Back in the 60's you could buy white lettering and numbers to glue to the side of your tires to simulate raised white lettering. I did a quick search and you can still buy them. At Bed Bath and Beyond no less.

Ford did build cars during that time for the military, but that ambulance wasn't one of them . Note to self : Self, do more research before typing

When did they go from real wood on a Woodie to metal painted to look like wood? Fake wood

Right (Sorta)

The original HRL was built on a shortened 41 Lincoln Zephyr frame, The original version was actually painted black, but Charlie painted it red (a toyota color) to make it stand out better at car shows. Last I heard his son said it was in a museum somewhere in Washington state, it has been so long ago that I talked to him I don't remember all the details. "Charlie Ryan is a musician, songwriter and a car guy. In the late 1940s, he purchased a used 1941 Lincoln Zephyr four-door sedan. After a couple of years, he decided to make a hot rod out of it. He removed the Zephyr body, cut two feet off the frame to shorten the wheelbase and dropped a 1930 Ford Model A coupe body on it. At first, the car was painted black with red wheels. Charlie installed a '48 V-12 engine in it along with the 3-speed with overdrive '48 transmission." More info here: http://www.joesherlock.com/Hot-Rod-Lincoln.html

Is it me or are there snaps along the back chrome strip ? Are they for the "fake cover" that goes there when to top is down ?

The price in the picture is not correct , According to my latest price sheet it is $50 as it was posted in the post above

Maybe having a 'Split Window Convert is just compensating for a having a small "stinger"

R&M sells a Go Kart kit copied from the AMT 63 Ford P/U kit, $50

The Only car that it looks right on is the Stingray. In 63 drivers were complaining about the blocked vision so they came out with kits to eliminate the split. I bet a lot of owners ow wished they had the "split" back back.. I watched a conversion on Fantomworks where they put on a split window top on a convertible.

Sorta like this ?

I like it but I am in to "Gasser's" right now

Fireball Carbs are very nice, Several to choose from.

This is not the greatest example. It is my first attempt with them. But may give you a general idea of what the look like

Check out R&M ,Norm has a lot of flathead stock and performance parts

It has so many parts I did a search of images on how it is setup and found the a bunch like the ones I posted above. Seems like every month I send him another $50-$60 order LOL

I bought the Scot blower kit from Norm last month and will be ordering the the Ardun setup and manifold soon.

Shapeways has several different sets of heads in both 1/24th and 1/25th scale, R& M also carries a bunch of flathead heads and manifolds. https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace/miniatures/vehicles?type=product&q=flathead&s=52#more-products

sorry i asked

Is there any bumpers available for Track Nose Rods ?

Isn't there a tutorial on this somewhere ?

The 68 has different tail lights and did not have wing windows also

I believe Molotow is actually an ink product. I think for your application a rattle can chrome would work better and last better over time.
