  1. Excellent work on the builds guys. I started to quote but there were so many I decided I'd just make a blanket statement. I'll get started in earnest on my GTO before long.
  2. From what I know about the 65 and 66 AFX rules, they had to have carpet and two seats. The next gen AFX cars went straight weight savings and were the predecessors of funny cars with the full race setup.
  3. Good for you! I'm still waiting to get my space back from my daughter's rabbit. Little guy wasn't supposed to last this long but he keeps hanging in there. I'm cool with it though.
  4. Nice project! I love unique builds.
  5. That's one tough-looking Camaro!
  6. Thanks much!
  7. I keep a file of planned and dream builds. I'd like to get going on a trike based on the Frogman's Road Rocket. I'm basing it off a dragster frame. Got all the parts, just need to find the guts.
  8. Sweet!
  9. Hey gang, I'm installing the Carl Casper “Cosmic Charger” engine with the Potvin blower in another build and I'm questioning a couple of things in the instructions. The instructions and pin positions call for the installation of the valve covers per the attached pic. Looking at the many reference pics I have this appears upside down. There was the wording "Imperial" in the blank space at the bottom but I filed it off because I was just going to flip them but then I decided to check with you Mopar knowledgeable folks. I'm also attaching one of my reference pics for comparison. Also, the oil pan is instructed to be positioned with the sump forward. This again seems backward to me as the distributor is in the rear, and it drives the oil pump. Additionally with this kind of oil pan without a deep sump the oil would uncover the pump pickup under hard acceleration in the real world. At least in my mind. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
  10. Very nice build!
  11. Very nice!
  12. Well done!
  13. That's killer! The stance is spot on.
  14. I had the same idea a few years ago and did quite a bit of research on it. My post requesting info is probably still on the server. AFX is correct, but I could never get confirmation that the caps were for separate sides but I believe it to be true. This is the best pic I found that I could remotely trace the wires.
  15. Awesome project! Fantastic planning and fabrication!
  16. Scroll down to the W-12. Never bought from him but heard good things on FB. http://roncoon.com/wheels-tires
  17. Nice concept and work!
  18. Top-level fabrication work on this build! Awesome work, dunno how I missed it.
