Nice work as always Tom, you mentioned the cab is being cast, by who? Looking forward to see how this progresses.

more info on the cab please.

Ben Wicker turned me on to a site http://www.modelmakershop.com/modelmakershop/ for some detail parts I was looking for that were very unique and not available here in the states. I'm a procrastinator and finally got around to placing an order. Parts were excellent quality and the best part is I ordered parts on Nov 7th I recieved them yesterday on the 16th. I'm in PA they are in Austria. We are talking 9 calender days to get something from half way around the world. Just a heads up there are still lots of great companies out there!

Al-Anabi is gone. http://www.dragracingonline.com/agent1320/2011/1320-xiii_10-75.html rumour has it the Shiek is in rehab and his Daddy pulled the plug. They also invested $20mil in the ADRL more changes to come.

way to many magazines and books. I started taking pics of covers that kinda jogs my memory where to look for my drag racing reference. here's my Super Stock and Drag illustrated collection.http://public.fotki.com/VincePutt/magazine-cover-back/ssdi/

Cut the doors with photo etch micro saws and the string dental floss method work well. The Model car Garage hinges are very nice. Replace the wire that comes in their kitwith .015 brass wire. Follow the instructions! Take your time. use JB weld to attach they work. I have found them frustrating to use. The Stainless steel is not very forgiving. A photo etch bending tool may be helpful but I don't have one.

herein the states the hot setup for a pro mod car would be a what we call a toter RV with a stacker trailer check out http://renegaderv.com/ grab yourself a volvo 670 or 780 and start scratchbuilding

think about joining the CPMCC we meet in Mt.Wolf. http://www.cpmcc.org/

is Rommey AWOL ?

good news, raise the bar make it a daycab prostar with a short wheelbase. We could kitbash and come up with multiple versions of Lonestar & Pro Star. hope next up would be a 53' race car hauler. or dry cem. tanker.

found on Kim Loeb's truck page. GMC wrecker from the 60´s. Picture taken in Garfield, Colorado in 1984. What is the model name of that type of truck ? http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/kl_gmc.htm

you can find some reference pictures here http://public.fotki....classic-50.html

nice job chuck. I'd like to get in on those decals too if you decide to produce them

nice job as always. Where did you find the decals?

I got a call from Ed today looking for some computer help. He caught a virus on his computer and I offered my help. He’ll bring his computer down tomorrow for some help. I get him up and running again by the end of the weekend.

Alot of people build models. But few build art. Nice Job! very convincing!

Why doesn't the new chat room chat window scroll automaticly?

Ken Leslie from Little Rock built the 51 merc. his stuff is aways very nice and a heavy hitter for best paint wherever he goes. Congrats Ken

nice job Roger! Are you gonna build another ... the wadded up version ?

Here's a link to the pics I took Saturday http://public.fotki.com/VincePutt/semi_truck_shows_/macungie-truck-show/

Nice Job, as for Harry's Comment No magic involved the front fenders attach at the cowl and Rad support. It could work but there would be alot of flex in the car. Inner fenders stiffin things up and keep engine compartment clean. On the 1:1 camaro inner fenders would bolt to fender lip area, Rad core support and an additional brace would bolt from inner fender to the firewall. Even with all this in the car there was still flex between the firewall and front subframe. Herb Adams designed tubular triangular braces that bolted to the firewall and attached to front upper control arm bolt this in combination with solid mounts for the front subframe replacing rubber bushings, a few other suspension tricks allowed that generation F Body to pull a g on the skidpad in the early 80's making it a real corvette eater.
