  1. Hi Scott! Thank you for the compliments. You are right about the "nose-high" stance of the stock kit (and 1/1 car)... In this case, I lowered the front spindles about 2 mm, and the rolling stock combo sizes also helped to put a barely perceptible rake. Almost horizontal. Now, not to contradict you, but the two chrome dots on the cowl are the "studs" for the wiper arms. I chose to dispense of those, for aesthetic reasons... and put chrome caps over them, as many rod owners do. CT
  2. Ah, the sound of cracking wood (and varnish)! Here's my DEUCE DE MADERA. Stretched nose and fenders on a Speedwagon. CT
  3. Hi Steve! Thank you for the comments, happy you like it! CT
  4. US AND THEM famously sang Pink Floyd.
  5. Hi Paul! Thank you for the comments. Indeed, Ford toyed with a Mach2 concept, and also tested the KK 429 Boss you mention, but their engineers concluded that the effects on the overall handling of the car were not "worth the cost", in light of the very low volume expected. But we can dream... CT
