Art this is such an awesome project. I love Midgets. Did your brother go the Chilli bowl this year? I know his car appears to be set up for pavement, but I thought I would ask.

I really like where you are going with this. Excellent start.

Here is a couple pictures of my most recent project. I was really pleased with the progress. The paint looked good the decals looked good. Then I clear coated and the model was reuined. In a split second all the work I put into it down the the drain. One side looks great one side looks like a horror movie. Slixx recommend Testors clear coat and not Tamyia I used Testors but applied it too heavy. The hobby is humbling and it keeps my pride in check. Thankfully there are some absolutely amazingly generous people on this forum and one of them is sending a new set. So it is into the brake fluid the body goes.

Did you make the injector stacks or are they aftermarket. They look perfect with the build. -

I have followed your WIP and I just gotta say I love your work and attention to detail. You took an unusual kit that could have just been thrown together, but you turned into a work of art. I love the extra details you added and the way you used paint to create interest. Looking forward to the diorama.

Removal of wipers
Fortheloveofgassers replied to Fortheloveofgassers's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for all the replys. I guess I should have said I like building Gassers which typically shouldnt have wipers. I have tried cutting the wipers off and re-scribing the cowl vent with a panel scriber. It turns out ok but I keep thinking there must be a better way. Has anyone replaced the cowl vent with photo-etched vents?- 16 replies

What self respecting drag car or stock car would have windshield wipers? Problem is many kits that are good candidates for race cars have wiper arms molded in. I have removed them with limited success. Anybody have good proceedure to remove wipers and recreate the intake vent and window molding? I even thought about cutting the whole mess out and grafting I photo ecthpiece in it's place. Would love to any hear all suggestions for this age old problem Thanks

Scale nitro driver?
Fortheloveofgassers replied to Fortheloveofgassers's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Yes Casey, that is what I am looking for. What kit is that from? Thanks Jeff, I like it but was looking for a seated at the least a posable driver that could be used in a cockpit -
Is anyone aware of a supplier for a styrene or resin nitro driver in 1/25 or 1/24 scale? I would like one representing the sixtys or seventys with an old style mask etc. Thanks in advance.
