What to do while two projects are in the waiting stage. I had been thinking about reworking a bonsai that had an aging Hemi 'Cuda in among a grove of Chinese Elm.

First I had to remove the Mopar

I had to split the frame and the bed to get them to straddle the smaller tree, but they snuggled in with a minimal amount of damage. So now, I have a fresher bonsai with a better model.I had a couple more fotos of the process, but they got deleted out of the camera without getting loaded (senior moment, I suppose).

Awesome Clay ...... incorporating two hobbies like that is very inovative.

Looks really cool Clay.

It was great to see this work in person at your place earlier this year. I think it adds a wonderful twist to a diorama, and I agree with Colin on how nicely it puts two hobbies together.

I love it Clay but then I liked the 'cuda too.
