  6. Got mine yesterday. Thanks, I know this is a difficult, but keep on keeping on. great mag.
  7. I would like someone would do a 60's era formula Vee, as designed by Ed Zink. this was and still is a division of racing that many great racers came through. Should not be too hard to do, as there are many pic's of chassis to complete cars. These are small cars and would take little product to make. Anyone interested?
  8. Love the build, Color,WOW! in reality if Chrysler had taken over AMC earlier, AMC would have ended much earlier and gone the way the Jeep is going. Don't buy at any cost is the recommended, buy nearly all consumer report type experts.
  9. Got mine yesterday. Gotta go, I'm only on page 5. Thanks for a great mag, and all the hard work you put into making it a reason to watch my mailbox.
  10. Add three more nuts to the wheels, Thats what you had to do to keep the wheels from coming off at cornering speeds. three lug wheels just couldn't handle the stress. The SCCA allowed this alteration. Hope you have fun. It's such an undated little sedan, and so much fun to drive.
  11. Very Clean and beautiful colors. WOW.
  12. Worth the wait! Sweet.
  13. Looks Great, I thought the 289 used in the Daytona's were black not corp. blue. I could be wrong.
  14. Yellow bought TNT Holland and Holland America about 10 years ago.
  15. The floor was body color.( blue or white) no carpet. These were "ready to race " outside of France. Don't forget the red G on the rocker cover. The door panels were body color, with simi gloss black/ flat black inserts.
  16. looks great. I have an infinity for this car . Raced in C sedan in Historic series. Car was originally owned and raced by Tom Van Hoozier, and prepted by Zink cars of Knoxville,Tn. A friend bought it from Tom , We restored it and have had a ball since.
  17. Ray, I have watched your builds and enjoyed every one. You are part of the reason I started building again. Hope you change your mind and keep building something. Your work, and witt will be missed by me.
  18. Like your take on the Chargers, especially the convert. Gives me some ideas. Maby combine the two . See you've got my mind working, and it's going to cost me money. On second though, thanks a bunch.
  19. There were not many imported to this country. As far as I know, they were "ready to race" (NOT) and came with acid dipped body's except for the doors. The engine floated the valves @ about 5500 rpms. The French team supposedly ran the same motor, but they revved much higher. A quick change of Valve springs, Triumph 650 comp springs fit the bill and that along with a blank factory cam sent to Isky cams and the little hemi came to life, and became very competitive . Don't buy "French Blue paint unless it matches the color of the blue on the spur's it will not be correct. It will be too dark. Leave off the fender flares, in this country, they raced in C/ sedan SCCA. This kit builds into a nice model, with a little research and detail, it can be a fine replica. Enjoy building a little known "hot rod" ( they could out run a mustang) from France.
  20. I have built this kit several times. some tweeks need to be made. Install the rear panel, and that will help align everything. The model is molded in a very close color to the factory blue. Careful with the glue and polish the plastic. you can get a realistic color & finish. These were really fum and quick cars, after a change of valve springs, and some other tricks, you could get around 140 mph. Keep posting, I will be following.
  21. I got a set from  Indycals, they were oos for about 2 weeks. just keep checking back,as they regulary stock them.
