From Slixx Facebook Page (March 25) Slixx Decals We wanted to share an important update regarding Competition Resins. After over 30 years in business, he has made the decision to semi-retire. Fortunately, he plans to continue providing us with a limited selection of bodies and parts. Many bodies and parts will be going away and are limited to stock on hand. We have updated the website to note the products that are being discontinued. Also mentioned Competition Resins Website is shut down

1/43 Thrust SSC

Be still my Heart !!!

Have had several dealings with Speed City. First went perfect, second one went to site and said out of stock sent an e-mail saying i was interested when they came back, about a month later an email came back asking if I was still Interested, I was and ordered the car body, very pleased the way it went down

Get someone to 3-D print them, sell as aftermarket

Always thought this was a no-brainer, put a set of Glidden-Allen decals in it and watch it sell. Then put the original Dyno Don and Gapp and Roush in the re-issues.

It was meant to switch between a gasser and a altered, do not know about the model, but real car also had provisions to install engine in different locations on chassis, along with moving front suspension. I read somewhere that MPC had a deal with Ohio George to build a different car every year, MPC would do a model of it and George could race it or put it on the show car circuit, which is basically what happen with the Maverick. The deal fell apart after the Maverick. Off Topic, When Round 2 was doing the Ohio George stuff a few years ago always thought they could of done his Turbo Pinto BB/MC and the blown BB/FC Mustang with a Ford engine They sort of had both kits in their inventory.

A few years ago Round2 did several Ohio George Montgomery, I thought they should have taken their Hot Rod Magazine Mustang funny Car and made different decals for his BB/FC,(at one point it had a blower then a turbo). Then they could have done his turbo pinto, the 75 car looks like it would just need a decal package,(I know it is a 75 and his car was a 74)

Thanks again, man I am getting old. I have both kits (both built) I remember buying the first one, but do not remember getting the second one, but I have it with pants and all. Terry

Thanks for the info, do not ever remember seeing the first one in you pictures. Did it have the wing mounted behind driver like picture shown, if so I do not remember if Ivo ever had a setup like that. That would be more like the Spirit TF that Arnie Behling drove.

Sort of disappointed the Ivo dragster does not come with the Wheel Pants and different nose option, like on the original kit. Or maybe they will do it on a 2nd release of the kit with just the wheel pants and nose, just thinking out loud.

I think it is the 1963 Lotus 29

Thanks, had all those kits, just could not remember what was what.

Was the Copperhead Dragster the one that had a turbine engine in it?

The roof ain't right for what, a gasser? Comparing the 2 photos above their are lots of thing wrong with the kit other than the roof line. The front end sits to high, the grill is wrong, wrong tires and wheels, some lumpy thing in the hood and their is something hanging out the back of the model that is not on the production car. Oh yea, it is a gasser not a production car. When the OEM model comes out, have at it on the roofline and whatever, but this kit right here is a race car nothing else.

That is what I thought also, so does Atlantis have those bodies also?

Now I am really confused, Is this not the same chassis in the Bud Tempo, 7-11 Mustang, Pepsi Firebird, Castrol Olds, ect. So are those bodies in the US or the bodies molded in China and chassis here, or two chassis molds, or --- i'm confused

YES

Grand Spaulding Dodge is Mr. Norm. Mr. Norm Krause passed away on Feb. 27. 2021

Thanks guys, just ordered some Hobby Designs stuff. tb

I am pretty sure this has been asked before, but I cannot find it on the forum. Does anyone resin cast a good turbo and/or Pro Charger. Looking for both, for 2 different projects Thanks Terry

They were called Stardust because the Las Vegas casino by that name was a sponsor of his. It is pretty interesting, his mom and dad were bookies in Chicago and had connections with the casino. This article does not mention it but I read that one of his clients owed him money and that is how he became a partner in the battery charger business https://www.autoweek.com/racing/nhra/a2147006/racing-legend-don-schumacher-still-driven-dominate-improve-nhra/

They also have a website with lots of other resins. Here is their page with the 4 door Maverick. Purchased the Colt a couple of months ago, for future project. http://stores.smhracing.com/smh-resins/?sort=featured&page=11

Does this count earlier this year at Gateway
