Quick GMC

Yeah, headers have been a problem for me lately. So basically build everything, then build the cage.

Thanks guys. I may wait a bit on this one.

I see a lot of guys building tubular frames from scratch, sections, etc. Is there a template or plans that are followed or do you guys basically just figure it out as you go. I wanted to try it, but I was hoping there was something to follow. I don't have any knowledge of roll cages and frames like this so I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm thinking of doing something like this for my 65 Chevy Pickup and future cars. Maybe a Boss 429 or something.

I am usually uploading 100mb or more at a time and it always times out or misses several or something. My upload speed is 30mb/s with what I have. For a few pictures at a time it's fine. Maybe it's just me. I haven;t had any issues since I left PB.

I ditched Photobucket years ago. IMO it is one of the worst photo sharing sites out there. It takes forever to load photos. I use Imgur now. Very simplified, no BS. You can upload a quickie and share it without logging in and adding it to your album or photos. It will float around in the Imgur cloud, forever lost, unless you save the URL. Or you can have albums and all that neat stuff. You can set the picture size so as it uploads it automatically re-sizes the photos. Lats time I was on PB they didn't have that, not sure now.

hurry up, would ya

I really used to stick with Strada Sports, but a year or two ago the cimmunication started going downhill and it took months to get parts. A real shame, I lilked that place. They're still in business, but I have a bad taste in my mouth at this point. For the detail sets, race car stuff and the harder to find parts, Media Mix Hobby in Singapore is fantastic. Cheap shipping, great prices, and it gets to you fast. They are my go to, they always have everything in stock.

It works better than you might think. All the hot piping is under the car. Reduces underhood temps by hundreds of degrees. They work pretty well.

It's not that big of a deal, I don't understand why OP tried to make a huge thing about it. respiratory protection isn't that expensive. If you're that sensitive to the 2k, you should be wearing protection for everything else anyway.

I don't feel like it But thanks for the heads up

I use Scale Hardware. Mostly for larger scale stuff but sometimes for these.

I appreciate the comments. I finally got the photos the way I want them. I had to get a smaller photo tent, the 30" one I had was too big for the lights I have. This one seems to be just right.

The chassis and underside of the body are now assembled with the engine and everything else. The ride height is final. Wheels are from the 67 GTX kit. I have the interior almost done. I'll post it when I get the final details finished.

Revell's newer kit. Body color will be Ford Washington Blue, a very dark blue. I added a turned brass bolt for the oil pan bolt.

Meh, not a fan of any of those combos, but out of the 3 I would opt for the glass roof. Pull the trigger and don't look back.

He was great in The Last Castle (I think?) With Robert Redford. He was very hateable.

I saw several on the showroom floors around southern california when they came out. Maybe there aren't so many around anymore. I would really love to get a new GT Premium, with the Brembo brakes and suspension package, but it's still a reach for me right now. Someday. Good luck finding the car you want.

two years ago I picked up one of his books at Costco, hen ended up reading every single one in order. I haven't read the newest one though. What a shame, great books.

By far, I would prefer the glass roof coupe. I'm not a fan of performance convertibles.

I have an extra seat from the Tamiya 993 GT2 kit. It's this seat (without harness) http://forum.spc.org.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11934&start=0

They're kids. If you expect kids to not touch stuff, especially things that look like toys, then you're in for a world of hurt.

I have never been to a mode show. I keep finding out about them after the fact and my schedule is hectic. I'd LOVE to go. If I had a model I felt was presentable enough to enter, that alone would be an accomplishment for me.
