I found a close color for Holley carbs. I painted these race hemi carbs with these Vallejos. I did the plates and vacuum canister aluminum then went over it with the interior green. I’m gonna re do the throttle plates aluminum again as it appears gold now.

Thanks. Yes I subscribe to Ralph’s channel. I enjoy his builds and information

Well I emailed them two days ago, and they said they would get back to me in 24 hrs with a price. If I can’t get them, the car will go without. No big deal.

Thanks Tim. I have a lot more work to do, but it’s coming along. STS said they would have a quote for me tomorrow. I’m glad I have all the other decals except the two “Revell” and the class window numbers and letters. I have their goodie mini sheets coming from Slixx, so that takes care of the windows. I thought this build would get a little expensive, but still not too bad for now.

Thanks for the help everyone. I do believe I have two of those Jenkins sheets.

Does this decal look familiar to anyone? The yellow circle one. I was thinking “drag news” but looking at the one I have, I don’t think it is. Any help is appreciated.

Went through all my decal folders this morning, and I have every decal I need, except the two blue “Revell” above the wheels. I emailed STS decals today for a quote. Hopefully they can make them for me. Fingers crossed.

Looking real good. I will say this. These kits are not for the beginner. Especially when fitting all the front bars, steering, spindles, etc. You are doing a terrific job on a kit, I would say, should be a skill level 6.

Thank you for the information. I’ll definitely get in touch with them.

Too many projects going on at once, is nothing unusual with this bench.

I posted a request on the Wanted section for decal help. Fashioned up a set of motor plates to secure the hemi in place.

Does anyone have, or know of anyone that could print these “Revell” decals on a printer? Thanks

Working on the Leal car yesterday and this morning. I have the roll cage built and the glue is drying now. I received my Cragar Super Tricks from Futurattraction. Except for finding the “Revell” side decals, it seems to be coming together. Question: Does anyone make custom decals on their printer if I can give the size?

Those decals came out nice. For their age, I think they look pretty darn good.

Who did Brittney defeat on that record run?

Not the actual car, but it was just like this 73 Ford. Big 2 door, blue on blue. I’ll bet money that the old Ford rode smoother than cars of today.

This will most likely be a difficult build, especially when trying to duplicate the modified car. The “Revell” decal on the rear side panels will be hard to locate. I plan on painting the car white, and masking off the sides and top, when applying the orange. I’m thinking that the kits decals, might bleed the orange thru them. The only kit supplied decals that can be used is the “California Flash” on the doors. The white stripe stops at the front of the hood scoop, as compared to the kits decals, go all the way to the grill.

That’s a pretty cool story, and you made the build look just like the real Corvette.

That’s one beautiful Plymouth build. Paint is amazing, as the engine detail. I like the tach drive on the distributor housing. Definitely a nice touch.

Thanks for the info on the bolt heads. I will definitely look into it. As for the wheels and tires, I ordered the Cragars from Scott today. Those tires you mentioned, I have a bunch of those. This front tire I have for this build, is actually larger and smoother than those. I’m sure I’ll just use those ones I have.

After the first car I built for my brother in law, I decided to build him the other one I had too. I cut the passenger side window down to fit in the groove, and painted around all the windows edges after the decals were applied. It gave the car a more cleaner appearance than the first one. Taking a break from the NASCAR stuff until I build my new 72 Petty car that just arrived today. I gotta get some other builds finished up that are lying around.

Shifter has a separate reverse shifter, that I’m glad I found so I can replicate it.

I also have to put the front spindles back to the stock height. Sits way too high in the front with them reversed. Maybe that’s my problem? The spindles are in the lower position. Gotta find larger front tires.

I’ve been playing around with the Plymouth today. Wanted to get a mock up, but I’m definitely going to order some Cragars from Scott, and add some RBM lugs. I don’t like the front tires, as they are a bit small. I wish I could find a larger 1/25 scale tire, that would fill out the front wheel wells better. Kind of like the old Moroso drag tires. I was thinking of a 1/24 scale, but then I’d run into a problem fitting the rims. Unless I order a set if each scale, and stagger them,but I’m afraid it wont look right.

Thank you. I’d appreciate it. My hobby store is actually a hardware store, but he carries everything from model trains, to RC planes, and the full Tamiya paint line. So I’m sure he’ll have them.
