DITTO ??? And the neat part, my step-grandfather had a real one that could have been the one you used as your reference. DJ

SCOTT Have the air cleaner, PM me address & zip code and will put it in the mail DJ

KEN Turned out totally first class DJ

In 2021, we moved from East Texas here to Central Kentucky, 750 miles one way. Prior to the move, I questioned many different friends "what" they would suggest..... JAMES2 suggested that I turn the plastic cases that I put my builds in, upside down, use the base as the lid, and use bubble wrap on the models to protect them. Basically 150+ models packed into ten large Wallyworld cardboard boxes, tossed on my 18ft trailer (tarped) and away we go. Not one was damaged!!!!! Would expect that with the right size "individual" cardboard boxes, and using the same bubblewrap method, you can have the same results. THANKS GO TO JAMES DJ

Great job on turning a simple kit into something to be proud of. On one of the forums I used to be an active member of, this very topic of the "steamroller" tires came up, and we had a couple different members post pictures from their local tracks with these tires being run. When I was writing the rules for some of our local dirt tracks, the STOCKS were limited to 275/60/15s, SUPER STOCKS to the HOOSIER S55/S34 & D55/D34S (as were the HOT STOCKS & LIMITED LATE-MODELS. And those Hoosiers looked BIG on those cars, but NOT anywhere as big as those Steamrollers DJ

KEN, Sure that you know, FRED made a bit of an "error" on the headers on this, flatheads only had 3 ports on each side (center port emptied both center cylinders), thus, only three pipes per side, a fact Fred learned after the box art was already done. FANTASTIC work so far DJ

Very impressive!!!! DJ

I have always liked the old AMT Double Dragster kit DJ

Super sanitary build. Like mentioned above, the underhood detail is really first class. DJ

Super clean build. 60s racecars are pretty much my favorite stuff, you did this one proud. DJ

Really turned out great, KEN. Always enjoy how you keep coming up with such unique subject matter. DJ

looking good KEN DJ

My thoughts exactly!!!! Dave was ALWAYS great to deal with, and his products were always 100 percent perfect. DJ

Closest thing that I am aware of, is JIMMY FLINTSTONE has a similar cab, very affordable. part number is NB339 and run $15 each DJ

I use a lot of RON's stuff myself..... REALLY like your build. Spent many a night watching this style of car, brings back lots of memories!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!! DJ

KEN Sorta like Alan, that really puts a smile on my face!!!! You were telling me about as you were building it, but it turned out way better than I imagined!!!!!! GREAT JOB BRO!!!! DJ

That is one very good looking Rig!!! Your attention to detail, and detail itself is definately FIRST CLASS!! DJ

when TRUCKS WERE TRUCKS!!!!! really a super decent looking rig, GREAT JOB!!!!! DJ

I'm with you Larry, GREAT NEWS to see the site back up and lookin' good!!!!! DJ

I "baby-set" a chain of auto parts stores from 1979 until we sold them out in 1992. Those years were pure joy to go to work, and with each transaction, you took care of the customer and SOLVED his problems. I went back into the parts market again in 2008 until retirement in 2018. HOW THINGS CHANGED!!!!! The "quality" of the parts was like rolling the dice..... OEM parts were even BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH in many cases. IE: One of the fuel pumps (mechanical) that I had sold for YEARS to different customers with "mild" small blocks for street/strip use, would barely put up 3 pounds of pressure now, where the earlier ones would put up 5-6 pounds out of the box, and the arm on these "newer" replacement pumps would have a half inch of play, which meant that the lobe on the cam for the fuel pump was lucky to even wiggle the arm on the fuel pump..... The last ten years were NOT MUCH FUN, you "defected out" SO MANY parts, and the folks that once "trusted you" to solve their issues lost faith in you and your products. Simple truth

I grew up spending the summers with my cousins and uncle Ed, going to races at Lions, Irwindale, Half Moon Bay, Bakersfield, and at tracks like Ascot, and at different car shows.... GEORGE KLASS REMEMBERS is such a "step back in time" for me, and having gone to the tracks in Oregon like Madras, Woodburn, tracks in Idaho like Thunder Ridge and Firebird International, and seeing pictures from all the various tracks, definately one of my favorite sites. THANKS AGAIN ROB!!!! DJ

ROB Man, you are the HERO of the day!!!!! At least a way to get back to the site!!!! DJ

Been trying to log in to his site, and some "foreign tribe" has some type of little "toy blocks" all over, and I can't get past them.......... something called PIXEL POSTS..... DJ

ONLY AN EDUCATED GUESS: looking at the 1963 NHRA rules, and taking into consideration that the 57 T-birds were shown to have a 3350 curb weight, the CM/SP class had a 10.00 to 15.99 pound per cubic inch rule........ The most probable engine would have been the 312 it came with. As to the carburation, would take someone with specific knowledge of this particular car..... Hope that helps some..... DJ

welcome back to the hobby, lotta good people around here. DJ
