Harry, I have never shown that model to anyone. How did you get a picture of it?

I'm willing to bet that the reason he went into the wall in the first place was because something was loose or in the process of failing on the first run and that it let go completely on the next run. The wall smack was probably a symptom, not a cause. He should have checked out why he went hard right like that, he might have found the problem. He probably blamed it on the track.

I see a Kustom Hudson in my future...

Count me in on any version of the 1800. The resin Volvos nearly $150. That just too much.

Thanks for these Charlie. I was going to head over to Stu's but it was just too darn hot.

Much, much better than Top Gear America. I have to agree that Top Gear UK is better, but on the other hand, I bet we won't have to sit through reviews of Citroens or Puegeots on The Car Show.

Death Proof Incredible car chase, great soundtrack AND a lap dance. Who could ask for more?

You are thinking of the PV444 and PV544 - they made them from the mid-40's and into the mid-1960's. Lot's of them were use as rally cars and still are.

Dude, You Rock! Wicked Pissa.

Hi, I saw the Vintage Racing Miniature guys at the NNL East and they had the artwork there to show. The final artwork is headed to the decal printer soon. More info at their website Here is what the Offy sheet will look like: And here is the Ford V8-60 sheet:

a couple hundred pix. Hope you enjoy them. My NNL East 2011 pix on Fotki

Nice job Harry. Good to see something different here.

Hi, I know a few of you are hoping that the aftermarket will bring out some decals for the new Revell midget kits. I spoke with a couple long-time MassCar members at the show on Sunday, and they are well on their way to bringing out two decal sheets for the midgets. The company is called Vintage Racing Miniatures. They plan on having two sheets - one for the Offy engined kit and one for the V8-60 kit. Each sheet will have decals for SIX different cars that actually ran back in the day. And on top of that, each sheet will contain a large set of gold leaf numbers and lots of product logo decals to allow the builder to build their own "phantom" race car. So if you get both sheets you will be able to build 12 different replicas plus a ton of phantom cars. I got to see the artwork for the two sheets and they look great. They tell me that they have about a month of work left to do on the artwork, and then they will send it off to Cartograf. They expect to have decals ready and for sale by the beginning of the summer. Price will be $15.00 per sheet.

It isn't my Shelby. I couldn't afford one of those. Oh, and I'm not there yet.

Terry, have you looked at a Mickey Thompson Attempt I kit. It's got a Dragmaster frame with the double driver's hoop and the axle is not straight. I don't know if is what you need, but you should check it out.

Still digging this one Terry - you'll have it done for MassCar, right?

I started the whole thing, so I have to go every year just so they can point their fingers at me and tell me it's all my fault.

I use Easy Off oven cleaner, original formula. I put the parts in a glass bowl and spray the oven cleaner on until they are covered in liquid. I leave the parts in there for a full day. You need to leave them in that long to take off the clear varnish that the manufacturers use on chrome parts to help make the chrome adhere to the plastic. I use oven cleaner to strip paint too.

Yikes, that thing is pretty beat up. I'll be watching to see what I can learn, thanks.

Yes, yes, please please kind sir. I hate the look of those wire hinges.

Love the paint, always liked early Rivieras ever since my dad bought a 64. It was a lemon, but it looked cool.

I forgot how good a builder you are Jon. I still remember how much your Corvair convertible blew me away.
