has anyone heard of quarter mile replicas?are they good decals?they have a set of dyno dons fairmont decals.i wonder if they will work on futurattractions fairmont.

the reference pics I have always have a glare on the glass but if it wasn't in the rules im sure it isn't there.how close is the chassis in the original kit compared to the real car?i fount this pick of grumpys Camaro.it shows bars down the middle of the tubs but im not sure how it ties into th rear hoop....in the second pic it shows two bars coming down from the cener of the hoop but not in the first pic.

yes that's the tire im looking for.il be putting in an order with you in the next couple of days.ill also be using your fronts on this build.thanks

NEED SOME HELP FROM THE NESTALGIA PRO STOCK GUYS.as the pics show ive started with the intior chassis.by the refrence pics I think ive got the look but I cant find any pic that sows much behind the seat.does anyone have any idea where it goes from here.also i cant tell by any of the pics if the bar I colored in red is on the original car.any help would be great.

boo boo I use the back side of the black handled testors hobby knife.i like it the best because its sturdy.it works great for plastic body because they are thin.dont use it on resin body they are much thicker and the testors blade also get thicker.you end up taking more than you wanted to.

does anyone know what this set up in this pic is called.rb motion used to sell them on his site but there not on his page anymore.its the valve cover air breather attacked with a tube to the bottom of the header.

here some pics of the kit rear tires as they come and after they are sanded down.a little trick I learned from dave t.Untouched tire to the left.the right side tire has the sidewall sanded.they also have the kit drag light rims in them.i will be using micro nitro aluminum drag light rims right side pic.I don't know if ill use the kit tires or not.they look ok but the two piece tire kinda sucks.if anyone knows of a more accurate tire available let me know.

Here are some pics of a mock up I was messing around with a few months ago.i took the cage from a firebird kit because the scale of the cage looked a lot closer to scale than the cage in the Camaro kit.the cage in the Camaro kit look a lot thiner.i also widened the cage buy moving it out to the edge of the body so it contoured to the inside of the body better.the set pins for the kit cage is to narrow.after I get the look im after ill build one from evergreen.

This will be a step by step detail build of Jeff S. Camaro pro stock. doors open,trunk open and removable front clip.I will be using all the after market parts available to make it as detailed as possible. I will use futurattraction,MAS,Micro nitro,pro tech,dirt modeler ect.here are some parts I already have.still waiting on the rest of the parts to come in.

I see what your talking about with the kit hemi being narrow.what about the top fuel hemi? I also checked the top fuel tires they look a lot better.comp resins has a pro stock tire crt 511.it has the same dementions as the tf tire except its not as tall.are the kit front tires good? does ross Gibson or mark johnson have a better engine?

first funny car build of this era. don't know much about these cars so it will be a learning build.i may need some advice from the experts on this forum.this is a mock up and its not to impressive...........nothing looks right to me starting with front and rear tires.ill go with micro nitro rims but does anyone know what aftermarket front and rear tires I need and an aftermarket engine if there are any out there in 1/24 scale.

does anyone know who sells the decals on ebay with the user name cboerne.the decals look great.i missed a set and hes has not put another set up.i didn't want to try and contact him on ebay because of the rules

im looking for a little help on the chassis (intior) set up for the 1983 Camaro reher morinson.im wanting to build a detail doors open removable front clip.i found some decent pics on the web but no good pics of the intior chassis set up.does the chassis just behind the seat have a middle cross bar ect.pics or.description would help a lot.thank you.

here is an update with better pics.the only thing left for the body is the radiator.and then on to the engine.this is also the fist time I used metal stock for the push bar and nurf bars .looks a lot better than painted plastic.

well done and a very clean build.this is a very cool paint scheme.love this car.the body panels look great.ive got the decals but how do I follow this.the panels must have taken a great deal of work.

thanks to dirtmodeler.most of the aftermarket parts are his.for anyone looking to build a detailed sprint car check out his parts.i highly recommend them

1/24 scale.everything is scratch built or aftermarket except 4 parts.the stearing wheel,steering gear,fuel cell and the quick change rear end.they came from the rm sprint car kit.

keading usac build.wheels off engine out.working progress

here are 2 ive done............love that toon car.

its a resin body and it calls for wesleys beche white but all I can find is black magic bleche white.is it safe to use the black magic?

I need to remove mold release on a car body.ive read about wesleys bleche white but id like to avoid using one chemical to remove another.is there another way?

is reliable resins still up and running?

please somebody fill me in on the tdr site.i stumbled on to the site and then found a tdr fotki page.thier parts look awesome.thanks id like to know if anyone has used tier parts.

ive been catching up on the pages ive missed and you've come along way.this car looks awesome.you are taking me back to when I was a kid. I had the hot wheels army funny car.it was my favorite and I wouldn't let anyone play with it LOL.its funny because I don't know what happened to it.i guess I discovered girls and the rest is a mistery...........Ive always wanted to build the 1/25 scale but I don't know much about the fc and the kits have a lot of problems for a novice.youve inspired me to give it a try so ive got a few questions for anyone that can help.the first I can think of is the rear tires.are there aftermarket out there that would be more to scale for the 1/25? is there a 1/25 scale version of this build or am I stuck with the Monza? thanks and I cant wait to see this car done.great job

was wondering if anyone out there has ref. pics of the interior or engine ect. of the firebird pro stock.it don't have to be the summit car just any firebird of thet era will do.thanks.
