put a shaker scoop on it Ray.

visually, it looks to me like the radiator shell and bonnet on the awful repop of the ala kart is closer to the real truck than the original kit.

usually a google image search for 1/32 scale slot car wheels works well for me, then I can see what I'm looking for and get the link directly to a vendor. or you can try this place... Slot Car Parts : Electric Dreams, New and Vintage Slot Cars

looks more like a "Dr. Who" version of the Enterprise...but, who knows, someone will probly buy it.

YAY, Bill painted something!!!!! Go Bill, go...

I think you're selling yourself short Ray. I think you could do it.

wow, that was just like a tutorial on Z'ing a frame...

it just reminds us daily that "common sense" is not common. and that product packages have to be large enough to have all the required warnings printed on them so the manufacturer can't be sued when their product gets used incorrectly. I mean, why would Apple need to put "do not swallow iPod" on the consumer documentation?

my best wishes are for you on this, while maintaining a positive outlook will be very hard but I think positive thoughts will help more than dwelling on the negative side will not help the problem.

I am a leaf on the wind.

thanks guys.

the view outside my work tonight, wish I had something better than my cell phone to save this moment... that's the moon in case anyone is wondering.

just leave them off and tell people it's a TR4 instead of a TR4A.

I'd rather kiss a wookie! Scruffy looking nerf herder. Oh, switch off. When you can take the pebble from my hand...

really like the detail work. one minor issue with the detail on the master cylinder... (and only meant to be helpful...) the whole top of the master cylinder is the lid/cover to the brake fluid reservoirs, there would be no single hole in the cover unless someone decided to mangle it for some obscure reason. teh interwebs should be able to supply a decent reference photo.

do you need an actual thermo quad carb in order to produce the scale version?

FOOD FIIIIGHT!!!

the center cap looks a little small compared to the actual photo.

"You can't handle the truth!" NO SOUP FOR YOU!

any photos from this show?

I say it's bad for the USA. While other jobs are getting created in other countries, the USA is losing more of it's industry. I wonder if anyone in the USA (who might actually care about American workers) has calculated the tipping point where the USA will become only a "service industry" rather than a manufacturing industry. Five years ago while I was observing the decline of my then current employer, I watched message boards at one of the companies asian plants, I was amazed at the nepotism, favoritism and the fact that the plant manager had to shut the message board down after he was called foul names in a forum which could be considered a company record. Rumors of workers leaving their jobs to work anywhere else for a penny more an hour...

I focused on the fiberglass aspect of the car but still got no joy on my search.

I agree with the Doc, SPOT ON! I thought I recognized wheels from the Aurora custom wheel pack, IMHO it has the best set of chrome steel wheels ever marketed.

you could just use C6 or C7 suspension/running gear unless you're going for a period correct custom/concept car.

maybe there is a thesaurus you could use to help with this issue you are having...
