  6. Air shocks were a better alternative. You could easily adjust them for the occasion. The secret to good handling was individual air filler valves. Had them on my '67 Cougar XR-7.
  7. Eagle T 1G This guy sells them from time to time on evilbay
  8. That's correct. I still have an unfinished one, but I cut it down to make a Kurtis SC.
  9. Thanks for showing how you are doing this. So if I understand. Instead of endless measuring and trial by error, you are drawing this on a computer program, that does all the measuring and shapes for you, then cut it out on a machine, and then assemble it like a kit. Very interesting. I saw this the other day and it reminded me of your build. It received the Klingon Kruiser Award as the most "out of this world" entry at a prestigious contest in Salt Lake City. It's a 1/25 AMT 1960 Ford Starliner combined with the bubble top and interior from the Roth Beatnik Bandit Revell kit.
  10. Eliminate the parts on the lower left. The Chrysler A-925 Dooms Day Machine. Good for 700hp in street form.
  11. Two seater hacthback Daytona R/GT with a 500 cu in Doomsday DOHC engine.
  12. That is the dry suspension. The Mini also used a wet suspension. The system used fluid displacer units fitted to each wheel. The front and rear units were connected so that the front and rear nearside form one connected pair and the front and rear offside form another connected pair. The units were made from sheet-steel and rubber. Each unit consisted of an upper and lower chamber housing containing a diaphragm, reinforced by nylon, and a compressed conical rubber spring. The units were filled with a mixture of alcohol, water and additives to prevent corrosion. A valve in the top of the fluid separating chamber replaced the conventional damper of other systems. When either wheel on one side of the car hit a bump in the road, the fluid was displaced and caused the unit on the other wheel to react. In this way a bump at the front made the rear of the car rise to a corresponding height and the car always remained level. As weird as this sounds this suspension was also used on a few Indy race cars.
  13. Hey, That's no inline six!!!
  14. Bill, I have searched shapeways for these rims unsuccessfully. Do you have a link to them or Pico?
  15. HL X-mas crafts. By the x-mas stickers, decals, and things. Don't wait until after x-mas, there won't be anything left. Slim pickings even now. Crafters start buying this stuff in July.
  16. Hobby Lobby has them in their Christmas Crafts section. Usually on a 4-way on the back race track.

  18. Oh boy, Peter's at it again.
  19. Some Monogram Thunderbird, Grand Prix, and Buick stock car kits had floor jacks.
  20. Thanks Steve. I have been looking everywhere for the F stop setting on my phone. Even the manual doesn't mention it. You are the only one that I have found on the interweb that has said the Aperture and F stop setting are the same as settings like, "Portrait", "Landscape", "Beach", etc, etc, try using "Landscape".
  21. I had a '67 XR-7 and I like fastbacks, so I'm digging it.
  22. Nice clean combination.
