Resin, sometimes called Bondo thinner. Fiberglass resin will work.

I haven't been to a movie in decades, and Country music? I don't think so....

For me it's about the bodys. The "old" style cars were built from real cars and looked like what they were. These new "things" with the front ends laid back and everything molded in and swooped together with a big ugly aluminum box on the rear don't even look like a car, at least no this side of Toon Town.

I was not trying to put him down, only stating that I payed so little attention to the race that I didn't even remember his name. And this is not a joke, who is Ashley Judd?

PS, the lumps are junk! Don't try to mix them in. You MIGHT have some luck removing them and using whats left.

Did you let if freeze over the winter? If so it's time to replace it.

Yep, I was describing both, but NASCAR is kind of worse running cars that don't exist (2 door front engine rear wheel drive V8's) and calling them stock. And now they can change the cars brand and model with light and grille decals....

Racing was when a few guys got together and built a car with the idea of going faster than everybody else on the track. The engine guy spent all winter on the dyno trying to find 5 or 10 more horsepower, while the chassis guy was welding up his new design himself. Today a millionaire buys one of the one or two "approved" chassis, and installs one of the one or two "approved" engines, which is sealed so his mechanic can't even try to improve it's performance, why that would be cheating! Then a bunch of the identical "approved" cars run a 500 mile economy run to see who will have enough fuel to finish. The so called race is won or lost by decisions on when or when not to pit. On the news last night they announced the winner of the Indy 500, and not only was it a name I'd never heard and couldn't pronounce, I find out he was a three time winner, and again I didn't even remember ever hearing his name before!

Sometimes the caster provides one, sometimes you can cut one from flat clear plastic (packaging bubbles or clear flat stock from a hobby store) and the most work is to make a basswood or balsa buck and vacuum form one.

Looking great! But I was expecting Baggies on a 60's surfer.

I turned down free tickets last week, and I live 30 miles from the track.

I imagine it was a slow seller due to a lack of donor kits, it may sell now. I'd buy one.

Open door for a resin caster.

I grew up around the 500, my dads friend was an official and opened some doors for us. I've been to many 500's, and used to listen fatefully for years when I couldn't be there. Somehow it lost the. magic, just ain't the same.

Very cool cars from back when Indy was still THE race.

I live 30 miles from the track and don't bother to go or even listen.

Doe's the Swedish Bikini team have a meet on TV this weekend?

Brats and burgers on the grill. (is there some king of race or something going on too?)

73 was the last SS Chevelle, gets my vote.

I have searched for enough info to build a replica of his King Daytona with little luck. I guess I'll have to "fake" what I can't find. RIP Big Willie. PS, In the opening street racing scene of the movie "Two Lane Blacktop", the Dodge Daytona is Big Willie's car, and he is behind the wheel.

Check the fuel pump on the side of the left case, and the generator stand, it's a 36 HP mill, Trans is a split case too.

My boss has one, and it's a stick.

Different IMC.

Go to any Pontiac forum and look around, general consensuses is styling killed sales, Didn't even have a hood scoop ( fake or real) the first year.

Yeah, thats real exciting, looks just like every other car on the road.
