No DTW it is a flaw in the picture viewer, so there is no way to save them as a complete picture without zooming out. But then the quality drops because the image is rendered to the specific window size.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together.

Re: Interesting Jeron Pics
Funky, your also looking at unfinished prototypes. The GTO was not released to the public. This is the only one out there so its a little rough. I am going to pull one of my cars out of storage this week. I will post some high res photos.

Re: Interesting Jeron Pics
to me the Mercedes and the alfa are my favorites, just works of art! the grilles and louvers are just beautiful not to mention the bodys as a whole, will try to post sum detail pics so you guys can see where im cuming from I also have tons of photos and negatives that ron sent me back in the day , and the vcr tapes (yes vcr tapes ron sent me back in tha day) got those converted to dvd will post them as soon as I figure that out, I think I post sum in this site sum where , the dual tank lancia is also stunning in 1/4 scale, ron put the locking fuel filler caps on sum like mine and others the usual filler cap. im working on an area 51 project now that might compare to these beauties but never match em ! I think im the only guy that runs mine !

Re: Interesting Jeron Pics
when I first ran my jerons in the early 90s one broke down! I quickly found out that ron didn't use joints in the rear half shafts with locking pins! ron quickly remedied it, all cars after that had grubs screws installed to lock in pins, ron told me he didn't expect no one to run em like I did, but was glad I did and problem solved, now I don't wreck em but they are made to run!
