  1. I may be able to help with records but itll take me a few days to do some digging as Im not sure what the cutoff year of one of my books is. I think its 1968 unfortunately . The rules may be a bit harder as my oldest rulebook is 07. let me see what I can find out on a few land speed groups Im in on facebook
  2. you have a rule book? If you need someone to look up stuff, I have an older book here. which reminds me, I need a new one actually since Im kind of planning a new 1:1 build
  3. i say build the 34 into a landspeed car...where a downsized 34 would fit right in haha
  4. LOVE that color. looks like it laid nice and flat too!
  5. that kind of torque would be an issue out there. With that said...GET CUTTING... I CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS!!!!!
  6. Amazing piece of ART Tim!!!!
  7. We need more land speed builds!!! Looks awesome, man I miss racing
  8. This may very well be the perfect f100...I feel I need to build it in 1:1 haha
  9. I literally just mocked up my 65 kit the other night to pick which wheels I wanted to run on my 1:1 65 haha
  10. youve literally shown every Comp Coupe I drool over whenever I think about building one to race haha
  11. shes had a few different wheels and looks in the past 23 years with me..about to go under the knife again for a late 60s/ early 70 drag car look to match its 14 to 1 compression 289
  12. no, my car is PPG Charcoal gray metallic lacquer over a dark gray primer, It was repainted in the late 80s. Car was originally the factory blue. I still have maybe half a gallon or so of it here in one of my cabinets
  13. looks like the same color my 65 is!
  14. CLEAN BUILD...My only advice is to not go back and redo them...Display them as they are and it will show how you progress through the years. I went back and redid my first kits (the ones I did with my father) and i no longer have any of them... I wish I did Otherwise, build as you see fit.
  15. Now IM gonna have to search the lego section!
  16. you know, a mini english wheel and planishing hammer would have done the same thing...haha I am constantly amazed at your work..I do this stuff in 1:1 scale and still cant get over it in scale...We also need more land speed projects around here!!!!
  17. LOVE IT...The Ford trucks of the 50s and 60s lend themselves so well to being customized.
  18. I have one of those Ebay Crosley bodies Im building as a 60s era drag car. I radiused in some wheelwells, and planned a blown FE ford motor so far. itll probably sit on my desk mocked up forever and a day haha If you havent yet, look up "Kamicrosley"...you wont be disappointed haha
  19. Now im gonna have to go buy one. looks awesome!!!
  20. where did you grab the tires from? BTW, love the paint! I use to race on the salt, and that Stude would fit right in!!!!
