Very nice!

Flashpoint's 68 Camaros and 68 Firebird were nice. I wouldn't mind building one of those.

Does anyone know what year NHRA Pro Stock cars started using Fuel Cells instead of the regular gas tank?

At the time when I got the 'New Improved Chrome' that's what my local hobby shop had. I'll have to give the 'Matte Aluminum' a try too.

Thanks guys! Mark, I haven't experienced the 'New Improved Chrome' to be brittle at all and it's quite flexible. I did hear that the BMF 'Ultra Bright' foil is brittle and less flexible.

Is there a big difference between Bare Metal Foil's New Improved Chrome and Matte Aluminum? I use BMF New Improved Chrome for chrome trim but I need to do some trim to simulate an aluminum look. Will Matte Aluminum work?

My prayers are with Paul and his family and friends.

Dave, I understand that by the late 70's only the quarter panels and roof were used from an actual production car. At least part of the cars were actual production cars. The rest of the measurements and fiber glass body panels still represented an actual car. This is what I was referring to. Now a days, as Hakan said, the bodies are far away from production cars and don't resemble an actual car at all. In that video I posted they still looked like cars and had some lineage to an actual car unlike today.

Norbert, Have you done any more work on this Pro Stock Pinto?

Thanks Dave for the information! This video in the link below has Pro Stock footage from when actual production cars were raced. The good ol' days. 1977 NHRA SUMMERNATS

I did some searching and it almost looks like the change to the more 'Pro Mod' looking all 'Ultraglass' bodies might have been in the mid 2000's. However I'm still not sure.

In 1994 they were using the Dodge Daytona in Pro Stock.

This year the Pro Stocks are now using fuel injection with no hood scoops. I liked when they ran the 4 barrel carbs. Before the change to the all 'Ultraglass' bodies the roof and quarter panels had to be from a real production car. The bodies still resembled a real car. Now they seem to be using the same, or similar, bodies as the Pro Mods. I actually like the Pro Mods but miss when the Pro Stock bodies had the real quarters and roof and resembled a real car. I'm curious when the change took place. I'm can't seem to find this information.

Does anyone know what year the NHRA Pro Stock cars change to carbon fiber bodies? They seem to resemble Pro Mod cars more now.

Beautiful build Bill! BTW, what paint/color did you paint the body? Mike.

Jeff, Did you ever finish this one?

Does anyone make a 1/25 Scale 2014 Camaro Pro Stock body? I know Comp Resins makes a 2012-13 Pro Stock Camaro but it changed in 2014.

I traded parts with gardnerpag44(Paul) and it was a pleasure dealing with him. He's a good guy to deal with.

Thanks Craig! Now I just have to find a set of these tires.

Can one of you guys measure the inside diameter of these tires for me? I need to see if the Jo-Han wheels will fit. Thanks, Mike.

My e-mail notifications stopped coming today. I un-checked and re-selected them so I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Jim, Nice work! What is that yellow stuff you are using? Is it styrene? Mike.

Thanks Jay and Tommy for the kind words!

I forgot to include this picture in the post above. I shortened the front doors by re-scribing the seam between the doors about 2 mm forward. The front doors on the Polar Lights Ecto-1 are too long for a 'Superior Coach' ambulance. I believe the Miller-Meteor ambulances, that the Ecto-1 was based on had longer front doors. Mike.

This must be something new. I was posting by copying the pictures in Photobucket and it was working fine until I posted these pictures today.
