    You might also check out the current listing for the BLUEBIRD 1933 record breaker FPPM from Fernando Pinto Portugal he also sells wheel and tire sets on the side.

    Ouch! Had no idea the prices were that extreme. Yes, the V12 in back was my first concept with injectors, second really after 5 Strmberg 97s, all scratch built around a Monogram Ford Flathead block.

    My fantasy take on a Lincoln flat head with Ardun heads and a 6/71 Potvin setup. 1/8 scale. May someday power a Bonneville streamliner. No not really chrome but a nice polished aluminum look, and durable. It looks like the Revell chrome is the best bet.

    another option... On the big intake tubes I used Tamiya Bright Silver spray and over coated that with the Tamiya "Semi-gloss Silver Anodized Aluminum". The seemi gloss is like a clear coat and durable to the touch.

    search under Golden Arrow Wheels.

    Show nuff, just horsing around.

    Automobiles aren't nearly as Auto as Musk would have you believe.

    These are on ebbay, 1/24 scale for the Golden Arrow and Bluebird.

    James, if you are going for the early 30s look there are also sets of tires and wheels that were used on both the Golden Arrow and Bluebird.

    Mind over matter doesn't seem to get my models done!

    Not exactly my #1 (that is already stated) but I am sure this one is the fave of many others... John Milner's 32 from American Graffiti.

    Another option for LSR tires would be Indy racing wheels and tire combos available in cast resin, available at certain on line auction site.

    Hi Curtis, I got to the forum and your build WAY too late and most of your build pics are lost. Love this car and am working out the details for my own model. Must say you did a stellar job of building it. Thanks.

    Around about now we are wondering,Where are the people who are supposed to be watching our backs?

    Implications of a Free Willie are that it won't be nearly as useful as advertised.

    Donuts magically appeared on the local street intersection after a night of racing engines and smoking tires!

    A friend recently gave me his old Vac-u-form. I was dismayed that the vacuum was created by pushing down a leaver that moved a piston under the table/platen. The least they could have done is have an optional hookup for moms Electrolux!

    Projects, Projects, Projects, they'll never end if I don't start them!

    A few closeups from a Chevy Fleetline I saw near work and had to document.

    A lot of scammers are using this tactic to get your information... Beware!

    I have had the same problem with the amber on my lenses and won't do that again. I am wondering if, with the bond failure if the surfaces were rough sanded and a light scoring with a blade to give the surfaces a 'tooth' before epoxy application would help. There would be some release agent on most plastic parts.

    Favorite is Professor Fate's Hannibal Twin 8 with the Lesley Special as a close second.

    Will it come in stainless steel?

    Donny did a great job of fixing the USPS last time he was in office so it really doesn't need more help. Though maybe Elon has a few suggestions.
