Mickey Thompson was an innovator like his Ford and Pontiac Hemi heads and his 2 speed transaxle for his Pinto AA/FC cars.. The Ford heads were for the FE engines, interesting as he used multi piece pushrods to make slight turns. Interesting read if you can find the article. The one in the T Bolt actually won the Nat in 1963 in his Light weight 1963 1/2 Galaxie. The conversion to make the Revell T bolt into Micky's Hemi car was to say the least a bit interesting separating what was run in 1964 and what was on the restored car. I took pic today after cleaning the case. It was built in 2013. Paul

I'd say you nailed it! Well done.

RodBurNeR: nice Bonneville up top! hey all, I still am around but struggling to get my hobby hands back, mainly no way to paint right now Jan 16, 2024 22:48:31 GMT -5

jbwelda: NNL West is today, anyone going? Its going to be crazy around there what with the footsball game next door. First time in a while I am avoiding it but hope someone posts some photos. Jan 20, 2024 12:51:40 GMT -5

jbwelda: heard it was announced that next year will be the last NNL West. Another one bites the dust. Jan 22, 2024 13:59:15 GMT -5

jbwelda: yo Mar 19, 2024 13:07:33 GMT -5

jbwelda: looks like visits here are dwindling rapidly...wonder why that would be? May 4, 2024 22:19:40 GMT -5

Spike: What's happening out there? I seems that fewer and fewer members of this forum are building model cars, or are they still being built but not being shared? Jul 8, 2024 13:46:43 GMT -5

jbwelda: well speaking for myself there are a number of reasons I haven't been participating lately, the most likely one is that I generally do not build much during the summer months. Too many other things to occupy my time. Jul 10, 2024 11:36:30 GMT -5

jbwelda: Second, this past year I have been spending time in Jamaica a lot, I have a winter place there I have shared for years now and try to spend at least a few months there a year. I have few or no model supplies there and other things to smoke, uh, do there. Jul 10, 2024 11:37:48 GMT -5

jbwelda: Third, there really has been very little in the way of models newly released that do much for me. All this reissue sixties junk the USA companies push out I have very little interest in. Euro car kits have been pretty sparse the last couple years. Jul 10, 2024 11:39:17 GMT -5

jbwelda: And mail order is getting more expensive. So mostly I have been sitting on the sidelines, but come autumn, I will probably get back into it. I have a few projects I need to finish up. Just a matter of motivation. Jul 10, 2024 11:41:43 GMT -5

jbwelda: I realize many more people here are much more involved than I have been but I too have noticed the huge drop off in participation by those who seem mostly to just look and not build, or at least not post builds here. Jul 10, 2024 11:42:46 GMT -5

Spike: I don't mean to criticize, I just want to see more models. Jul 12, 2024 15:18:22 GMT -5

jbwelda: site seems to have some problems, when i log in from the USA, i get a msg about the site not being available; when i change my vpn to Canada, it comes right up...for instance i am right now "in" Canada. Might want to look into that and yeah, I do know what Jul 15, 2024 19:06:25 GMT -5

jbwelda: I am doing. Might be my computer or the continuing problem with my isp evidently being somehow banned somehow, see messages above. Jul 15, 2024 19:06:59 GMT -5
