that is such an obvious solution. I tend to over analyze things. I would have never thought of that.

I look forward to it. I hope some of you folks can make it out.

My son and I are building our first fender car. I have some questions if you don’t mind. There’s several. Feel free to answer what you care to. How critical is the design/shape/installation of fenders? Is it one of those things when done right help and when done wrong hurt you? Obviously...

Damn. Wish I would have seen this before I ordered a can. It’s taking forever to get to me from Amazon.

Is there any simple DIY guide pin methods? I was thinking of just cutting the head off an axle and bending it, but curious if there’s other solutions I’m not thinking off.

How often does he hold events? I stumbled across it while trying to find some events to take my son to. it’s probably about 2 hours for us to get down there, but it’s quality family time with my boy.

I used an oil based primer on my son car. The high solids and ease of sanding works similarly. Sanded smooth as glass and eliminates the grain texture of pine. Seems that some like vinyl stickers as they are supposedly lighter. I’m curious as to what a few coats of dried rustoleum actually...

Spoke to the host on the phone, seemed like a nice guy. Proceeds to benefit the fire dept. Does a racing for pink slip event which sounds really cool. Competitors get a few fake pinks slips to use at the event. Two racers line up and each control the pin to drop their own car. Like real drag...
