More than welcome. I've seen it happen in real cars too. Too short a spring for the ride height and it requires either the right spring or a frame mount relocation. Dangerous to have it facing forward in the real thing. Sometimes I hate to mention things like that, don't want to make anyone mad, but I also know that many want it to look right. I'm not sure if I have built more models or more real cars at this point. lol

I have one of these. The slots in that box are very tight and it makes for a straight cut with a stiff back saw like the one in the pic. Midwest Easy Miter Box Deluxe 83277 | Zoro And Micro Mark has this handy electric one. MicroLux® Mini Miter / Cut-Off Saw (micromark.com)

By the rules, there should be two of them. Both six inches away from the U Joint. The spring hanger on the frame should be slightly in front of springs eye. The way it's mounted now, is backwards. The shackle should angle to the rear of the car, not to the front. It can actually flip over if it's angled to the front on a real car.

Yes it would. I love doing movie and tv cars and such. As well as the race cars.

ooh, I need one of those 'vets. I can do the car from King of the Mountain with those rims it's perfect. A car ole Dennis Hopper would enjoy driving. lol

Like the race car. I built one of the old Lindberg kits into a race car. Asphalt modified with a Thunderbird engine in it. Here's a pic for inspiration.

Looks good, including the lines.

Welcome anytime. Glad to help.

Bottom return, side from the tank, and top is the outlet to the barrel valve and from the valve to the injectors. The barrel valve is controlled by the throttle pedal. on the pics with the injector hat the barrel valve is on the side of the hat. The throttle opens the butterflies and controls the valve at the same time. Your engine looks like it has 8 short stacks. One line to the bottom of each stack and the throttle opens 8 butterflies inside the bottom of the stacks. Hard to see your pic, but it looks like it has a base under the stacks. Your injector lines could go in there. Trying to keep it simple, but hope that helps.

Depends on the years, but they have a huge fuel line and a smaller return line. Fuel pump mounts off the camshaft and sticks out past the blower belt. From the pump to the barrel valve to the injectors.

More than welcome. I figured it was an update. They changed our plates to blue last year for no good reason. I don't like em. lol

More than welcome. That must be the new plate design. Georgia is centered on Trent's plate. Either way it will work. Most will not notice that. Glad to help out.

Georgia across the top of the plate. White plate with the peach in the center of it. I can't read the county name but it's rather long. The tag number is PR9Z084 Watch at the 40 second mark.

You can YouTube Flashpoint if oyu want to watch it. They have the S.R.U. the Strategic Response Unit. It's just like a S.W.A.T. unit but they are trained in phsycology as well. Helps em talk down suspects and try to stay two steps in front of them if they can understand them. I liked it anyways. lol

I hope it comes back MrMike. And Rob Hall is right, it's taxes. That's why a bunch of stuff is filmed in Canada too. That's why Flashpoint was taped in Canada. I loved Flashpoint and at first, they tried to make it look like LA and implied that it was, but they gave up on that. You would see all the local cops with the red striped bands on their caps and their Canadian police uniforms. It was still a good cop show.

Brings back memories. Looks great on that open trailer. That's the way they used to haul em and towed em with a 10 ton box truck.

Looks good. Can't wait to see it finished. Hope the show come back on soon too.

Has anyone ever tried painting a piece of glass and then sitting the tire on the white paint? Seems like it would be smooth and stiff and just let the raised letters touch the paint in most cases, but not all.

Nice looking color. I like that.

You are correct ammonia will clean up the brushes and Windex will remove it from models too if you make a mistake.

I used a regular wide brush on smaller parts, but you can air brush it too.

Use that Future floor polish for clear. It's self-leveling and you can even brush that on. It's not as glossy as a clear coat, but it does look good. It should not interact with your decals and paint.

Looks good. When I ran dirt I used to run against Jay Bird Marlin. He's a cousin to Sterlin I think. Sterlin lives right down the road from a friend of mine. On occasion you can hear some loud engine fire up from my friends house.

Some may know this or figured it out. The first pic in this list was taken from the south end garage area of Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. I went there as a kid and when I stopped playing in the dirt, I ran a grand National Sportsman car at this speedway. I built a 4 cyl car for a friend of mine to race here on the inside 1/4 mile track too.

Anytime. I used some old NASCAR slicks on mine since I wanted an asphalt modified. those wheels fit the NASCAR slicks perfectly. Plus, I had them in the parts stash. The car came from that Lindberg kit that had the Dodge L series tractor and flat bed trailer on it. I wanted it for the truck and trailer and did not want to waste the car, so it became a circle tracker.
