Rob, Just need to get off my tail and get the picture posted of my entry. Just need to find someplace to host it. Tim

IIRC, there used to be a quite active IPMS chapter in Sioux Falls. They did an annual show as did Rapid City. Tim

What I am looking for is the suspension components. The parts that one would need to complete one of those bare chassis sold. But wheels & tires and interior are also play an important roll in completing the pro-touring look. Tim

Depending on weather. I may try and make this. Provided I have something to throw on the table. Tim

What kit is that? Is it the kit engine? More ideas. LOL Tim

I will be in for one, two or six. LOL. Yes a wagon would be absolutely fantastic. Tim

With the popularity of Pro-touring. Does anyone know if any of the aftermarket companies are doing any Pro-touring parts. I have seen the bare Pro-touring chassis on Ebay. But it is bare. you have to source your own suspension and drive train. Tim

Crud, Now I have to finalize my thoughts on what to build. Tim

I have used my H model for years. got it in the early 80s. I like it better than my testors double action. I prefer it over all. Tim

I would wait for the starting thread. I'm sure Rob will be putting up one. Tim

I am not sure if the 69 Chevelle wagon I got several years ago was from this same seller. But it was from Ebay. It is a nice casting I have actually turned mine into a Buick Sportwagon. using panels from the Monogram GSX kit. still haven't finished it maybe some century. Tim

Larry, are you offering the 77 Can Am? How are the 73-75 Buick Centurys coming? I would love to do one of each 73-74 Gran Sport and a 75 Indy Pace car. Tim

Way cool. Looks great. I just wish I hadn't traded the 66 Fairlane wagon I built. Using the AMT kit. Tim

I have used fuzzy fur and other flocking material. But I can never get it to completely stick to the adhesive I am using. (Paint or elmers) I usually get about 1/2 maybe a little more to stick. What could I be doing wrong? I do agree that the embossing powder looks great I need to hit up the micheals next time I am over in Cheyenne. Tim

I think what Rob has in mind. is you can use what ever engine you want but cannot be in a V configuration. 4-6-8-10-12 what ever has to be in line.

I am building a replica of Year One's BRE Trans Am. some consider it a super car. Pro-Touring at it's best. custom chassis, custom suspension, custom body work the whole nine yards. Tim

I have used pine sol cleaner to take off most any type of paint. I have a tub I pour the PineSol in. close the lid let it sit at least over night, but usually a couple days. The paint just rinses off. Tim

Rusty, How can I get a hold of one of your resin diesel engine? Tim

So the gates open, Jan 1, 2018?

I hope to at least get something done next year. Didn't do squat this year. Too many projects got side lined because of missing parts & pieces. but a couple ideas are flowing like molasses. Tim

I am surprised I missed this thread when it came out. I love the colonnade GM A-bodies. Especially the Buick Gran Sport. I had a 75 Century Indy Pace car. Now my youngest is rebuilding a 77 Pontiac Lemans 2dr. Field find. Larry are you still doing the Pontiacs? I think with some tweaking you can use the AMT 69 Olds Cutlass chassis/drive train. For testing purposes I slide one under the Johan 74? Cutlass. Tim

Well as the inventor of the sleeperball. I will throw my thoughts out there. Some of the themes are great I like the pro-touring, the 6 or less, and the van-ball. I like the truck idea, with anything from a Ford Courier to a Kenworth. Rob, being it is a cross country race on public roads we need to keep with the street legal rule. Tim

Ghost flames are nothing but the same color you are painting on just a shade or two either darker or lighter depending on the look you want. If the base color is candy then use a shade lighter or darker of that candy color. Tim

I am working on a set also. doing a 72 GS Stage 1 suncoupe
