Quite creative.

Don't see that everday! What's the story on the "skinny mini/wide hide" vinyl tires set?

Bass wood and rennshape, come to mind.

Maybe next year. I am judging a BBQ contest on Sat. in Warrens and will be attending Rumblefest in Amherst on Sun.

Bizzarrini P538

These aren't suicide doors, They are sliders like on a van.

Thanks Danno and Road Runner.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I acquired a two piece solid resin copy of the AMT LSR go kart many years ago. I decided to make a styrene vacuum formed copy of it out of 0.040" sheet. I made a buck for the canopy and added a fin for stability.

Saturday is the start of the 65th Speed Weeks at Bonneville. You can listen to it live, here. http://www.scta-bni.org/Bonneville/SpeedWeek2013/LiveStream.html I recently finished my K/SG streamliner.

I'll be watching this. I started what was supposed to be a Kurtis SC about seven years ago. The wheelbase was too long, so I think it was really a Muntz Jet. I shortened the body and used a shortened '48 Ford chassis.

I buy from this guy. Good size, low gloss, great price, and service.

He's been trying to get them re-produced...for about a decade.

Thank you for that explanation Art. It's the most thorough one that I have read yet. The pantograph explains a lot of things.

Sure Is a different build. But looks like a 1986 Corvette Indy.

I have a modeling fiend in Australia, who is an avid surfer. I sent him a pix of a surfboard that I saw in the Ferrari store in South Beach, Fl. I think it was around $3,000. He sent me these three boards. The one on the left is from the pix that I sent him. The one on the right uses PE emblems.

I've used this guy's stuff. Nice size, low shine, reasonable price, and several colors. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231020230320?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

My main question is, is it curbside?

A friend did one years ago with a Taurus SHO powertrain.

A peve of mine is the arrogance of some judges. They come with pre-concieved opinions, such as plug wire locations, and the builder gets unjustly screwed. I own a factory produced, steel bodied car that has no panel lines. All the panels were welded and filled, at the factory. No fender, cowl, rocker, nor rear deck panel lines exist on the real cars. Yet I could never win a contest, because some judge doesn't belive this could be true. Perhaps these panel lines have purposely been filled in by the modeler, to get that clean look? Maybe he likes the way he ran the plug wires. You're right. It's your opinion that counts. Screw 'em.

That's actually a Bertone Testudo (Plymouth) Arrow.

Howdy.

I've been waiting for this to move onward.
