  2. KEN Well, that is definately COLORFUL & DIFFERENT!!!!!!!! First time I've ever seen one of those...... As usual, you did a very sanitary job on the build, TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!! DJ

  4. Nice job on the old Modified/Jalopy Ken!!!! Enjoy seeing the scratch-building!!!! DJ
  5. Just received an order from RON, these new headers were part of the order, absolutely FIRST CLASS!!!!! As always, RON is quick, accurate, an one of the BEST vendors I have dealt with. THANKS AGAIN RON DJ
  6. On an old forum that many of us were part of, {a "short track" forum}, the "owner" posted a building tip about using pill bottles with sandpaper wrapped around them to "finish" the wheelwells after the rough cut of opening them up. Just use it like a sanding drum by twisting it back and forth until you have your wheelwell perfectly contoured. As BOB related to DJ
  7. DITTO ??? And the neat part, my step-grandfather had a real one that could have been the one you used as your reference. DJ
  8. SCOTT Have the air cleaner, PM me address & zip code and will put it in the mail DJ
  9. KEN Turned out totally first class DJ
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Very impressive!!!! DJ
  14. I have always liked the old AMT Double Dragster kit DJ
  15. Super sanitary build. Like mentioned above, the underhood detail is really first class. DJ
  16. Super clean build. 60s racecars are pretty much my favorite stuff, you did this one proud. DJ
  17. Really turned out great, KEN. Always enjoy how you keep coming up with such unique subject matter. DJ
  18. My thoughts exactly!!!! Dave was ALWAYS great to deal with, and his products were always 100 percent perfect. DJ
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. That is one very good looking Rig!!! Your attention to detail, and detail itself is definately FIRST CLASS!! DJ
