Futurattraction Scale Products - New aftermarket website

04 January 2013 - 08:46 AM

Hi,

 

I wanted to formally announce that my website www.futurattraction.com is now operational.  I offer mostly 70s-80s vintage drag race-inspired parts, with an emphasis on Ford- and Fairmont-related stuff.  Much of what I offer comes in multi-media packages that include resin, photo etch, aluminum and stainless tubing and a few aftermarket parts, such as RB Motion rod ends and MAD pre-wired distributor caps.  I've also started expanding into the area of larger scale drag parts.  I do most of my own small parts casting and product development, however I do have Ed Fluck cast my pro stock Fairmont body and related parts.  If you ever need any casting done, I can't recommend a better person than Ed...

 

As with many modelers, this is a part-time venture for me, since I still have a 40-hour a week job, so my time is more limited than I’d like.  I've got some interesting projects in the works.  Take a look! 

 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Photo etch steering wheel construction

13 August 2012 - 10:17 AM

I've done some experimentation with very limited success in making a full circle race car type steering wheel in photo etch, with a resin grip.  I would like to come up with a way to make the grip of the wheel out of resin, but have the grip in two separate halves that then sandwich a circular rim of the photo etched spoke section.  I'm thinking of this for 1/25th, 1/16th and maybe larger scales.  Any thoughts?

Fairmont drag car build - lots of updates 04/28/13

08 August 2012 - 05:57 PM

I’m going to try my hand at something I’ve never succeeded at before – build a car online from start to finish. This is a huge challenge because it’s been ages since I even finished a build, let alone let anyone track my progress over an extended period of time. LOL I'll do my best to document as I go. My goal is to build a drag car that will be based off my Fairmont body and the floor pan I’ve been working on. Notice I didn’t say it'll be a Pro Stock build. I’m undecided which hood I will use. In actuality, I have a preference for the outlaw cowl hood over the pro stock hood, so I guess I’ll see what direction I end up going... Regardless of the hood, this will not be a purely vintage build, because it will set lower in the rear than cars of that era, will undoubtedly have modern-design wheelie bars, and I may run 16” wheels of a newer vintage and larger OD slicks out back. The engine will probably be a stroker Cleveland with a Lenco. I'll start off with the basic pieces for the body and what it looks like after some basic cleanup work. More to come...
