Those tires are perfect. I like the way you rounded them off. I might have to do a little more on mine, I like that look! I'm using the steelies and tires from the Lindberg Afterbirth stuff. I have a set of turned alum Moons on the way

That engine is a work of art...beautiful, speechless. Ya need to get that intake cast... Charles Charlie, I ain't makin another. The basic portion of that intake is from the parts box....looks like it might have been a tranny cooler from something or other. I started with wire for the small tubes, but ended up using some small diameter solder that I had. Blower tubes are coated wire. joints are 1/8 masking tape with .010 wire for clamps.

I have a set of turned alum Moons on the way I dont know if you heard of this trick but get a hold of a 7/11 coffee cup lid (the travel lid with the small oval hole in it)the center of the lid has a rounded shape in the middle,just mark a circle the size you need in the center and cut it out.It's an easy way to make a moon disc and the lid is free with your morning coffee!

maybe try rolling the freshly painted tire in baking soda to give it a little texture?

THose are both pretty good tips, Thanks, guys. I have been doing a search on SCTA classes and it looks like the 40 LSR will be in the GC/XF class. Anybody know anything different?

Yeah, Bob, that's the last addy I put in for you. I also have one for admin@thedpmcc.com I don't change my freekin underwear as much as you change your e-mail!!! What are you using now ?? I haven't run the photos thru Adobe yet. I always try to crop and reduce the file size. Cropping out unnessary background and reducing the file size is the courteous thing to do.
