two part question since i don't know the correct term: Q #1: wheel or fender ? Q #2: do we like body color, chassis color, contrasting, or a complimentary color ? [prototypical replication not included - someone else has already made that decision] thanks, sid

in one of my "model train" decades, no doubt.

everyone needs to stop LOL

most of what i read online contains poor spelling. the rest: bad grammar. i mean good grief. when you see the red squiggy line, just click on it for crying out loud.

badger stynylrez why? i get good results with it.

the second box top is not a coupe.

". . . ditto machines . . . ."

i take it this car is in some type of rotation? be a shame to relegate it to a box under the workbench after all this. Q: what years would a car like this race? you mentioned Pintos & Vegas, so i'm thinking early gas war years (around 1973-4) is there a source readily available for early modifieds, even back to jalopy years, rule books? for example, when did the single hoop & brace rollbar get replaced with a full cage such as you've fabricated? a couple of guys on HAMB have been quite benevolent in their transfer of knowledge, but i'm trying to do my homework, too. thanks sid

SOLID!

as the guy said, "you can't save people from themselves."

DuckDuckGo touts its practice of "not tracking". my default search is some microsoft page. when it pops up, i immediately switch over to DDG and then go about my business. before DDG, i used Ask Jeeves. that's how long ago i switched. Which browsers and extensions are best for online privacy edit: i also have some settings shut off so when i close out of a window, my history disappears.

is that why the lumber yard is bombarding me with ads? i did do a search for a "woody" a couple of weeks ago.

i've used Duckduckgo for years without a problem . i also have Adblock plus [free]. and 450$ @ year subscription worth of Norton stuff - whatever it does. never use goober or bing or anything a proprietary program suggests. pc is 9 years old. keep up with updates to programs and clear out junk regularly.

not to worry. just because i misread* something does not require you to expound. time in our lives to chill. * i think [in the stickied speed equipment post] i overlooked the word "perches". in context, your description in context makes sense.

Vallejo Model Color a hundred brands & colors you could choose. maybe not try to cover in 1 coat, just strive for sharp edges. practice first. patience lasts. clearcoat after.

Q: what's the new one? i want to update my address book. thanks in advance, sid

i was quite impressed with Iron Trap when the spring pack had to be cut curved to fit the chassis.
