  1. Ive built a few drag chassis from brass but I have definitely learned a trick or two from your tutorial here. Great work!!!
  2. nice work there Jeff...
  3. this is one car I haven't built but would love to build is a belly tanker. great work..
  4. not sure how far you plan on going with this car but if you plan on using the polar light kit the Roof is too short for this car. Speed city is molding a correct body for this car or you can correct it yourself. Just thought I would mention it....
  5. Bring on the drag kits. I cant wait for any and off these. Especially the Carl Casper car....
  6. GREAT JOB!!!!!
  7. great model. Where did the tires and wheels come from?
  8. Nice Darin!!!
  9. will you be selling these bodies...
  10. Darin, This is fantastic. I have plans to do a replica of my nomad and will be watching yours transform. If you need any candid shots or measurements please feel free to contact me as I have a 57 nomad sitting in my garage as we speak. good luck and I'll be watching for updates....
  11. nice work.really nice terrykinnearjr@embarqmail.com Write Terry who is the new proprietor of MAS and I'm sure you can get your parts from him...
  12. Good on you man. She will love it.
  13. Are you kidding me. This blows away anything I build!!!!
  14. Great job on the rebuild! I love it!!!!
  15. Doh!!!! I missed that...
  16. what amazes me John is how fast you crank these out. great work...
  17. Hmm good point Dave, I wasn't aware that RMoM offered the H&C mag which is close enough to modify into the Cirello mag. Man I gotta order some stuff from him again.... I'll put something together on the injectors. They took all of five min. to make...
  18. Its an honor to work with Tom on this car and share with it you guys.... My pleasure I don't like the Mag in the Wynn's kit. I forgot about RMoM having caps. they are great and Norm is an awesome guy. And I wont comment on reliable Resin....
  19. fantastic Alyn. There are some who just pile details into a model and forgo fit and finish. You are NOT that guy. Great stuff here. I'm blown away and can only hope to build half as good as you someday
  20. Thanks to the guys that commented I appreciate the the time you took to look around... Here's another update I built another Cirello "Frankenstein" Magneto. Very popular Mag with the fuel crowd. Surprisingly, I haven't seen one in kit form so I built one. First I cut up the materials I needed. 2" strip of .022x.022 7mm piece of .10x.20 4mm piece of .080 half round small piece (drop) of.060 round rod. round off the four corners of the .1x.2 take the 2" strip and glue it around the edge of the piece you just sanded. Take the half round and glue it at one end on the bottom to replicate the curved bottom. next take the drop and glue it above the half round and drill it to accept the coil wire. now at this point you will need to find a dist cap and glue it above where you'll need to drill the dist for the drive shaft. drill the cap.. the plan is to use an aluminum sleeve over the brass rod. you can use a piece of 1/16 rod for the shaft, the choice is up to you... here you go, Pics are worth 1000 words to me. here's the fuel injectors, pump and fuel blocks. heres the motor mocked up If anyone is interested in seeing the fuel pump built I can do a tutorial just say the word guys...
  21. I LOVE IT!!!!
  22. mid to high 9's is impressive numbers. Just curious as to how you plan to get the car to hook up. you doing anything to the suspension?
