Has anybody seen this 'Brinkworth' models before?

I hate to think how much these things cost, looks like they have been doing commissions for Newman/Haas, Ganassi, Rick Galles etc for a long time, since 1993 or so.

Amazing, detail and time spent into fabricating these custom models.

Nice to dream.

Gav.

I just saw a Kool car yesterday that looks like these. Steve, it was at your buddy Bill's over in Avon. Bought some stuff from him on ebay and got to see his collection.

edit - it must have been one of these

OMG!

Outstanding builds, but for us normal "Joes", where would you put something that large?

While the price most likely reflectS the build quality, I think it also identifies the marketplace for which it is intended.....

NEAT!
