Well this could be what irks you too. Everything done in our house was not only done by someone who had no idea what they were doing but must be eventually undone. I've looked at having some work done but at over $100/ hour for even "handyman" work, that won't be happening. So, taking out the spaghetti plumbing under my wife's sink and adapting the proper kit, involving a hacksaw and $16 for the kit and 48 minutes of labor... I saved myself $100+. Now if everything was this easy. ?

European/British style?

Very cool Baja. Great details all the way around.

I love the numbers on this, very cool looking.

That Ferrari kit is beautiful. Cool.

It's been great to follow your build, I don't see why you can't bring it along...

Love the four carb set up, like the early Edelbrock (I think) set up.

Love the look of this, those wheels are great.

I've gotten most of everything needed for this build. Revell 29 roadster on the Revell 31 Woody frame, most of the 31 suspension except for the tubular axle and solid radius rods from the Atlantis repop of the C1132 parts pack. Louvered trunk from the 32 5-window kit. Artillery wheels and tires from Forward Resin. The 4 banger from the 31 Woody kit. Still need to order the Hallock windshield and headers from RMoM. Deciding between the stock grill or a track grill.

So joining in?

Just building up supplies...so much still needed.

Unlike the East Coast, the California Drags have no rules regarding fenders. A couple pics from online when it was at Santa Barbara and a video from 2022.

And Zuckerberg creating our reality, sans legs...

"Have" and "have-not" is a poor way or judging one's contribution or value.

Welcome to the Races!

Wow

I've read a couple threads about bad experiences with casters/vendors and I appreciate the heads up but I wanted to start one about the really positive ones. I recognize almost all of these are either really small ventures or side projects and done out of a passion for this hobby. So...to start it off. Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. What else can be said about Norm? A must for early hot rod and Custom builds. Excellent quality, good communication and tolerant of way too many questions as I whittled down my order to an amount I could justify. I could definitely spend an entire paycheck. Forward Resin. Great quality, excellent communication and Casey was extremely helpful with a small order. His artillery wheels are amazing and I'm just bummed he didn't have enough demand to keep casting them. Drag City Casting, Ed Fluck Jr. has some great pieces available and cool bodies that nobody else casts. Great man to deal with, when I first started before I left, my 1st resin was bought from his father, who I'm sure is looking down rightfully proud. VCG Resin by Reese. I've placed 2 small orders. Reasonable prices, fast shipping and excellent pieces. Josh has responded to questions about availability and it sounds like some cool pieces, engines are in the works. A really cool guy. ...and I know most of his stuff is for himself but I can't say enough about the louvered 32 hoods by @68shortfleet Jason Lookabill. Great man to deal with and really nice work.

Thanks... I have a couple pieces of Chris', he does great work.

Are those the RMoM gas tanks?

Godley and Creme, I've loved them since my early 20s...

If at all possible I'd love a better view of the Fenton headers...

Wow. This is looking great, love the magnesium wheels and the "Sta-Lube" decals. I really hope my 29 ends up looking half as good. Charles

Tools and sandpaper. Next will be glues and paints...it's fun starting over!
