Hey Lee , I have those issues , can send you pics if you want . Robert

I use an old grocery apron , loop around my neck and bottom thumb tacked to the edge of the work bench . It's about 3' wide and catches everything .

Nope , liked the lower look , but that's just me . Great looking build .

That was in the 2000 annual Car Modeler issue from SAE .

If you want a nice pro street chassis for the 55 try this one ,

I'm building the same engine for one of my roadsters too . The intake and carbs are from the AMT 40 Ford coupe kit . Several kits have the 2 barrels and stacks .

That is really nice Bob .

That's beautiful , black on anything is my favorite color , me pulling off a black paint job is another matter .

We were racing 1/24 R/C cars 20 or more years ago , they were made by Tamiya . I still have these packed away. We raced on slot car tracks , just didn't use the slot . They didn't become a really big thing because of the lack of slot car tracks to race on here. They could be set up outside , but had to have a very smooth surface to handle well .

Had hail just north of us the size of grapefruit , that's what was reported ! Saw a lot golf ball size .

Just goes to show , just because you can , doesn't mean you should . A sad state for an iconic car .

Sad , such a brilliant mind confined to a failing body . Rest in Peace

These old films are great .

Great looking truck , the inspiration for this maybe ?

There's a 46-48ish Merc behind the wrecks at 3:05 , and a 46-48ish Plymouth in the pit at 6:50 .
