  1. The engine looks So good planted between those Rails Awesome, just Awesome. I think the brass hardware would look better against the Aluminum Chris did you see the Addendum to my post #2492 about the paint color?
  2. Exactly I would think that Rodas would be Focused more on the driving, if he would have been doing that type of stunt driving. But thats just what was read, it kind of fits with the Joyride aspect, and I feel it would be a little far fetched to think that you could lose control on such a basic maneuver, Rodas probably learned figure 8's on day one of professional race car driver school. It would be good if there was security camera footage to show exactly what transpired. Just to help end the Speculation.
  3. Another article I read reported that there were tire skid marks in figure 8 and donut patterns police could Not confirm that they were from the Porsche
  4. The problem is most of the stacks available seem to be flared out to much. Bill you should try wire termination ferrulles used in electronics those could be flared by hand.
  5. RIP Paul Walker. My condolences to your Family.May they find some peace in this Unbelievable tragedy. My 16 year old son and I, have enjoyed the F&F movies, and were looking forward to the next one.
  6. Whether its just down the street at the LHS, or if you are in a remote location on a Safari,Foriegn countries. How do you get outfitted with tools, plastic strip, Cars Truck, or Planes. Some of us in the U.S.A may have to travel, some people just mail order everything.
  7. She looks very good.
  8. Ok Bill that's exactly what I was looking for.
  9. Building a 392 with a Blower, the fuel injector block has four ports on the right side, where would those be plumbed too? I realize they would be ending up at some sort of fuel block, but couldnt find good images on google. It would be four rubber hoses exiting the Injector. Not steel lines like modern race cars.
  10. I just switched over to the E-Bay channel, and searched. There are two for sale, with diffferent front end Variations. They are No where near as nice, and clean cast as this one. This also happens to be a complete curbside kit with interior floor, seats dash, wheels, and tires.
  11. Hi All I need some help ID'ing this resin piece
  12. My issues with the BMF is having it stick and lay down properly around vent windows. Lately I have been rescribing trim areas, before I paint which has help quite a bit at trimming during the foil stage.
  13. AMT Pontiac catalina should be very similar. All BOP cars were interchangeable in the early years. You might look at the Revell 50 Oldsmobile as well
  14. I may try to give snake racing a call tomorrow to see if they can help me. The best would be to be able to get a paint code for the color. And when I did this spray sample, this was just the base coat over the spray out chart with no clear. Good luck with that. I remember meeting Don at Beeline dragway in Arizona. During the 70's He wasn"t a real nice guy back then.
  15. I have used Citadel scull white. Primer its under $20 dollars and in a large can. Still expensive but you maybe get a little more
  16. Who Did the Decals for you? I have one these kits, and would like to build it with 7/UP decals, like when they had the "Up Yours Campaign".
  17. That engine looks very good
  18. Bill After work today, I can post pics of the interior parts. Just to give some of the highlights, of what would be ahead.
  19. I saw a Renwal Submarine cutaway model at the Local hobby shop yesterday. Now I am curious.
  20. I think the green portion of the decal may get lost. In the base color. But I like the car buildup
  21. Would you want something with that type of weld, 'top picture" rolling down the Highway. Next to, or in front of your Family sedan?
  22. I dont think any of those colors are going to work. Chris in your very first picture of the real car from the front, you can see the metallic in the paint, where the fender comes over the rear deck close to the spoiler. The sun is just blazing there.The other side views make the paint look flatter and quite a bit lighter. Your darkest color to me looks best but does not have the Metallic brilliance shine. IMHO the boxart photo color blue, could be a better match in a metalic. I had a leave it to Beaver moment today and Thunk about it some. Tamiya Mica blue over the dark base could work for the color you want.
