  1. This quick reference might be helpful for you.
  2. Bringing this thread back back. I ran across the following webpage while researching this topic as I've been looking for a suitable replacement tire for the Gunze Sangyo 250 GTO. https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/classic-car-tyres/ferrari/250-gto.html?cc=8u01n7vo4o9duarqe6uulcn3vh-1743715744 I just received these tires from Jack Modelling today. I currently have them in the sun to finish post curing. I'll pull the wheels off my completed 250 this weekend to see how they fit. They're supposed to be 1/24th scale to fit the Fujimi but my initial reaction leaves me concerned they might be smaller than I had hoped for. FYI shipping was surprisingly fast and cost effective from France so I wouldn't hesitate to order from him again.
  3. If you're on FB, please drop by the event and let us know if you're planning to come and anything you might bring with you. https://www.facebook.com/share/1BFmWZn7VG/
  4. I didn't want wheelie bars, so I built this slip joint chassis beginning with a kit from 540 Outlaws. I installed it under a Moebius '69 F100 long box in order to keep the interior intact. Dancing Bear wheels. I added a 3d printed electric motor (I mean it's powered by electricity after all ) and customized the interior with some late model Mustang bits and a scratch built center console. I decided to create a custom cowl style hood because both the piece in the box and the replacement I was sent were warped.
  5. I nabbed a couple F-350 pickups a while back and figured this guy needed to lose some weight. With the popularity of these trucks in real world drag racing, I was toying around with the idea of using a set of bead lock wheels and drag radials that I printed.
  6. That's really unique. I like it!
  7. These two are probably my favorites. Sorry for the weird angle but the Daytona coupe is Exoto and Shelby Collectibles GT-40. I picked up some gumball decals to add numbers on the GT-40. I'm not sure why they weren't on there to begin with, but I picked it up second hand. Anyone have any idea why it may not have come with numbers, such as a unique version or something?
  8. South central WI. No club affiliations.

  11. Yes, he was very helpful. He sent out replacement parts and refused payment.
  12. Is Model Builders' Warehouse still around? Their website says it'll be back soon, and Randy seems to have ghosted me. On the other hand, I was able to reach Harold and resolved my concerns with him directly. What a nice gentleman and he quickly offered to send me some replacement parts!
  13. Good afternoon. I just wanted to touch base on the requested Daytona Coupe windows, Randy. I received your email on March 2nd stated that you'd be able to acquire the replacement parts and I responded within 30 minutes to confirm that I'm happy to pay for any replacements and/or shipping. I followed up again a month and a half later. Can you please let me know what the status is on those parts? Thank you for your time.
  14. Hey folks. I ended up trying the black automotive bumper repair stuff. It did a great job of adhering to the tire but it's quite thick which made it difficult to use in a small area. It got a bit messy but I was ultimately able to get the sidewalls to look respectable. I sealed them with a matte acrylic clear and painted flat black. I'm not completely happy with way yhe tread and sidewall detail looks. So, I ordered some black, rubber-like resin for my 3d printer. Now I just need to figure out how to draw up a CAD file. I included a pic of how it looks right now. I'm still finishing up some final details and I've come up with a plan for the headlight lens I'll post later. Thanks again!
  15. Thank you for your response, Randy. I replied to your email as well.
