  1. He's right. It's a magneto. I have one just like it.
  2. Glad to hear it. The address, phone number were missing from the site and it won't allow emails to be sent from it. I thought they might have closed up.

    Sounds good. Not sure if you want to go to the trouble, but it has a switch panel that goes across the roof and has a radio up there too. If you want resin 3 Inches Under on Ebay has o2 bottles, scuba gear, duffle bags and all kinds of stuff that they would carry in the back of that 4x4. Of course, if you 3d print you might want to go that way, but I thought I'd toss in the link in case you wanted to look it over. Can't wait to see it finished. Three Inches Under | eBay Stores

    Can't wait to see 240-R-2. Don't forget the sunroof. I have one of these in progress, but it got stored last time I moved, and I have not found it yet. I loved the episode where Morgan is chasing a Sioux 47 and the Sioux flies into a hanger and finds out his exit is blocked by patrol cars and now his other exit is blocked by Morgans Hughes 500-C. and they start doing the dual inside the hanger till they are forced to land in it. Gotta give it to those stunt flyers in that episode.
  5. I got ya. Sorry for my misunderstanding there. Can't wait to see it finished. I always loved these Demons.
  6. My Mom had a Dodge Demon, Plumb Crazy Purple, with back interior, and it has the squared off speedometer in it. There were no Demons produced in 73.
  7. Plain old Elmers's glue brushed on and then the powder on top works pretty good.
  8. 68 used stock hinge. 70 Superbird used a solid hinge and a round spring to hold it open just like the 71 used. 71 Road Runner used a solid hinge and a round spring to hold it open.
  9. What year? He ran the Road Runner from 68 to mid-season 72 before switching to the 72 Charger.
  10. That looks great. I remember the blue /green tint of my Dads windshield in the 74 Charger he had. You see a lot of that factory tint on a/c equipped cars back in the day.
  11. If you used CA glue you can try fingernail polish remover. It has acetone in it and it will eat CA or Super Glue. You could also put it in the freezer and let it get cold before trying to gently pry them off.
  12. Yeah, you can see the bars way up high in those pics for sure. And I agree with you, it does not look safe that way. Yeah, I was having trouble getting my bars and halo up against the roof and I thought why not build it loke we build the real solid frame cars. When using a factory solid frame car, we drill through the top and bottom of the frame and put the main hoop through both holes and weld it on both sides. Makes it really strong that way. And it works that way for the models except your putting holes in the interior floor and putting the main and halo on the roof, if you use a halo that is. Oh, remember this too, when the car is on the chassis plate being built all the roll bars are straight and level, but when you put it on the ground on the wheels, it might look like the roll bar is leaning forward because of the rake of the car.
  13. Roll bars look good. I wanted to offer you an idea to use on your next set of roll bars. You can drill two holes through the interior tub. Then bend your main hoop and leave both sides extra long to put it through the holes. That way you can get it right up against the roof. Then bend and fit your halo bar and glue it to the main hoop then put it back up against the roof and glue that in place then continue with your forward bars and so on. Not sure on that year of car, but modern rules, that those door bars can't be over the driver's shoulder in height and then they meet the A pillar bar at the floor. Just thought I'd throw that in there. I've built too many of the real thing and hate bending these plastic ones. lol . I tried to bend one the other night and it broke. Not enough heat and got too fast with it I guess. Car looks great.
