Short Track and NASCAR modeling

...Yes, it's pretty simple, simply cut to the length needed....clean it out or throw it away after your done using  it.   I wasn't sure about the other brands out there...Iwata,Badger,etc. etc. as far what they use, perhaps someone else knows for sure.

Added the two rear shocks. Just need to add a track bar and the rear suspension will be done. Then I can start priming all the pieces I made including the chassis itself and then paint the parts individually and start assembling the chassis and get it completely finished. I will be able to pose the model for photos with the body on or off. I still have to paint the body again from messing it up with all the handling I had to do with it in mockup work. That's okay because I wasn't really that happy with the completed paint on the body before.

Good source for tubing. Would work good with the taller jars some paint vendors are using

  I shoot a Paasche VL airbrush w/the 1 oz. glass jar.  After my last session, I went to clean the air brush and discovered cracks in the vinyl pick up tube that is in the glass jar.

 
 1/8" I.D X 1/4" O.D micro fuel line (Red) One foot of fuel line cost me $2.00...enough to last me a long time.

 
  As it turns out,the inside dia. of micro fuel line (gas powered weed eaters as an example) is a perfect fit over the fitting on the glass jar lid.  Instead of trying to clean the pick up tube every time I use the air brush,I will just simply replace the used pick up tube with a new, clean one.   

Nice work!! Would make a fine FCS entry!!

Will do, Steve.

Beautiful build, James. I used to be a big fan of Jimmys. Still am. Especially when he was doing his crying towel routine making fun of drivers that whined and stuff. I was at Talladega when he won back in the ninety's.

Started working on the shocks. I was able to get the truck arms attached to the frame, so I made 6 shocks. 4 for the rear axle and 2 for the front suspension. I was able to find a good ref picture for the Monroe shocks that were used on the real car. I used a rate pair to get the size right on them.
