  1. A boat used for circle racing usually have left hand steering as most race courses are left turn circuits. The thinking being that if the boat were to flip, the driver from the right hand driver position , would pass all the way from the right side to the left side exiting, through the hull on that side of the boat. Inboard ski boats tend to chine with the rotation of the engine, being run from either the front or rear of the motor. Clear as mud? Bob
  2. Don't give up just yet. You may really surprise yourself. I have no use of my left arm from birth and at times it is extremely frustrating, but if you take it a little slower there is always a way to overcome these situations. Best of luck in your recovery. Bob
  3. Where did you order them from? Thanks Bob.
  4. Done, a while ago.
  5. Right, so when someone sends me a PM, I come to the MCM web, & unless that person that sent me the PM happens to be online when I am online I would have no way to answer their PM?
  6. Thank you Peter. So unless the person that I am trying to reach is on the MCM forum , I have no way of getting their E-mail address in order to respond to them ? Bob.
  7. Hi: Apparently when someone P.M. s me I cannot just hit the reply button after I type in my response . I have sent out several yesterday but were never received by the person who sent it to me, as I guess I do not their E-mail address. How do I go about correcting this. Thanks Bob
  8. Here's a pic of those A.M.T. Coddington wheels from the 32. & what I put them on. Bob put them on.
  9. Clear coated with Pro-Form 4/1 two part clear, airbrushed. Thanks Bob.
  10. Ceramcoat thinned with windshield washer fluid and airbrushed.
  11. Hi CabDriver: ( Jim ) A few pics of brake drums. First 3 pics of Scenes Unlimited brake parts, drums, shoes, & axle kit. Very nice. Dark grey pics from Fujimi Porsche 356 B 1600s roadster kit. Pics # 1152/ 1153 /1154 are from the Revell 30 Model A Coupe Bob.
  12. Micro Mark. More money but , you get what you pay for.
  13. Thrift store find/ still factory sealed. $9.99
  14. Great work. Unbelievable detail. That rear fin thing is indeed called a cavitation plate, and the rear of the boat is called the transom. In the pic that you show the cavitation plate is adjustable while driving, some earlier flat bottoms had a stationary cavitation plate . In boat racing the more boat out of the water, the faster the speed. Also great colors. Thanks for posting . Bob
  15. Fantastic. So well detailed & that interior is outta the park.
  16. Well done. Bob
  17. Thanks again. Bob
  18. Thanks all for the kudos. The engine is the six from the AMT 51 Chev . In order to use the extra frame, you do need to make a couple of very simple crossover pieces. But I did build 3 complete cars from this kit. Thanks for your interest. Bob
  19. Built from the extra frame and body parts from Double Dragster flat tin metal kit.
  20. Great work , looks perfect. Bob
  21. Thanks to all . Bob
  22. Thanks Bob
