Amazing work.

I looked at Pro-Tech for the Ts you mentioned.  Looks like they're $2.00 each?  No contact info for Pro-Tech.

Jim, I have Pro Tech parts on my site at laskiscale.com. Click the Shop button at the top and scroll down to the Pro Tech section.

Hello.......thank you all so very much for the kind comments I really do appreciate them:).......I`m using a 4 Cam  32 Valve Corvette engine for the power plant that I got from my parts box........I mocked it up into the chassis to see how it looks......I still need to add a few parts to it......I painted it Alclad and weathered  it lightly.......I also used "Pro Tech" rubber fuel line ,nut and bolt ends and detailing wire ....,..I used some purple plug wires from TJ Models.......I had GWS Decals make me some custom decals for this build .......one of them is the KOOLSVILLE tail light decal .......thanks for looking

John... What an update. Wow I don't think you can pack any more detail in that engine compartment. That is some incredible work you got going right there. You sure have been a Busy Bee.. This thing is just steller! Keep up the Killer work.
