Garett still has the oldest one so far. 2002 but Dinos is close behind from 2003 with the original casting from the first mold. But darnit, he needs a LT tail so his coin is facing FWD. :-(

On the way! I received some very kind words from Brian Fox the other day. I've always loved making Tails and putting as much detail as I can in them. They've become a huge pain in the butt but I've got a pretty good system that keeps me close to the family. But man, he really warmed my heart and reminded me of why I started doing this in the first palce. With a smile on my face during his whole construction process, this ol girl goes out to him...

Garrett Paris currently has one of my original Tail Flashes. Lobo 151. He sent me a picture and I quickly realized it need to be replaced. This ol girl is on her way to him. I'm glad he's held on to it and I'm happy to be replacing it. The old ones aren't garbage but what a difference 20 years makes.

Always trying to make a better product. The picture on the right is the original casting (panel, push rod and rudder horn all together) it had problems not seating flush and coming un-glued. Now I cast separate and shape the horn to the rudder and glue it individually. It adds alot of work and time but looks and seats better.

Thank you Major To, for your help easing the process of making your tailflashes. It was my pleasure to fill your order

We are not a parts supplier but I hope it work out Dan Naef
