Ron, yes this was at the LIAR's show and thanks for the kudos. Glen

Ouch! Well Tim I guess it's true that no good deed goes unpunished. Chalk this up to experience I suppose. Hope there won't be anymore surprises. Glen

Tom, that's a nice clean build right there. Glen Powers

OK, let me try this again but with the missing pictures from my original post?. As I said this is my most ambitious and detailed project to date. Thanks for checking it out again and questions and/or comments are OK. Glen

Thanks Tim. Southern Motorsports Hobbies is another source for tubbed chassis, they do not have as many to choose from but they do come with the rear suspension (link is below). I have not used them personally but will most likely try one on a future build. I have a bunch of the Revell pro street Chevelle kits and am torn between back halfing a kit chassis or save the time and effort and go with one of the resin offerings. http://stores.smhracing.com/smh-resins/ Glen

Tim, I checked out his ebay site. Looks like he has a nice variety of chassis there. Noticed none seem to come with rear suspension but a few had a sellers note to use the Revell 67 Chevelle Pro Street parts. Is that what you used, and did you need to modify it? Thanks, Glen

No I don't feel it is considering how well it pulls the air thru. Glen Powers

I have the Super Mini Plus model with the light built in and separate fan and light switches. It's a high quality, rugged product for sure. I primarily airbrush Tamiya lacquers and it removes all traces of paint fumes. I 'm more than satisfied with this unit and feel it's worth the money. Glen Powers

Sounds like a great project. I'm also a big stock/super stock fan. As far as the intake goes your thinking of going with the sheet metal type would be correct (like the Hemi cars). You would also need to use the original carbs for the year, model, and engine. Where did you get the resin tubbed chassis, and are you happy with the quality? Also the source for the wheels? Good luck with your build. Glen Powers

Good news indeed. All of the factory stock cars are very popular (Cobra Jet, COPO, and Drag Pak) especially with younger fans. Hopefully one of the mfg's would consider adding the extra parts needed to turn their existing kits into versions of these cars. Glen Powers

IMHO the 5 point harness from Pro Tech model parts is fairly easy to assemble and looks realistic. Check it out. Glen

Rich the ones I've used had the pattern printed on clear decal film. Yes they do go on like any other decal. Check the part number you have at the Scale Motorsports web site and look at the "details" for that sheet. That should clear it all up, good luck.

I'm also happy with the purchase. I followed their PC/Windows instructions and it loaded fine. The search feature alone makes it worth it to me also the space it freed up in my model room was a big plus.

David, thanks for the reply. I use the rear bumper to position the chassis front to rear and glued at the rocker panels and just ahead of the front wheel opening. It worked just fine but I would have felt better if there was a molded in locating point. Glen

It seems to me that the instructions are a little vague about the position of the chassis/interior to the body. There are no positive location points molded to either so I wondered what other builders might have done. Also where you found the best places to glue the chassis to the body? I'm thinking the rocker panels and at the front fenders but would be grateful for any advice. Thanks in advance, Glen

Heading to Quebec City for vacation and was wondering if there are any hobby shops worth checking out. Thanks, Glen

No problem, plenty of that on hand. Thanks to all who responded. Glen

I was wondering what the consensus is on a thinner for airbrushing decanted Plastikote primer? Thanks in advance. Glen

Neil, Now that's some great holiday news, good for you. Glen

Thanks Neil, Hope your doing/feeling well. Glen

Thanks to all for the welcome and Charlie for your kind words. Glen

I will soon be ordering a GREX TG and was wondering what size nozzle you're using especially with the fan-tip. Also are you happy with it or if you had it to do over would you go to a different size. Thanks

Hello, I'm mainly interested in sportsman class drag cars, primarily stock & super stock (even though I take forever to finish one). I've been visiting this forum for a while and thought it was time to sign up. Thanks, Glen Powers
