Only GM engine that used the same block was pontiac. both the Buick and Oldsmobile used a different block for the 350 and the 455. Being this car is going to be given to my best friend who is a not only a 1970 Oldsmobile Rally 350 owner but an Olds enthusiast and the son of a retired oldsmobile executive and will know the difference. I may look at the 400 in the 69 442 kit but don't know if it was based on the Hurst/Olds or the 442 as the H/O had a 455. ( retro fitted by Hurst) Tim

I have heard of people using suction cups for woofewrs. HTH Tim

I am going to build a 70 Olds Rally 350 for a friend of mine. But I am in need of an Oldsmobile small block 350 motor. Anyone know of a kit or aftermarket that has one. Thanks Tim

Thanks Anthony, that is what I was looking for. Tim

A few years ago I remember finding an article posted on line about converting the incorrect Cummins nt350 to a correct NT35? something about the engine in the 359 pete and other kits being a prototype engine or something along those lines. It was long ago I remember seeing it. Does anyone have info or know of this article. I want to do a correct engine in my Diamond reo build. Thanks Tim

Well I went to an IPMS chapter model show today. While it was a nice show about 150 entries. What irked me was llooking at some of the aircraft models. it seems like you can get loads more aftermarket parts for aircraft than you ever can for car models. Even the tiny 1/72 scale you can get photoetched grills, intakes, engine parts, Etc. and highly detailed resin cocpits etc. So where are the same for the car modelers? no where to be found Rant off Tim

I would lovew to find a Cobra II.They could be a pocket rocket built right. I am working on a model of one now. There is more aftermerket for the Mustang II suspension than most all other put together. Tim

I too would like to find a car model club. There are IPMS chapters. Even a show on Oct 12 at the ranch. I got a bad taste from IPMS. Maybe we could get one going. My son works part time at the Ft. Collins Hobbytown. He may beable to spread the word. Tim

I am building some pro-touring cars and wonder where the modern wheels and tires. BFG Comp T/As, michilin pilots, nitto 555s, Goodyear Eagle F-1s. tires in a 17-20" modern wheels in the same size. Formula 43s, Bonspeed, Forgeline, Etc. Anyone know if there is any company or aftermarket making any of these? Tim

I have made littleprogress on the Charger. Summer is the slow building time. Tim

One of these centuries I need to hit that show. Tim

I know I am full of questions. I am looking for a Light duty diesel engine for a pick up project I am working on. A Cummings, power stroke or duramax. Either full resin or even a conversion. even article on conversion. Tim

So it seems like the newer trucks are not available yet( BIG Yet) So are any older trucks available. like the Pete bull nose or the KW equivalent. I am looking at doing a either a Super semi pulling truck team or a bonniville race team semi and I want a unique truck to finish it off. Tim

Like the title says, I am wondering if anyone is making them in 1/25 scale. I think the newest is the anteater Kenworth, We need something at least in the 21 century. LOL Tim

Yeah, I would like the F series Ford (F150,F250 and F350)and a GM900 series GM pick up. That would be cool. Tim

All the progress is awsome. I need to get some pictures of my progress. Tim

looks like a 40 Ford coupe. got anyother pictures for autorama. I miss it. Tim

Nick, I don't seem to be on the entry list. Tim

Cool idea, looking forward to updates Tim

YEah, there used to be a IPMS chapter club in Souix Falls. When I was in Rapid we used to go to their show and they would come to ours. Not sure if it is still around or not. Tim
