See ya all later its time for me to move on , the group was fun take care Chuck

If anyone remembers the Mickey Thompson and Eastern Raider Pintos from Revell we remember how hoakie the chassis was and how the car built up . I have added a side spill plate to the bottom of the body and shaved away the original one away that wrapped way under the body and made mine tapered from 5mm to 8mm and the Challenger chassis from the model king fits the wheelbase perfect.I also raised the radius on the front wheelwell with my dremel just a bit .Also I removed the grill Revell put in and replace it and the headlights with flat plastic . Here is my mock up so you can see what I did . I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think of it so far . Now I can call it a MPC F/C LOL thanks Chuck

Well I finally got some time to work on models again so I've got my 4 MPC funny car bodies almost done . I built a mock up chassis from the MPC kit ,but I'm not happy with them with because the rail to the inside of the chassis are flat and not round , the MPC axle is to big in diameter also . So I think I'm going to scratch build my chassis off of the Aurora funny car chassis design and you a cut version of the Revell front axle after I cast me some , This way I can have posable steering in the front and try to keep everything the right size or at least eye pleasing size . Here are the first 4 bodies almost done and I'm starting with these cars first . They are casted from the Black Magic body 1 from the Barry Setzer body and 1 from the Motown Shaker . I redrew all of the decals to fit the MPC cars since that's the only ones I'm going to build , because they look to be in the right scale when sitting next to a MPC Pro Stockers thanks Chuck

thanks Jim

yes you are correct sir thanks Chuck

LOL Jim , I caught the Erson after I posted it but missed the Stewart Warner , thanks for catching that for me thanks Chuck

Here is a rough start on the decals for the new body . Still have some tweaking and drawing to do to finish them Chuck

well I finally got them done guys Chuck

no problem pm me your address so I can send them to ya thanks Chuck

The Glidden decals are done and they fit Scotts Fairmont Thanks Chuck

maybe I should cast the body components of the Black Max and I can recreate the decals for it also . Would there be any interest in a conversion thanks Chuck

Hello guys , I recently got these 5 kits and was wondering if this was all of them or am I missing any of the original MPC trike kits thanks Chuck

I have been hearing that us guys who use an Alps printer for making decals will be out of business before to long due to the lack of ink cartridges and there availability. That's not true here is what 1200 cartridges look like and I'm still able to buy more . So guys don't worry I think we will be around for awhile Chuck

Hello guys I finally got home from the hospital and here is what I received.Here are my 2 bodies I got from TRD, The dodge has 5 coats of primer with 3 sanding on it , so tonight it should pretty much block out smooth. Then I get to start on the Mustang and I'm just waiting for the Camaro to get done so I can order it also .Then I'll start drawing Pro Stock decals for all of them . thanks Chuck

Here are the decals I do for the series

Hello guys here are 3 more new drag decals I just finished thanks Chuck

Well I finally made some time this weekend to mess around with a Nascar . It is a resin body from SMH and a set of decals I drew up this weekend, now for the bare foil and a little clear . thanks Chuck
