These should be the last pictures for this car. Other than painting a new wing (I messed up the paint on this wing) I can't think of anything else to do to it.

That's the store. Their warehouse just confirmed though that they actually don't have any stock (vs 3 sets) on ASC 9608 axle washers. They also insisted the $45 shipping quote was the best they could do. For in country, they have free shipping for $75 and more orders, but not for out of country. The...

Ahh not the place I was thinking of. Udisco was the one I used before. You had to send them a list like mail order days and they would process it and bill you for the total including shipping without telling you how much the shipping was. Weird place.

There is a thread on here for “shady eBay id’s” and I would encourage you to post their name so us that don’t want to deal with buyers that don’t communicate before leaving neutral or negative feedback can be block bad buyers.

Since most of my dad’s pics are gone from his posts I’ll start adding some of the cars back up. First one is a Chris Allec special, scratch built chassis that was raced at the nats before the double decker 91 worlds car. Chris gave it to my dad to run afterwards. https://filedn.com/lrK7XiCxEw7LTTVXJ...

Was getting my steps in at lunch, and was walking a trail near Henricus (2nd successful English settlement in the US). I was hoping to make it out as far as a fantastic sunken boat graveyard that is on the property, but the local power company is taking over the land and have destroyed the trail. :r...

I should be set on shocks for awhile, lol.

That is crazy! I literally just listened to Silent Lucidity for the first time in years and had no idea why it popped in my head(this part is true). I don't want to scare anyone, but I think I might be a bit psychic (this part is only partially true)! :shock: Then I listened to this to remind me of ...

Spent the morning rekindling my appreciation for Bad Religion and the whole No Control album.

If I was you I would find someone to glass bead blast them for you. They come out looking new then you just spray them with a clear topcoat to preserve the finish. I've bead blasted for other members here on the board so if you get in a bind drop me a line. Otherwise, stainless steel or brass wheel...
