You should take this to the show next month. I had a 40's Willy's from the movie Hot Rod that took first and a chopper from the tv show MASH that took a third at this show. Don't think I'll have anything ready in time this year.

I don't know what system you are using to store your pics on, but they should have a different code that you link to your thread. Most use photo bucket or something like that and all of them are a little different. I use servimg.com. It gives me several links to choose from that makes the pics thumbnails, full size ect. ect. You'll just have to play with the site you store your pics on and find out.

Thumbnail. You can click on them and they get full size and you can use a next button to go through all of them. Looks pretty good. Just need to use a different code to post full size pics. I prefer the full sized ones myself over the thumbnails. They look good though once they are blowed up full size.

Shelbyville. I had a younger friend that lived out your way. He was helping me build my new shop. He found a girl and moved to Nash. with her and now he's useless ... lol. Small world. As for the track, there's still a group fighting for it. Not sure why it can't be put on the Historic Registry site? That would keep it from ever being torn down. I've been going to it off and on since the 70's myself.

Nice looking car. Where about are you in Tn? I'm about an hr south of the track myself. Too bad they are trying to do away with it. That thing is over 100 years old and has so much history too it.

The mint car looks nice as always,but I'm pretty sure the Elvis car was a convertible. I know the replica in the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville is a convertible. The real one is supposed to be on display at Graceland. I read somewhere that a restoration company was allowed to document it to make a replica of it so they could send it out on tours too.

Yeah, but I bet it cost half of what a real car cost too ... lol.

Does anyone have a decal source for 16th scale? Looking for tire decals and racing sponsors and such. Have some extra tires and would like to make the tire sticker for new tires, but I can't find a good pic of one on a NASCAR slick to copy either.

I saw a rather poor looking die cast of it. That's all so far.

Does anyone make a '55 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special ??

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot sometime in the future and see how it turns out. Belts look good too.

Thanks a bunch. I copied and saved them with my reference pics. That really clears things up. Thanks, I owe ya one.

Thanks for looking.

I did the Color Me Gone version years ago and have one left in the box to build up again. I liked Lindbergs version. I would not get a Dodge L700 truck though, or you will quickly change your mind. Flash, warped parts, stuff that did not line up properly and I can't remember what else I hated about it. That was the kit that has the flat bed with the 40 Ford on it. The trailer was good, the car and tractor where junk. I managed to make a decent post war race car out of the 40 Ford though.

Thanks, that would be great.

That does look really good. I would a swore I was looking at some Autometer gauges when I first saw that. I figured you bought it somewhere or stole it from a kit. Great job on that. I may have to give it a try at making my own gauges like that. What did you use to cut the aluminum tube? I don't think I can cut it that short with the cutter I have. Guess I could try to sand it down or drill a hole to set it in. I don't know how I would hold on to it if I tried a Dremel.

Looks good. Can't wait to see it on it's wheels. Always liked the way the trim went around the deck lid in the back. Must have been fun to foil.

Thanks. That would be really helpful if you can find some instructions. I can probably wing it after I get everything in hand, but I am just not familiar with this type of suspension set up.

Thanks. That's the same guy at this other site. I sent Eric an e mail and he got back to me. I'll probably send out and order for them next Monday on my way home from work. He even said he would try to find and instruction sheet for them and send me a copy. I got a couple pics now, but I sure would like to find some more pics with even more detail on the mounting points on the frame and axle. Wonder if they require any extra locating bars to the frame or not?

Where did you get the racing parts from? The gauge and switch panel look really good. I could use something like that.

Looked like a 4 to me.

Nice ride. I did notice a couple miscues though. I see the wires and dist in the rear, but it has a 440 six pack decal. All big block Mopar except for the early Hemi's have the dist. in the front. Plus the AAR had a flat black hood and fenders.

Welcome,anytime. Just glad to help when I can.
