How many pictures did you try to add to your post?

Has that now changed?

What does a whiskey jug look like?

Please, keep going. Lots to learn here. I am still mesmerized by the 55,000 rpms.

No, just the big 'n' little radials.

Gorgeous paintwork, Zed.

That is gorgeous. I love how you did the trim band on the armrests, too. Brilliant.

This page has a basic diagram showing how the turbine engine works, too: http://www.autoconcept-reviews.com/cars_reviews/howmet/howmet-tx-lm-1968/cars_reviews-howmet-tx-lm-1968.html 57,000 rpm

Step One: Locate turbine engine. CHECK:

I just picked up the MPC Can Am Buyer's Choice re-issue, and their do appear to be extra parts from the coupe (Mark I?) version still on the sprues. The instruction sheet was a direct copy of the original, too, so not much help there. Thanks for all the help so far. I'm learning about turbine engines on the fly.

I doubt that version will be reissued for a long time, with both the convertible and coupe currently available. Keep your fingers crossed and maybe in October at iHobby Revell will have something to announce.

That's the one I was thinking of which was in Hot Rod or PHR in the early '90s. Nothing says late '80s/early '90s Pro Street exhaust like a set of Supertrapp "disc" mufflers.

Zora Arkus-Duntov..."father" of the Corvette. The "Z" in Z28 came from Chevy's (maybe GM's) RPO (regular production option) codes list, not Arkus-Duntov's first name. Vince Piggins was the main force behind getting the '67 Z28 approved and into production. Check out Michael Lamm's excellent "The Great Camaro" book for plenty of first and second generation Camaro info. Worth every penny:

Any update on this one, Jason?

...and then, Jeff?

Now you've got a good reason to paint it pink .

I see now there were two versions, a coupe and a spyder, but they're both fascinating vehicles. I wonder what it's like to ride inside one... [media=] Here's a good image showing how the output shaft and trans are connected, too:

I got two things today. First, I got to meet fellow MCM member and one heck of a nice guy Mike Scheve (aka, "mikemodeler" here) at Model Empire, where I also picked up a Model Car Garage p/e fret for the Revell '69 Dodge Dart GTS kit:

What this guy said. ^^^ I was at Model Empire today and saw at least 25+ packages of various Shabo tire lettering dry transfers.

Yep, same kit. I guess I need to do a bit more research as to how the turbine connects to the transmission, but it should work fine for what I have planned.

The Can Am engine is what I need, but looking at the instruction sheet, they way the engine's output shaft and the trans mate seems very odd? Hard to say, as my turbine engine experience is pretty much non-existent.

The steering knuckle on each spindle will be in a different/higher position if you swap the spindles side-to-side, which will cause steering linkage interference, and probably other issues. The steering is posable as long as the "tips" of each spindle are not glued to the control arms. The separate steering linkage connects both steering knuckles, so as long as they remain linked, both front wheels will "turn" and be posable. I would suggest removing the spindles, and reattaching them higher up.

Does anyone have assembled pictures of the Can Am kit's engine? I think this engine is what I am looking for...

Me, too. Heck, all of the Tom Daniel designed choppers and trikes. All we've gotten so far is the Popper Chopper mini-bike chopper.
