MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. are these items available anywhere and I'm just over looking them....or am I gunna have ta' make em? ?
  2. I too would be interested in a set of P-slots. Was going to try converting the sewer lid porsche wheels, but if your guy will sell em...heck that'd save me a lot of hassle. Love the Mk1's...
  3. wheels look to be those from the Alumacoupe kit.... Nice looking build. Love the color.
  4. The Milner (Paul LeMat)coupe plate? Anyone that's a fan of the movie (I have been, since I was about 6 and first watched it) knows that plate number. THX 138. The dragster was from the somewhat obscure sequel. The 58 Impala mentioned above was "owned" by Steve Bolander (Ron Howard.) The 55 used in the movie, and driven by Harrison Ford was also the same car later used in Two Lane Blacktop as most of you know. Suzanne Sommers was gorgeous in that movie...Makenzie Phillips not so much. The "main" Pharaoh was Jerry Reed, later known as "The Snowman" in the Bandit movies. In my opinion, it's the best Lucas film ever.
  5. I would LIKE to think of myself as a Empi wheel (and accessory, as well as other aircooled wheel) expert. Those are DEF. not Empi. As far as der wagen, it's a poor kit over all, however the body is decent if you're into the 1303's...which to me look best tucking a set of modern 17" P-car wheels under the fender wells and a injected/turbocharged Type IV tucked under the decklid.
  6. That front seat would be an AWESOME piece to re-pop in resin. I can see using one of those in a rat rod 32... I'm just sayin.
  7. I prefer the later CTs myself. This one was pretty easy for me, surprisingly enough. FWIW: Would love to see a later one kitted. I can see a protouring styled ride w/ a GT2 spec lump.
  8. Go to Richies website, should be plenty of pics there. As well, if there is a phone number don't hesitate to call (DSR.) The guys at Don Shumacher Racing are exceptional when it comes to PR. There is a decent chance they will go out and take some pics for you. I got some pictures from one of Tonys cars a few years back this way. Now would prolly be the best time to call since they just finished up at Brainerd, and are more than likely back in Brownsburg prepping for Indy. shoeracing.com (I think) as that SHOULD be their site. Might be able to request info/pics of some of DSR's other cars as well. Good Luck. Doc
  9. I think what Brandon is getting at is this is a "easy" way to add accessory gauges under the dash. HOWEVER, I always use the flat stock that is on most parts trees, sanded into shape with decals applied. Much easier, more sturdy, and the thickness is *a little* closer to 1:1.
  10. Forget a spare (or go with the porsche mini-spare.) Put an oil cooled and some ducting up there!
  11. If I didnt like the 60' top so much I'd send you a 62' top I'm partially kidding. PM me more about this BCAS...please. Thanks bro. Doc
  12. I've noticed it too...kinda strange if I do say so myself. Mine is more of a term of endearment given to me years ago. I don't know why but they tell me it comes with the job. Drew, I can't help but associate your last name, and user name with Dean...any relation?
  13. Next time I'm home (huber) I'll show it to ya hah. Are there any REAL hobby shops around Dayton anymore? Last one I remember was Kemper down on Woodman and Dorthy...
