I'll get the hood and the inserts into the mail asap, and get a tracking number. Just need your address please. Regarding the Corvette Pitchfork hood, no.. not using it on a Vette. Plan is to cut out the design and graft it into the El Camino hood and use it on my 66 Wagon. I'll buy a resin cowl induction hood for the Camino. 😁

When you place your next order at AMZN, the last step before paying for your order, you have the option to "Reduce shipping waste and ship in manufacturers container." See below:

This is the very first that I have ever seen/ heard of 'solder balls'... I have to go find some.

I had some decals printed by STS recently. I sent him a on-line magazine article of a specific custom car I want to build and asked him to replicate all of the graphics and sponsor logos. You can't get more 'custom' than that in my opinion. I did have to wait a while, but I am very satisfied with the end product. In the meantime, there were several emails exchanged that included proofs to approve prior to Terry commiting to print. I'm sure he's not interested in wasting his time and ink any more than you are.

Bah.. You're being your own worst critic. Knock it off. I'm saying this...because I need to stop being my own worst critic. The pursuit of perfection, hinders progress.

FYI: Hiroboy is now accepting orders from US addresses now... https://www.hiroboy.com/shop.php?p=each_manufacturers&id=175&page=7

I'm down for this!

What's wrong with it?

@Tarkmucker Do you need the chrome inserts as well? I'm looking for a L88 or Pitchfork style myself... This style:

I'll see what I have. I might be able to help.

I'm interested in anything 'Ring Brothers'. So I very much look forward to seeing you progress on this! I had 'Unkl' in the queue... Even had custom decals printed for it by STS. And then I seen 'Kingpin' and 'Tusk'... 😩 Sooo.. I'm going to have to let the wife decide. 😆

This is absolutely fantastic! Love this and will definitely use this as a reference when I start my S1 project! Excellent work Sir!

Outstanding!

Where to buy the doorhandles if you're not interested in going through FB?

Well done! I just ordered this kit and photo etch myself after watching a documentary on Audi. Thanks for the heads-up on the lack of opacity on the decals. I'll double up on them. 😁

Oooof...

This... Is a fantastic example. Excellent work Sir!

Very cool place. My interest is piqued and I'll try to remember it next time Im in the area. Thanks so much for sharing your visit!

Scale of the FXX-K?

FB is the Cloaca of social media... I terminated my account back in 2021. Yes.. I said it.. It's a full-on Cloaca.

Not sure if you reside in the United States or not, but per my last email exchange with Hiroboy approximately a month ago, they are still unable to ship to US addresses. I would inquire to see if they would be willing to do so, if they have it available. If they have resumed shipping regularly to the US, please take the time to post a comment here. I have several items (from the same video 😁) I would like to purchase!

If at all possible... Try to bring kits with you in a Carry-on. The caveat is that the package has to be able to fit in an overhead compartment, or under your seat. If you can bring it as a carry-on , you have a bit more control over its well-being. Sending it as a 'checked bag', it will be at the mercy of the ramp workers loading and unloading. And unless you are flying SWA, the ramp workers are contracted help, woefully underpaid, and...well...they (mostly) don't care.

I would like to have this framed and hanging in my man cave.. .

It would fantastic, if you opted to record it and upload it to YT, and then share the link here. Just a thought..... 😁

I actually saved the photo of the roll cage because it actually goes right along with the project I'm working on at the moment. I also appreciate the tip on the armature wire. 😁Thanks Daniel!
