Fuel Coupe

Thanks Georgie. My 8 year old is my whole world. The things he does just amazes me. He was diagnosed with the gift of Dyslexia last year. Now I say gift because he thinks in ways I only dream of. His mind bends and wraps around ideas that just astonish me. I was really down when we found out and his words to me were " Its cool Daddy it dont hurt at all ".He passed 3rd grade this year with A's and B's. He is a Martial Arts Badass. He's been taking it for several years and is tough as nails. Ive started studying with him and let me tell you its tuff for a 40 yr old to get out there and do it but I got a good teacher . We went to an inner class sparing tournament at his Dojo this past weekend and he took 3rd it his class against kids 3-4 years older than him and twice his height. After it was over he told me " Daddy, that just goes to show you that higher belts dont mean their gonna Beat me". Happy Fathers day everyone....

here you go funny car topic

I love when these threads come up... Heres my work area. It is a 1940's jewelers table giving to me before my grandfather passed away. I think he spirit lives on in this bench as my modeling skills stepped up when I got it... He was a jeweler for most of his life...

Working Watts Linkage Real tin seat

one of the best organized lists Ive found on the net www.socalcarculture.com

welcome aboard. I know how you feel. Weve all been right where you are at. I havent built in close to 10 years up until now. my first time into a model contest back back in the 90's I got my a%% handed to me but what a rush to see all the stuff people were doing. Most important things are learn as much as you can. If its on the 1:1 it can be done in scale. AND JUST HAVE FUN!!

Austin is a VW Meca. There is a VW following there seconded by Socal. Several Large VW clubs run around in Austin. I Built a 66 few years ago and sold it but I will get another one. I love'em and respond to horsepower increases better than a small block chevy Mine had a 2276 making 208 HP at the flywheel. It ran 12.80's at 106 mph and was street driven with full trim.. I miss it It got about 8 miles to the gallon too

I got them to reply and I bought their 65 dodge awb. They told me that the mold was getting old so I may have to do a little sanding on the body. It showed up less than 2 weeks later and it is freaking NICE. One of the nicest resin bodies I have ever seen. I might be able to get the doors open on this thing its so clean.. I'll definatly be ordering from them again...

thats awesome....

mine went right into my savings account...

We made a small day trip yesterday to a few hobby shops in Houston and Let me tell you. it can be seen. the roads were empty. very little traffic in Houston (compared to last year) and the roads were void of the usual bumper to bumper big rigs on the 10... erie...

I really like the look of the brass pins your using. do you have the packaging so I know what I'm looking for. I'm headed hobby shopping this Saturday and would like to know what I'm looking for....

filled up my wifes honda accord yesterday for $3.62 a Gal. I usually let my Diesel get to 1/2 a tank before a fill up. I can go about 2 weeks on a 1/2 tank in it. Last 1/2 fill cost me $68 .....

Drew. If want to tackle it heres what I did on my pro mod olds a few years ago. I took 1/16 brass rod bent it to 90 degs. lined them up in the frame rails and glued small pieces of 1/16 aluminum tubing to the inside of the doors an theres a set of functional doors that also lift off the hinges. just make sure everything is straight up and down as well as parallel and they'll swing free with no droop...

Thanks guys. Im having a ball...

Got a little done Started hanging the rear brakes and my first time using alclad. Im hooked...

well Ive written them over the past few days with no reply. I did notice a dead link at the bottom of the page about mesothelioma which cant be good. Firstly I hope everything is OK with them. second , I'll wait for his reply before I paypal the 40 bucks for the 65 dodge AWB I'm looking at....
