Thanks, for that info. I'll keep it in mind if I build another one. I already have in in primer and red paint. So, I guess I got lucky on that one. lol
I'd like to do a V8 conversion and RWD kind of street strip and see how that turns out.
I fixed three bodies for a friend of mine. One was really bad. I just filled them with c/a glue and sanded them down when it dried. Worked great and the glue just flows where it needs to go. I'd try that again if the need comes up.
Looks good. Next time when you do the yellow stripe on the tires, line it up with a lug nut. That stripe is what the pit crew uses to line up the lugs and put the tires on so fast. Can't stand the new cars with the single Indy wheel type lug nut. Looks good though. I like it.
Yes, he put them upside down. Bottom of the number faces the driver's door and some are set at angles. But it's made so the score keeper can read the roof numbers from the pit road side of the track.
Looking good. Your air filter is backwards though. That's a shield to protect the filter from dirt and hot air off the rad and water if it leaks. NASCAR used them that way to take in air off the windshield cause it's a high pressure point on those cars. What I like about it is the drilled grill and the bend on the side skirts like so many of those cars run. I ran dirt for years before going asphalt and road courses.
Did you find a new steering wheel for it? I think that kit is the same as the camo truck kit that I have. It has a chrome after market steering wheel that I'd like to trade off for a stock wheel for my build. Not sure where to look for that.
More than welcome. Just tryin to help out. Early Mopars used black caps and wires. Then they phased in the tan caps with black wires then they phased in the orange wires later on. Then in the 80's went back to black and black and stayed that way till the end.
