My message box is full so I need to delete about 100 of them. Needless to say, I am not good with computers. Thanks in advance.

Wow! I can't thank you guys enough! Especially the photos of the dual-supercharger intake, keyser. But thanks to everyone who made comments.

When building up the Avanti using the 2 superchargers, it looks like it is missing the intake manifold. It seems the "missing" manifold should look like a dual-quad manifold. Any comments would be great. Thanks

Again, thanks ever body!

OK; thanks ever body! This '64 Dodge 330 "Dodge Charger", I think I'm going to build it with the strait-axle (unless I get alot of hate mail!). I just won't put "Dodge Charger" on the side. I think there is a 'saying' among car-modelers, "if you thinks it's cool, it is cool"! Thanks again.

I had in mind the "Dodge Chargers" that were supercharged. And Landy's was the one with the strait axle. The photo of the "Hodges Dodges Ramcharger" at Detroit Drag Way looks to me like it has a strait axle because it is so narrow. I appeal to DaddyFink. In all these photos there is pictured a '64 Ramcharger and a '65 Ramcharger. I welcome any and all comments ('cause I'm a big boy!)

In the '60s, the Ramcharger team, I think from California, built 3, I believe, of these light weight vehicles using strait front axles. I've heard that these axles came from the Dodge van like the one used in the "Little Red Wagon". I have both these kits but the axle from the "L.R.W." looks pretty narrow. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks. P.S. I heard that all 3 of these vehicles were crashed in short order. One was restored I think. It had a 3-tone paint job.

Thanks a bunch, aurfalien!

Any body have any comments on this kit and/or this car? I am looking at buying one off of ebay.

I made mine out of 3/4" plywood - If you get a helper you can use 1/2". Also I used a 150 CFM used or surplus furnace fan. These furnace fans are cheap, $25, but the shipping is high. You can design yours around a particular size furnace-filter, which are also cheap. If you build your own, you can make it relatively large. And I would recommend 2 150 cfm fans. I paid a guy to run the ducting to the outside; It is just clothes-dryer type ducting. If you go online you will be able to find articles on the theory of spray-booths. Read thru these articles and they will give you all kinds of ideas. By the way, furnace fans are perfectly safe; I think they are called 'squirrel-cage' type fans.

Thank you so much you guys!

ProTech 5-point racing harness hardware requires seatbelt material that is 2 mm wide. What to use? I have heard vinyl can be used. Any pointers? Thanks

Probably somebody has used these. I've heard that vinyl material can be used. Also what do you use for brand name labels or decals on something this narrow? 'Preciate it.

Dear 'exotics builder': thank you for your kind reply. And Mr. Hakan: I am almost overwhelmed by all the info you sent me! Is it not amazing this "Model Car magazine" forum we have? Thank you, thank you!

I wonder if anyone has any ideas or suggestions in this regard? Thank you.

On (most) Top Fuel engines, there is a "stick-like" thing poking out from the cam-drive area of the engine. I guess they are various combos. of fuel pumps and water pumps and oil pumps. I am specifically building a Hilborn injected early funny car hemi engine with the tall stacks. I think 'Teds Modeling' has some schematics available but not a dry-sump oiling system. Anyway, thanks for reading my meandering message.

I have recently read or heard that bleach will remove paint from styrene; I do not know about resin. I am thinking maybe "Bleche White" tire sidewall cleaner. I do not have space at my place for a permanent 'basin' of the "purple pond". The Castrol material seemed to be very inefficient. Oven cleaner seems pretty efficient but is it too strong? Thanks.

How do I search on ebay for "already built junk collections"? What key word would I use to find these on ebay? Yup, I need more junk! Thanks

I want to edit the title of a post I have running now. Thanks

I am going to check with modelhaus right now.

This kit has a very nice actual Hurst Olds 442 hood with the snorkels, but underhood, it is missing the proper "air cleaner" seal. Anybody know what I am talking about? I wonder if any resin pieces were ever made to correct this 'scoop seal'? Thanks for reading my post.

OK, you guys; thanks again. I think this thread can now be closed.
