Probably ... if he thought he could make a buck. ;-P

Who's closing up shop now? I'm confused. And those are numbers we'll never see. They might be interesting and might satisfy our curiosity but they're really none of our business.

I dunno, I still think trading our food supply for a fuel supply is, um, otnay ootay ightbray, if you get my meaning.

Used to sell a lot of them back when I worked in a hobby shop. Loved our RC Manager's description of flying one: "Balance a bowling ball on a bowling ball ... on top of a broomstick! People would buy them (actually ANY RC vehicle) and ask what kind of guarantee we had. We'd tell them that we guarantee that they would crash it and that we would have the parts and expertise to put it back together again.

Here ya go! Google is our friend!

I like the original best but I have all 4. Collect the set, donchaknow!

Great set of pics, Greg. Puzzled by the photog's comment that 'Queen Daytona' was rebuilt into 'King Daytona'.(Photo 6) That would make this photo kinda ... um ... impossible.

Well ... there's always another one waiting. Really, there is.

Don't really need ammo, just be cleaning the gun when the boys come to pick her up!

According to the article in Hemmings, they could find no evidence that a tow bar had ever been installed in this car but plenty of clues that it had, in fact, been raced. I'd like to find color shots of the red one, myself.

Aww ... give him a break, he's just trying to fit in.

That poor, poor Pinto. What did it do to deserve THAT?

Soooo ... it YOUR fault that winter's hangin' on so tight!

Maybe they foresee a time when they'll be able to reopen the business?

Yeah, I think the million dollar goal is a tongue-in-cheek pipe dream. He had to put a number in there but had no idea what it should be.

::chuckle:: I didn't even know there WAS a Facebook page until I saw this thread.

Right now my projects are stalled because my workshop is in the basement and it's >>cold<< down there!

Ah, but you were too subtle!

How much pressure is required to keep the bead seated?

But it's just right for the owner's taste.

Mark ... I've been watching this entire build in mostly quiet amazement. I have one question that I really need to ask. Do you have a CNC mill or did you do this all manually?

It's Friday the 13th ... but it's still a FRIDAY!

A How-To thread is another animal altogether. If one starts a How-To it is somewhat expected that they will follow through and not leave the thread hanging. A normal work-in-progress thread? Step by step how-to? Really? How many times would you like to see how to do spark plug wires? How many times do you want to see "This is how I managed to paint the transmission a different color from the engine." Do you really expect the expert painter to lead you step-by-step through painting every single one of his projects? If you really want to know "The How" on a work in progress, it's incumbent upon YOU to ASK not upon the builder to provide a step-by-step "How To" article.

In my opinion, ya gotta ask questions. Expecting every work-in-progress to be a step-by-step tutorial is a wee bit unreasonable.
