I'm building a Fireball Roberts 64 Galaxy. I spent way too much time removing the chrome moldings and painting it. The body turned out real nice and I've been worried about decal installation, putting it off. Finally got nerve enough to try it today. The large #22 in the roof has a couple air bubbles under it. Unfortunately I didn't notice them till to late. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bob

I never thought of that, good idea! Bob

Gary I'm no expert by a long shot but almost all the wiring I see looks way out of scale to me. I've been using my wife's sewing thread. It looks much better to my old eyes. Bob

Thank you so much for that. Good idea. Bob

This was posted on Facebook a couple hours ago. Norman Verber will undergo multiple bypass surgery Friday or Saturday. Norman anticipates it will be several months before he can resume production. There is quite a bit more information but this old 2 finger typer would still be typing till midnight. Thanks, Bob

My own opinion on this move is they are in the early stages of doing away with pro stock as we know it. I welcome the change. Get the factories involved. Bob

Thanks guys. I also found 1/1 pictures and decided to fabricate 1. Shouldn't be too bad. Thanks Bob

Bill I haven't started on it yet. Just trying to collect parts. My plan is to build a modern super stocker. Bob

Thanks Mark. The SC Rambler is exactly what I'm trying to collect parts for. Bob

Having out of the hobby for 40+ years I'm not very knowledgeable about what's been offered for a long time. Has there ever been a cross ram available for AMC engines or is there one that could be used and look realistic? Thanks Bob

Stuart I think it turned out very well! Bob

I may be the odd man out here but I'd love to see another SC Rambler and maybe AMX. Bob

I tried the rubber bands and eventually I guess they got rotten and broke. I've since been using bread ties. Bob

They may have. It's been a long time since I've seen an original car. Bot those exhaust ports for sure aren't sbc. Bob

I'd also agree that's a Ford engine. Have you ever seen a Chevy engine with a front sump oil pan or that exhaust port spacing? Bob

Once again thank you.

Thank you Misha. That's exactly what I was looking for.

I used the search function and found many posts mentioning them but I can't find a source for them. Are they still available and where? Thanks, Bob

I think you may be mistaken on that one. Chevy didn't produce those heads until about 1961 or 62.

This car is looking killer! To make even more so shouldn't you cover that tunnel ram with a cut up beer 12 pack though? ?

I haven't done it for years but I used to use a hack saw blade, a hobby saw, or sometimes a Dremel tool with a saw blade in it. Takes patience though.

For you younger folks, cars weren't always delivered like this. My Dad graduated high school in 1936 and started working for a Pontiac dealer in Granite City, IL. Him and another young man would take a train to Detroit and drive a new car back while towing a second car. Thanks, Bob

Thanks David I actually did use tape. I really thought the Elmers glue would hold it but no. Thanks' Bob

Wow, never even gave this a thought. That would work very well. I don't know why but I've always been that way. I almost always over think something and never even give the most simple method a second thought. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Bob

These moldings are very thin and look to me like they would break very easily. How would you go about removing the chrome from only the back side?
