Sure. When you wake up tomorrow it will be January 1, 1816. Don't worry about setting the clock on the microwave... Dale

I first heard the term in graphic design, so it isn't just a model building thing. WIP, that is. Pau for now... Dale

YUP! Revised 2013 version Pro Mod.pdf Dale

Chuck: If you use Windows, look to see how many copies of IE the machine has under the Start Menu and try using the other if there are two. My wife's HP Win7 machine had two and one got her email and the other wouldn't have anything to do with it. And thusly I stick to my old Mac... Dale

That was me. I made it from images Jon sent me, so he has it. Dale

Here's a link to Chris Alston's ChassisWorks roll bar and cage section. Lots of detailed diagrams and links to install articles. I used this site as a foundation for the chassis in my Pro Stock Mustang build. http://www.cachassisworks.com/c-248-roll-bars-roll-cages.aspx Dale

Dude! That's Three Million Pounds!!! Talk about doing the heavy work. Um...watch your fingers. Dale

Well done. I like the carbon fiber touch. I built that kit and the body is a challenge, you did a great job. Dale

My wife has one of those. It's not "preserved", though. I'm not allowed to use it. Dale

Welcome. Which Tri State? Ohio, Michigan and Indiana? I'm originally from Ohio. I hear the term a lot, but what's a tuner? I know it has to do with Import cars. Why "tuner"? Dale

Impressive build. First post dated 1-2012, last 9-2013. Quite a project. Looks like he's French. Dale

Ditto with the above. I ran through a lot of hair and rod, too, but learned a lot about 1:1 racers while figuring this out. stick with it. Dale

Extremely clean and well detailed. great paint job, too. What kit is that? AMT? Dale

^^^ Line lock? EDIT: I don't build these things, but here's my observation. The front plate and block saver would serve to contain the block within the chassis in case of a wreck or major explosion. It's the heaviest part of the car and could cause the most destruction if it got away. The angled web of tubing leading away from the rear mount are covered with sheet metal that create the fire wall. Dale

Yes. It reads BBCode Mode. What browser are you using? Whatever it is, try something else. Dale

There's a little "switch" icon in the top left of the Reply to this Topic window. Is it On or Off? If it's off, a lot of the post options don't work. Dale

Making sure ImageShack still works. Used Direct Link and the Image Icon here. My first build after returning to the hobby. Dale Just pasting forum Code: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Can anyone else access my account with the link above? Dale

Keep trying. http://www.performancemodelingclub.com/contactus.htm Dale

No problem. The question I replied to concerned the motor mount bolted to the chassis between the bell housing and motor. I interpreted my cursory reading as "If you have to have this type of bell housing, you need this motor mount". Probably wrong. I think that type of plate also serves as a firewall in tube chassis cars. Dale

From t he revised 2013 NHRA rule book: “Where an SFI 6.1, 6.3, or 9.1 bellhousing is mandatory, a full, onepiece motor plate is also mandatory at the rear of the engine block. The motor plate must be constructed of steel or 6061-T6, 7075-T6 or 2024-T3 wrought heat-treated aluminum alloy plate, minimum 1/8-inch thick for 6.1 or 9.1 applications, minimum 3/16-inch thick for 6.3 applications. In addition to the fastener requirements noted below, the SFI 6.3 flywheel shield must be fastened to the motor plate with four 1/2-inch-diameter Grade 5 shoulder bolts or high strength steel (or titanium) fasteners and nuts…” Dragsters, Funny Cars, Competition Eliminator, Pro-Mod, Top Sportsmen probably Pro Stock. All V8 cars with a clutch are required to have an SFI 6.1 rated transmission shield. I don't think that's a bell housing. Dale

Nice work. Glad to see this is back up and running. If I ever finish my Pro Mod Merc, My next project is a '64 Fairlane GT for the Super Stock GT class (any engine any year from the same company). Maybe I'll ship it to Finland and we can have a match race. Tell Miko I'm building a 1:1 Super Stocker. A '68 Mustang coupe with a 5.0L. Dale

I love Skagit county. Beautiful place for a drive. I'm in the Tacoma area. Not much of a club guy, though. Dale

Added both of these to my Auto Links reference folder. Great sheet metal work. Thanks. Dale
