Movie cars are a strange breed. As an example the Austin Martin and Jag in the last James Bond flim were tube chassie with Ford small block power. Aside from the glass body panels the only thing owed to the real cars was the engine location. Movie work in action films uses up quite a few cars so...

Dan, As I watch the news tonight I see that Georga has been hit by tornados. I guess when these large storms come up thier is really no were to run. I was speaking with a friend that has, or I should say had water front property in New Orleans before the storm struck and he had come to grips...

Ron, I'll make sure I go thru the forum to get to Eastwoods site. Peter

IMHO, it makes no differance if the clip went first and the off broke the suspension or the suspension broke driving the clip up. Each and every one of us driving or building a 40 regargless of the manufacture should have a secondary and positive method of locking the rear clip other than just...

Ross / Hersh You guys are better than a build manual, I suspected that cutting a pocket in the bulkhead was the answer but wanted to see if anyone else had encountered the issue. I will make the cutout for now so that I can move on with hanging the body but when I get to doing the acutal...

During the build up of my chassie I was carfull not to mount the expansion tank to high so as to avoid inteferance when the rear clip closed. The manual does mention this as a cautionary note. As you can guess I have interferance but not how I had envisioned. There is a bulkhead bonded into...

This is a timely post because I have just removed my front and rear clip from storage in a shed in South Florida were the parts have sat for 18 months. The clips were stored laying flat with the rear clip in the normal position and the front clip inverted. I did take the procaution of supporting...
