Since I have (once again) procrastinated and won't be able to order directly from Fred, are there any online retailers that sell his decals? I'm looking for the SC/Rambler sheet in particular. Thanks

That's the guy, thanks Len!

Hi all, I'm having trouble finding a pre-wired Vertex (the tall, skinny style) magneto. I've used the Detail Master mag, but trying to shove the 8 wires into that tiny hole in the side of the magneto is a pain. There used to be a couple of places to buy these, but I can't seem to find anymore. Any help would be appreciated, TIA.

I'd forgotten about Perry's, thanks for the reminder. The small Dunlops look promising-I need something to fit the small (13") wheels in the kit. I'm thinking a fairly recent kit (maybe the Beatnik Bandit II) had a small Dunlop tire that may be wide enough for a replacement. This is what's frustrating, the rest of the Datsun kit is really nice, except for the tires...

Hi all, I just bought a set of decals from Penngwen for the Bobby Allison-driven #85 Datsun 510 TranAm car. I'm looking forward to building this except for 1 detail, the less-than-spectacular 2 piece tires. Do any resin-caster produce a tire I could use as a replacement? TIA

Thanks John, I just placed an order for some Piranha decals!

Hi all, I'm in the planning stage of a new project. I was thinking about the engine that's in the new Ala Kart kit. I know the engine in the kit is smaller than a 392. I guess my question is could this engine be used as a "Red Ram" early hemi? I think I have a set of Red Ram valve covers stashed away, but I wanted some outside opinions before going forward with this. TIA

I was hoping to order some decals from Decals by Gooche, but the website is closed. Does anyone have information on whether he's out of the business?

I recognize those parts. Imai made a few Harley-based "hot rod" bikes" a few years ago. I was lucky enough to get a couple from Hobby Link Japan (That's where these pics came from). They're great kits, but, unfortunately, Imai went out of business...

I'd love to see some of the wide 300-series rear tires!

Hi all, I picked up a Johan Rambler Pro Street kit over the weekend. I was under the impression that the kit was based on an AMC musclecar from the late 60s I seem to remember a white car with red and blue striping. My question is how much effort would it take to convert this back to the musclecar version? Are decals available? TIA,

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows whether there's a '32-'34 Ford pickup cab being cast. I have a "crew cab" version from R&R, but would like to build a regular cab. The AMT/Lindberg kits are so scarce these days. Thanks in advance, Bruce Harrison Louisville, KY

Hi all, I was wondering if any resin-casters produce a Crower "8-hole" fuel injection unit? I know there was one in the first Garlits rear-engine dragster kit (MPC?) Also, does anyone produce a set of decals for the Kenz & Leslie 777 "High Country Cougar" funny car? Thanks, this is my first posting in this wonderful forum, thanks Gregg!
