  1. Try this link. http://nebula.wsimg.com/d2d104c148f4f44b12240e98930de17d?AccessKeyId=350DC2E998A40EC2FE9E&disposition=0&alloworigin=1
  2. Now where did that missing coil go ???
  3. The dashboard is printed on the Pyro instruction sheet. Lindberg forgot it on their instruction sheet.
  4. I hope you post progress on your Charger. I've got that listed for one of my future projects. Brian
  5. How'd you get plastic rod to make those side pipe turns? Hollow rod? or drilled out end?
  6. Our model group got to meet there for just over 3 years. (4/2010 to 6/2013) They were great hosts and it was a nice setting. Brian
  7. Mark, Just so you're aware - We were at the NHRA museum and compared the Revell 3 window body to a 1:1 stocker on the floor. It looked like the kit had about a 1" or 2" chop. When the kit first came out I think I remember this discussion about it. I want to make a stock looking 3 window and the slight chop isn't going to stop me. If you're not showing it with a 1:1, you can't really tell. Brian
  8. Never know where you'll show up. Brian
  9. Curt, I like the "gas struts" on the rear cover - are they actually holding the cover up by friction or is there something else? Brian
  10. This seems like a good idea for my Bare Metal knife so I had to go get one.
  11. I just got the FMR-082 Carter AFB carbs for the 68 - 69 hemi in the mail today. I agree, and they are spectacular too !!!!
  12. And when the racing career was over: Brian
  13. Gary, It didn't take Google too long to find two SOHC pics with bottom plugs. Brian http://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/2014/08/21/cammer-the-real-story-of-the-legendary-ford-427-sohc-v8/
  14. Just got back from the Post Office with my "polybag" issue. Give me a few minutes to relax and I'll open it.
  15. Bill, Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'll try shopping locally first. Brian
  16. Bill, A couple of questions about “Clear stencil sheet”. When I put that search into Amazon I got: Grafix Clear Craft Plastic .007 Thickness 12-Inch by 12-Inch, Pack of 25 Does this sound like the same stuff? Also, are you saying that you can thermoform this? Any other reasons why this is your favorite? (scratch resistant or just the clarity) Brian
  17. Well, I just assembled mine, now to find some plastic to terrorize. Brian
  18. Charlie, Thanks for the kind words. Brian
  19. Gabriel, Go to your local welding supply and get a sheepskin sweatband. They have snaps and make the band much more comfortable. They look like: http://store.cyberweld.com/coshsw.html Tillman Sheepskin Headgear Sweatband 560 - $5.95 Brian

  21. Charlie I think you meant Ben - not Brian
  22. Love the woody - but they're all great!
  23. My top four colors are: Blue 92 Red 63 Green 39 White 24 Then it starts trailing off to the two tones and others. I guess I really like shades of blue. Brian
  24. UPDATE: Chrysler told Yahoo Autos this afternoon that while it did not have any records of crashes involving Vipers donated to trade schools, the cars involved did not have historical significance. It also said it regularly expected vehicles donated to schools to be destroyed once they had lost their educational value, which the cars in question had given their age. The full statement: "Approximately 10 years ago, Chrysler Group donated a number of Dodge Viper vehicles to various trade schools for educational purposes. As part of the donation process, it is standard procedure — and stipulated in our agreements — that whenever vehicles are donated to institutions for education purposes that they are to be destroyed when they are no longer needed for their intended educational purposes. With advancements in automotive technology over the past decade, it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students. Chrysler Group fully understands and appreciates the historical significance of the Viper and is very active in preserving many of its legendary models and designs for historic purposes however, none of these vehicles fit into this category. Chrysler Group has no record of any legal proceedings involving Dodge Viper vehicles donated to educational institutions being involved in accidents and product liability lawsuits."
