had this photo
                  1b.png

                  Didn't know all this stuff was in the back seat, I assume it's for the hydraulics
                  1f.png

                  As you can see it's in pretty bad shape, but I did some searching and came up with some photos of it after being restored. As you can see the restoration is not complete, some parts are missing, such as the nose cone, spare tires, luggage, the pole holding up the roof, one of the rear wheels, etc. But it's definitely come a long way.
                  b.jpg

                  Apparently the guy standing at the control raises and lowers the vehicle, a real step up from the other Hannibal 8's on display elsewhere that are static and held up by poles. Also, this is the only one that got it right as far as the fenders raising with the body, like they did in the movie.
                  h.jpg
                  c.jpg

                  Anyhow, just thought I'd post these here in case anybody might be interested.
                  Am I gonna update my model with this new info? Probably not 😐

                    yeah, probably shouldn't have posted this, it's just that I was so excited to find out that yet another of the Hannibal 8's has survived.

                    I tend to get emotionally involved with my projects, should probably seek professional help about that πŸ˜•

                            The gaudy gold structure you can see in the background of the second photo is part of a Wurlitzer organ that was also restored at the Stahl Museum. You can see it being played in Mar 2015, with the Hannibal 8 and a Leslie Special in the background here:

                                Pity they didn't play that on the Wurlitzer.
                                Did you notice the back end of the moose at 2:48 in that video? πŸ˜„

                                    right now it's in our Pinewood Derby mothballs where it has been for the past 20 years--right next to the Lost Ark.. I guess I oughtta get it back out and spiff it up.

                                      Oh yes. Always good for a chuckle or two. A nice bit of Blake Edwards' subtle wit.

                                      BTW . . .I could probably do this in Sketchup. Professor Fate's Noise Seeking torpedo. My son and I did this years ago for his first cub scout pinewood derby car. great little conversation piece. It lost in the race. .but won first place in Design.

                                        I've just started a new website & forum, dedicated to the cars and characters from the movie.
                                        If you do get it out, I'd love to see some photos of it posted there. πŸ˜„
