Thanks Tom I'll check them out. My last order was with CW MOSS in California. There catalog was great. I ordered on Friday and parts where at my door Monday. Now they are in my state so that is to be expected. In my short time in this hobby I found this, different suppliers, same parts. Only so...

I am new to the A hobby and my biggest complaint with them is they are just slow. Maybe I feel that way because I have building cars for a long time and order a lot of stuff from summit but shipping is expensive and slow from Mac's. I always try And support my local shops befor i order. Sent...

I had a pop out switch that was no good so I made this. This puts the aftermarket switch into the original hole letting you use the original 3 screws mount. It's still a work in progress but it's close. It holds the key tight and looks original from the front. 3d printing technology in a model...

After work I went to a buddy of mine who has a 31 that we just completed a 12v conversation on. His car to has not ran in 30+ years. We completed the wiring and was able to start it for the first time. That being said I know I'm doing the timing right. My new concern is that his motor turns over...
