  1. Then there is the Horne manifold Possibly whats on the Kookie T
  2. You may be right about it being "Inspired By". Norm did lengthen the frame in front of the cowl 5 inches. It's original name was "The Lightning Bug"
  3. Looks nice, It looks like the headers have one to many pipes.
  4. I have been gathering the parts to build it. Starting off with the Monogram T Street Rod w/Trailer for body that will need some modification to look like the shortened touring body.. The bed is a model A bed , the Revell parts pack Caddy engine will be used. I still need to find the right frame that will need to be modified also. I have the Big & Little Skinnies Wide Whitewalls with Steel wheels and Baby Moon hubcaps from R&M. The exhaust pipes may be a challenge. I will have to do some tube bending. I also will be building two versions of Tweedy Pie. The original Bob Johnston version with the flathead and a later Roth version.
  5. As I remember, back in the y they would "glass in" the headlights. As in move the headlights to the grille and glass in the headlight covers. I know of one 64 that had the headlights glassed in, fenders flared, 427 hood scoop and a gold flake paint job. (which I need to duplicate for a friend). Trying to find pics of the headlights
  6. Good stuff , thanks for posting. I saved this video for future reference
  7. Looks great. I love Roth and Rat Fink. I have a signed RF T shirt somewhere around here.
  8. The 48 back end looks very close other than the tail lights and bumper. The bumper in the 41 kit will work but the tail lights are different.
  9. Read the first post first, the second post second, No need for a search'.. Both were interesting in their own special way
  10. I plan on using this kit for the starting point of my "Kookie T" build even comes with a skull shift knob.
  11. I bought these, Can order in different colors, already has threaded mounting hole. Comes in 4mm and 5mm. I got the 4mm. They are almost big for scale but they will work ok for what I need. Shipping was fairly fast to Oregon https://www.ebay.com/itm/5pcs-16g-14g-4mm-5mm-Threaded-U-V-Dice-Replacement-Specify-Color-Size/281249398282?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144
  12. Found them on ebay under dice piercing https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1311.R1.TR1.TRC0.A0.H1.Xpiercing+dice.TRS0&_nkw=dice+piercing&_sacat=0
  13. Thanks to info gained here. I got my "dice shift knobs" for my Tweedy Pie projects.
  14. Yes , I can make that work , Thanks
  15. I have a future project and find myself in need of a 4-2bbl manifold for a 331 Caddy mill. Already checked out R&M. Thought maybe someone might have cast one. Thanks
  16. Common courtesy goes a long way.
  17. Even with third party venders , $145 for a Dragula kit is over the top. I wonder how many they sell ?
  18. No kits in our stores. Just referring to online prices. Even with third party sales it seems way overpriced
  19. I bought my first bottle from him at a NNL show/swap meet here in Portland but have talked via email about a custom color so sometime in the future I will be getting one shipped. That was good shipping time to Georgia.
  20. Am out of the loop on model prices or is Walmart somewhat on the high side ? https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=0&page=2&ps=40&query=model+car+kits&typeahead=model#searchProductResult
  21. I just noticed several kits that were lacking steering boxes. The column would be easy enough to scratch build. None of my 64 Mopars have one amd some of the hot rods and others are lacking. As far as the decals I thought I would see if any aftermarket venders might carry them. I have a set from the Tweedy Pie II kit and I am not sure if they will be usable. If Not I will certainly be posting i the wanted section.
  22. Jon Seems a lot of kits do not include a steering box and column, I was wondering if any resin casters carried them ? I have seen master cylinders and other underhood items available but no steering boxes. (yes I did do a search first) 'Also looking for Tweedy Pie Decals

  24. Makes a big difference with the black wash. I will be de-chroming them and painting them yellow. I will use the entire engine out of the 40 Ford kit.
  25. Any more info on the Liquid Createx ??? part number ? I thought I knew most of the Createx products but I am not sure of this one. Thanks Jon
