I have both the CDs that they did of the SA issues. What article were you looking for? I can find it and save it as a PDF and email it to you. Steve A.

Hey Rich, If you happen to make it to the show, my friend Curt Raitz & I will have a table in the swap meet area, so stop by and say Hi. Curt will be selling his hand laced wire wheels & some kits, and I will be selling some of my custom decals, some 3D stuff and possibly some kits. Hope you will be able to make it to the show. Steve A.

The Desert Scale Classic Show is on Saturday April 13th. It is a fun show. I'm in Northern AZ, so I don't know about the hobby shops in that area. Steve A.

Brock, If you are just needing the green decals shown in your pics, I have them if you still need them. If you want to PM me your address I can mail them off to you. Steve A

If you saw John's post awhile back of the Radial Motorcycle build he did with Curt Raitz, I 3D printed the radial engines & some small parts for them, and John did a great job with those parts. You can see details of both their bikes here: Plus, John has used a couple of 3D printed bodies on some of his builds. I don't think it makes much of a difference to John if he is working in plastic or resin. Steve A.

No, I purchase a file of a 1/10th scale Chevy LS3 and a 4L60 automatic transmission for John, and scaled them to the sizes he needed and resin printed them. I have an Anycubic Photon Mono X6Ks printer. Steve A.

Greg has a Facebook group called Holy Grail Resin Model Parts that is is active with pretty much every day. If you have FB you might have try joining the group and post a message. I know he has been building a pretty good size shop at his house, so he has been busy with that. I think I had an old email address for him, but you might get a faster response through his FB group.

I did some research on the car for John to figure out some details for the engine and decals, and the body was done by Luc Deley of Marcel's, but the body isn't steel, it was made out of aluminum. There are quite a few pics of the car online where it was displayed at like SEMA in raw aluminum. Steve A.

There is a guy that posts on Facebook that I've seen has some 3D printed Funny Car bodies, and they can be printed at different scales. His page on Facebook is Frankie's Hobby & Horror Shoppe, and he also has a website at: https://frankies-hobby-horror-shoppe.square.site/s/shop . I don't know what bodies he actually has, but I did see a recent post with a Chevy S10 Pro Stock or Pro Mod, and a 70s Mustang. My friend John Teresi recently had a custom car body done in 1/25th & 1/16th scale, and was really happy with how they turned out. He has bought several bodies from him and says the quality is really nice. You might try checking him out to see what he has. The only other company I know of doing 1/16th scale resin bodies is Competition Resins, but they don't list a lot of bodies. https://ecsvr.com/cpr/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=5&cat=resin+bodies+1%2F16 Steve A.

I have that kit also, but haven't started it yet myself. Looks like you are off to a nice start. I also bought the 3D files to print one too, I want to see about doing one at 1/25th scale. Steve A.

Brandon, I sent you a message about the decals, and yes they are still available. Steve A.

Thanks for the responses. I happen to come across one of the current owners Facebook page and sent him a message to see if he could help me out. When I messaged him he was going to the Nitro Revival Show at Irwindale Speedway and then was going to to another show at Pomona, and said when he was back home in AZ would get in touch with me. Steve A.

Hello, Would anyone happen to have a good sharp picture of the back area of the Flamin Frank Pedregon Fiat Coupe tribute build that his sons built? I was asked by a friend to see about making up some 1/12th scale decals, and I've found some good pics online showing the lettering on the nose and roof of the car, but the only pics I can find of the back of it aren't clear enough to make out all of the letting. Attached is some of the pics I've found and some of the lettering I've been able to figure out so far. If anyone happens to have a good pic they can share, or any guesses to the rest of the lettering, that would great. Also, on a few of the pics there is a decal on the lower cowl area that I can tell says "Speedsports" on it, but I haven't been able to find a good example of that decal. Has anyone every seen one of these decals before? Thanks for any help with this. Steve A.

SK Decals did several different decal sheets for that model, and you can find some on the Hiroboy website, and might find some on eBay. You might also check out Patto's decals to see if they offer any. Their website can sometimes be a little hard to search through, but they do a lot of decals for race cars.

I've watched the first season of that show, and it was pretty good. I hope you have some luck replicating the car. It is interesting that on the IMCDB website they list the car as a 1974. Steve A

The guy that runs 3D Scale Parts offers a 3D printed body in several scales, including a 1/25th scale one: https://www.3dscaleparts.com/product-page/1-25-uncertain-t-inspired-show-rod-body I saw some of his bodies a few years ago at the NNL West Show, and at the Desert Scale Show, and they looked really nice. I've bought a few of his small parts, and they have all looked really good and no problems getting the parts. Steve A.

Your build turned out really nice Chris. I don't know if you saw the build that Curt Raitz did, but he built his to match the real car. I helped him out with the decals. Curt has built several models of the Kindigit cars, I know he did the 50 Phantom Fleetside, the 55 Nomad and the Galaxie. I can't remember if there was any more. Steve A.

I was really looking forward to being at the show, but unfortunately I can't make it this year. I got pneumonia at the end of February and my doctor recommended that I not attend the show till I can get my immune system boosted back up. My friend Curt Raitz will be there and have a table in the swap meet area. I hope they have a really good turn out and someone takes lots of pics. Hopefully I will be able to make the next show. Steve A.

I'm not sure, I contacted the seller and he said he had the kit for awhile, so it could have just got misplaced. Here is a link to the 3D files of the Warthog I mentioned above. It comes in a 1/16th and 1/32nd scale, but you can adjust it to fit what scale you want or need: https://www.gambody.com/3d-models/warthog-m12b-halo They also offer a pretty nice Maser Chief figure that could be scaled to go along with the Warthog: https://www.gambody.com/3d-models/halo-master-chief A little harder to print at a larger scale, but they also have a D77 Pelican flyer: https://www.gambody.com/3d-models/d77-pelican Steve A.

Nice job. I picked up one of these kits off eBay, but unfortunately when I got it the windshield was missing. So I need to see if I can make one up, or I found a 3D file for sale & maybe scale it and make a vacuform piece. Steve A.

that turned out very nice. For tire decals you might want to check out Indycals, they have a pretty good selection of tire decals. https://www.indycals.net/decals/tires.html I've bought several decal sheets from them, and always had great service and really nice decals. Steve A.

That turned out really nice. I wish a model company would do that car in plastic. Steve A.

Those wheels came out really nice. The SR2 looks good too, it would be nice to see one of the later SR2's with the headrest/fin behind the driver. Steve A.

I thought of something else if you want a challenge instead of painting the Corvette yellow. Scalemotorsports makes a couple of decal sets for the C7R Corvette, and there is a lot of decals to do if you chose to get one. I bought both of his decal sets, and like the trans kit that I almost have done, these two are at about the same stage of completion. Here is the links to the decals from Scalemotorsports: https://scalemotorsport.com/collections/templated-carbon-fiber-decal-sets/products/c7r-full-carbon-jacket-cft https://scalemotorsport.com/collections/camouflage-waterslide-decals/products/pratt-miller-test-mule-full-camo-body-wrap Steve A.

I'm glad I could help you out with this build. Wait till you see some of the other stuff John has been working on. Steve A.
