We will be vending once again this year.. Should be the exact same spot as last year.. I will also be at the Friday night grub fest..

Ross Gibson engines just released another great engine.. The description from Ross Gibson.. Pontiac "Super Chief" Funny Car Engine Keep your Pontiac Funny Car project ALL Pontiac, with supercharged nitro burning horsepower from the Arrowhead division. It's not just the Fords and the Chevies any longer, as you can now build your TransAm, GrandAm or GTO fiberglass funny with Pontiac power. The kit comes with detailed engine block, high-speed Lenco transmission, deep competition oil pan and matching intake with supercharger. Wide flexible blower drive belt is included, along with photoetched wire looms and barrel valve linkage.

Thought I asked before but didnt remember.. For a younger guy my memory is poop.. If you come up with something let me know or we can all just take over a spot somewhere in the hotel. Tom.. You know you want to come out.. Nothing like doing shows every weekend.. Thats guessing your heading up to Detroit like usual the following weekend..

Mike.. Cant wait for the show. Is there a get together the night before at the host hotel?

Some more goodies came in the mail today.. First the new issue of MCM came in.. Perfect shape i might add.. Also Got my resin from shucky and Some aluminum from Bob D.. Sent in the money order for the aluminum last Tuesday and got the aluminum today Talk about fast..

Zuk.. I like that grill on the primer one.. Ill have to find out what kit that came from.. Speaking of dodge vans.. this came in the mail today.. a recent ebay win.. and from joe..

Huh?? The s-10 ss was more then a dress up package..The ss had a lowered suspension, aluminum wheels, body colored bumpers, and the 4.3v-6. I have never seen an ss with a 4 cyl in it. The ss was replaced by the extreme and that was a body kit, wheels, and lowered suspension and a big chunk of those came with the 4cyl..

No real construction going on right now that I know of.. AT least on 75. I will let you know tomorrow if I see any elsewhere when i drive down for setup.. Yes Tom 5 at the door.

Bummer Steve.. Bring it for the UC table.. I managed to finish my project of coarse it was already painted just had to be slammed together.. See you all on Sat..

That forum is for members of MCBA only. Its kinda like a private club house for the club to discuss goings on. MCBA is a great club with lots of really great builders in it but they are very selective of who they let into the club. Its nothing personal against you on them not letting you onto the forum it just they keep it closed to the general public to let them handle club business and what not. FYI.. Im not a member of the club nor do i speak for them. So take what was said above with a grain of salt. I am however friends with most of the members and understand how the club/forum works..

Andrew.. Very sorry this took so long. The following is copied directly from ross.. (Q) "...bottom of trans hangs down showing a flat piece at the front." (A) Yes. The builder has assembled the trans to the block correctly. The flat piece at the front of the trans represents the inspection cover, mostly obscured from view by the oil pan after full assembly" -=ross=- (Q) "...front casting has no detail on the back when in place." (A) Alternator has back detail which has to be glued to front pulley assembly casting. Cast-in oil filter mates up to oil pump which forms back detail for filter. Power steering compressor back is actually flat on the production 1:1 component, unless the builder chooses to go the full distance and install power steering fluid pressure lines and fittings. Not many builders actually do this. -=ross=- (Q) "... intake is too short." (A) MCM Ohana provided an excellent response, which is to do some research on the finished engine to get some accurate photos for assembly. The 383 Magnum has a valley cover pan which isolates the intake from the inside of the engine. This could be easily fabricated from .005 styrene sheet. This material is not provided in the kit as it is considered to be universally available to the builder. -=ross=-

Paypal only holds money for new users once you reach X amount of feedback that stops.. IMO its a great system to protect people. I have never once had my money heald up by paypal or ebay unless it was for a chargeback..

Hunter Your just lucky I could not find any of those scale cement blocks. lol.. Was a pleasure chatting with you and your better half.. Your trucks looked amazing in person. We had a great time and we plan on being there again next year..

Heres some more pictures from the show.. We had a blast. Wish I would have got some more pictures.. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v401/Phatras/CKM%202010/

Heres a link to the build pictures.. It was built by Randy I. for me. http://public.fotki.com/Fastplasticbldr/my_built_ups_over/69_camaro_pro_touring/

Bradley.. Glad they made it there fast and safe.. Pleasure top help ya.. Jim.. The sleeves come in two different sizes.. 19 and 23.. the 23 inch sleeve will take any of the pegasus 19 inch wheels and convert them to 23s.. Really helpful for making stagered 19/23 combos of wheels they only offer in 19 as shown here.. Model build by Randy I.. he used a set of 19 inch diablos and put 23inch sleeves on the back.. The 19 inch sleeves are used for converting alot of kit wheels into a 19inch wheel. So really just another up sizing method. I have seen quite a few kit wheels used.

Andrew.. I just forwarded a link of this to Ross.. He will be able to help you best..

Dee do you know if there is still rooms left in the host hotel.. I keep forgetting to get reservations.. We will bring sam to help with the ticket sales as well.. If you need us to help set up again the night before we can help with that to.. Just let me know.. Thanks Rick S/ScaleDreams

We got our rooms booked.. Cant wait.. I might actually have a new model to bring to..
