    The sedan was converted to an altered wheelbase car. First they moved just the rear axle forward, then the front. There was more money in match racing, so that's why they modified it.

    I just received my first order of parts from Canuck 3D. I was amazed at the level of detail, and that doesn't happen often.

    Neat, I like it.

    The only benefit in my opinion is enamels aren't as weather sensitive. Not enough reason for me to switch from lacquer base.

    Thanks

    I don't know about others, but I have never had any trouble with old J-N-J sheets. Have several that I plan to build.

    Per your question about asphalt or dirt, I guess it could be either, but the tracks that run them within driving distance are paved.

    It is a J-N-J sheet. It would have come with a black and white placement sheet the size of the decals and would have been packaged in a clear sleeve with a paper with their logo stapled on the end. Early on they were the only game in town.

    Sort of new to the 3D aftermarket. Do you have a website that I can go to.

    I don't know, might be neat to see what Pierre would do with the TV car

    Like Radretireddad said above, got started as a kid in the 60's. I build mostly Nascar. Quit watching it years ago, so I sorta relive the past building and researching my projects , which lately have been leaning towards the independent drivers.

    Here in the South, a lot of of the local tracks run a "Moonshiners" division using the Crown Vic or Grand Marquis. Pretty much the same modifications as you described. Maybe a simple roll cage and racing seat. Plus they usually have a claim rule to keep the cost low. Looks like it will be a fun build.

    There's one in the Thunderbolt kit, maybe someone has a leftover they could send you.

    Steve, thanks, I was afraid of that but hopeful. Bill, that is a great idea, the wheels I am doing look like the ones you did.

    I am doing rebuild where unpainted wheel became soft around the outside rim from being in contact with the tires. Anything I can do to reverse this and save the wheels. Thanks

    I like the stripes like they are, subtle, but there.
  17. Shark
    Basically the same as Steve. I paint with gun metal or cast iron paint, mist red primer like he described, then a coat of dullcote

    That frame works well with a number of early 60's Ford products. I am putting under a 64 myself, only the stock body to make a Nascar. I used it under a 62 and will do so when I get around to the 1963 I plan to do

    I agree with Steve. If it would lower the cost, a plain white box with black lettering would suffice. I am sure most have seen box art that says the kit built on the artwork photo was modified or used additional parts.

    I do like Bainford recommended, use .020 square and liquid cement it in place. After thoroughly drying, wet sand over the added strips, this will round the corners.

    If you find the decals, please post some new pictures and let us know where you got them. I'm in the same situation
  22. Shark
    The rear tires look like more recent Revell parts pack items

    If you airbrush, you can get it from MCW. The former owner was friends with Arnie and did several builds for him. So he had all the correct colors.

    Thanks guys. I hate that they are not having it. I only get to go to 2 shows a year, that being one of them. Ricky, see you are a vet, Thank you!

    Does anyone know when the Clemmons show is, I know it's coming up. Forgot who was putting it on or else I would go to their website. Thanks
