• Good afternoon guys! Need some advice on my Deuce coupe project.
  • Bob, I really would appreciate if you could email me the eBay seller's info for the block huggers as I am slowly amassing the parts to duplicate my never-ending-truck-project. Also recently saw that exact air cleaner on Facebook that someone was selling, I'll go searching. *NM*
    • You have email Ray! *NM*
      • Thanks Bob... Boy does he have a lot of stuff... *NM*
        • You bet! I just got the block hugger headers last week and while they're beautiful, they stick out too far and don't tuck into the frame. They look great though and will be used on a different project.
    • Please don't use that type aircleaner on ANYTHING. They allow a lot of sand/dirt particles to go thru. *NM*
  • Texas3DCustoms just recently came out with an HEI predrilled *NM* *PIC*
    • And Morgan Automotive Detail has an HEI wired with top in different plug colors *NM* *PIC*
      • That looks good too! Thank you Gerry for the heads up! *NM*
    • Oooh! That looks nice! *NM*
  • Those 1/24th scale Goodyears remember the ones with the lettering is just the outline of the letters. Then 1/25th wheel push it thru then get a wheel ring back push it thru now you have a deep wheel. I may have the tires I'll look later when I'm in my cave. *NM*
    • Frank, are you talking about the old Monogram big Goodyear Radial GT's that were in the '78-79 Trans Am and Camaro kits, among others? *NM*
      • Yes *NM*
        • I managed to find one in my tire bin and I think it looks right proprtionally. I don't think I have any more of those tires though. I looked through the few kits I have that may have had them in but all are gone. Got a couple intact ones to spare? *NM*
          • Problem with those tires is the only wheels you can use are 1/24 Monogram/Revell wheels. I'd order the correct 1/25 tires from Modelhaus. AFAIK they still make tires, and there is a huge selection. *NM*
            • They can be "sleeved" with the outer ring of a wheel that does fit. A good use for damaged or out of style wheels *NM*
          • Let me look for some I know I have some. Now to find the 1/25th wheel push it thru and find a ring w/ depth your looking for so you can have a deep dish. *NM*
            • Thank you! *NM*
          • Those tires were also in the 1/24 1991-ish Ford F-250 and F-350 dually. *NM*
            • Yep! I used to have the duallie kit years ago. *NM*
            • I think they were also included as rear tires in the '64 GTO and '70 GSX kits too, unfortunately none of which I have. *NM*
              • The 1/25 '32 Ford highboy roadster has them for the back too. And possibly on the Bronco that hauled the F1 race boat back in the early 90s. *NM*
              • The 3 in 1 issues of the '78 Z/28 and Trans Am have them too *NM*
              • Street Machine version, blue box art and the blower *NM*
  • Bob, Terry Jesse's article (can't remember if it was Scale Auto or Car Modeler) used actual colored ink to do the outlines, I'd check with him for details if you can't find the articles *NM*
    • Thanks guys for all the great help on my questions! Slowly making progress! *NM*
