tbusch Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I can't believe I havent seen this kit before, after all the snooping I have done on the net, sometimes starting with an original kit makes it a lil more special to me, thanks for the info Terry! I see we are practically neighbors We met in Columbia last year. I was the one talking to you about the Fiat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry clayton Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 found a video---don't know how to load it but if you google 1971 Supernationals, and load the part 2 with Dick Landy, go to 3:20 seconds and then to 5:30 seconds you will get to see the car at the first race with the full nose, polished blower,valve covers and chrome headers---However, it was actually 1970!!!!

Keep up the great work on this. hey Chris, thanks bro, a friend gave me the belt, ita a replacement belt for the little chop saw, it is too thick and stiff really, I had a hard time with it, not real happy with the way it came out, don't know if I should address it or leave it, it was too wide to begin with had to narrow it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
