This will be a long project since I don't have a lot of experience so I'm going to take it slow since there is A LOT of extra fabrication that goes along with this one!   |

This will be great to follow. I have a Shell donor that is to become a roadie.

Wow, five more... You are going to be busy for a while. It's going to look awesome once it's complete.

Dixon's Coor's Silver Bullet would top my list. That car was beautiful...

What are you going to do for drivers' helmets?

Planning on doing The Silver Bullet after this KOOL car...as far as helmets, they probably won't have any other than the player's car. I don't know anyone who does helmet decals

The Coors car has flourescent graphics. How woolly the decals get printed?

Idk yet haven't had the artwork done or gotten anyone to print them yet. So that problem will be tackled once I get to it. Will be a fun project to do...all of these will. Its gonna take some time cause I'm not a rocket like Ralph is...

I would like a set of those decals if they get produced, if possible?

Not sure who will do them but when they're done I'm sure you'll be able to contact them about it. People (for the most part) are pretty cool about that here.

I just got a new dremel because I was getting no where with my old one. It wasn't cutting through anything and dying in like 2 minutes. So this new one has a cord and damn its awesome! I cut all the pieces for the front RC wing on a DW12 in like 30 minutes! it took me two weeks with the old one! So as soon as I am done with my current DW12 project and finish my father in laws 1936 Ford I'll get back on this one!

Its gonna take some time cause I'm not a rocket like Ralph is... Nothing "rocket" about any of these, have fun. I did 1 02 Dario RC, 2 02 PT SW & 1 Dario 02 Rockingham. Lots of work on all, but worth every hour. I have 2 donors left. |

What kind of rear wing does the Tracy donor have? Looks more like a version of the Handford Device rather than a two plane road course rear wing. Someone stole one of these off eBay this weekend for only like $60 (since us mere mortals don't get super deals like you!).  Jordan |

It is the Hanford Device wing. Not the correct wing for this car.

It is the Hanford Device wing. Not the correct wing for this car. Ralph is right. Wrong wing for a RC car. I have a spare Reynard that I will borrow the rear wing from. May try my first resin cast so I don't have to buy old Reynards just for the rear wing. And for the front wing after I build it make all the rest I'm gonna do a lil easier! |

Where are you buying your RTV rubber? May I suggest Bare Metal Foil 71-20. Absolutely indestructible. The blue RTV that is sold at Micro Mark tears very easily. I started out with this until I found 71-20. |

I'm getting started on the brass for the raised side pods. Question Ralph...did you spray the silver overthe primer or did you have a white (or other color) base coat? |

Yes silver over white, pearl white is even better. |
