More than welcome. Like I said, search his site or ask him to make something for you. He does it all the time.

Just a suggestion, but we use these types of pedals with pull backs on our circle track cars. Of course, it's a metal rod with Heim joints from the pedal to the carb too. Something else to think about. Speedway Firewall Mount Racing Accelerator Throttle Pedal

You should start looking here at the link below. This is just the page for decals, and I found that pic on the first page +. According to the counter at the bottom of that first page, there's at least 8 pages of decals. Three Inches Under | eBay Stores

3 inches under on Ebay has all sorts of decals like this. You will have to look through pages of resin parts and decals to find it. If you don't find it, e mail him and I know he can make it for you. I've done a lot of business with him on Ebay. Below is a link for a car sales lot and window stickers for cars that you might want and that was just on the first page of a search. Hope that helps. 1:25 G scale model car dealership new used EPA window auto dealer decals | eBay 1/64 scale model car Felix Auto Sales license plates tags | eBay

Any ram 3500 extended cab help

Pick what matches up and cut them straight and put them together. Brace them on the back side if there's room. I'll show you a pic of two Bronco frames I put together to put under a resin truck body. The frame in my pics is not braced cause it glues to the floor pan. The rear section of the floor pan actually overlaps the middle section of the floor pan. With it all glued together, it self-braces itself so to speak. Hope that helps. Got any questions let me know. By the way, this is the first one I ever made. -
That should be a fun build. I built one as a Tn State Trooper car. Did you notice you have 4 lug instead of 5 lug wheels. lol Sorry, just noticed it is all. I've seen some people chain the doors shut and I think some classes require chains run through the bumper so the wreckers can pick them up and move them quicker. Those cars with the header pipes through the hood always looked cool too. Not sure they were worth it though. Should be a fun build.

Understood. I also found that the elevation at Chattanooga always made it feel colder or hotter than it does at lower elevations like where I am near Nashville now.
-
If Ga. Humidity at 90* is anything like Tn. humidity at 90*, I bet he will be missing that winter up north pretty quick like. He may be in for a shock. lol

Looking good.

You could do one of those remote single or dual oil filter kits where the filters are on the roll bar or frame, and it has lines that goes back to the adapter on the block. Those always look good on a race car.

I use this felt tip marker that is small enough at the base to begin and it starts to taper down to a fine point at the end. It's perfect for doing these wheels cause the sides of the spokes need to be colored black too. So, I can get the side spokes and then concentrate on the rest of the wheel where the slot is. And that fine point works well getting that space behind the lug nuts. I got it at Hobby Lobby where all the pens and Motolow Chrome stuff can be found. I don't know the name of the pen right off hand, I I can get it to you later if you want to know. And I'm sure they have others that will work just as well.

If you find it in the right sizes that wound string is great fuel lines, brake lines, and emergency brake cables to go under the chassis as well.
-
This is the only pic I have on this pc and it's just a string. I did find a couple other uses for the string. One is door cranks and handles using jewelry beads and tail gate cables. I got some used ones from a friend that used to play guitar and I found them on ebay really cheap. Some as low as 1 to 3 bucks a pack. And they come in different sizes. Just do a quick ebay search and you will all kinds of steel strings for guitars.
-
You could also use wrapped guitar string to replace them. It comes in different sizes and looks just like fuel and brake lines with the stone guards wrapped around it.

You are welcome. And love the dashboard. Just keeps getting better and better.
-
Wow, that body turned out great.
-
Keep in mind that if you do a 4x4 or tow truck, many of those have one or two piece shafts that have sliding yokes on the shaft.
-
That makes sense. It would be easier to dirty up once it's not moving around so much. Fingers and a thumb mark would be really cool looking. By the way, I broke a shaft in a dirt track car one night. Right in the middle and I thought it was going to come into the car with me. Right beside my seat at that. I got lucky. And you can see that white shaft laying on that red clay dirt too.
-
I like it. I really like the dirty ladder bars. Makes it look like it's been worked on at the track making adjustment. Might want to dirty up that white drive shaft in a few places. Those things get pulled out quite regularly. I know the one my race car never stayed pristine white. lol
-
May not be the color you were going for, but it looks good. Looks like it laid down just right.
-
Thanks. Yes, this is the R/T that I have in my parts stash. Split bench won't work for the Demon. Demone seat is straight across with adjustable head rests. Maybe I could take this one and fill it in and put the piping and head rests on it. Won't hurt to try.
-
Thanks. That's the R/T car with the cutouts in the doors, right? If so, I think I have that as a parts car in my stash. I think I used the engine, rear axle, and the a/c parts for a different build up. I'll check later tonight. I might get lucky for a change. Then I'll head to Hobby Lobby and get a Demon and get started.
-
That's possible I guess. I did not catch that. I just threw out the first auction that I saw trying to help the guy find what he needed.
-
They can be found on ebay. That one is built, but it looks complete and could be stripped down and rebuilt to fit your needs. $60 bucks. 1/25 JO HAN 1960 PLYMOUTH FURY CUSTOMIZING #2360:140 BUILT VINTAGE MODEL KIT | eBay

I want to follow this and see where it goes. I want to build one of these Demons too. My Mom had a brand new '71 Demon in Plumb Crazy Purple. I hated that car as a kid mainly because if the color, but I'd kill to have two or three of them these days. Funny how our outlooks change over the years. Does anyone make a bench seat for this car? I know most people want buckets, but if I build one I need a bench seat to keep it in line with Mom's car.
