Is that Steve Seller's famous old shoebox pre flames in the first photo?
He's a class act. No question.
A very few people were flying RC in the very late 30s early 40s. It grew over the decades almost always being done by those insured by the AMA...
I didn't feel like I had my pitchfork out. Sorry man.
I'm going to be this guy. This type of behavior is exactly the reason why legitimate modelers are having their rights stripped away by...
Seriously guys. You have to register them. RC planes and helicopters too if they are heavier than 9oz. The Academy of Model Aeronautics has...
I hope that you have been a good "UAS operator" and registered your new flying machine with the FAA.
I'd guess those original imperfections the nonpancakeness had more to do with the stamping of the panels than design intent.
The answer to your question is Joe Barnett's car. I've had a thing for it and 40s in general ever since I first saw it in The Rodder's Journal...
I guess somewhere between 15-20 years ago he had some wild looking design for a new LSR car that he wanted to build. He also had a wild engine...
I'm a glutton. I love these old movies.
I love every single thing about this. Congrats on a rad car and a solid victory.

There have to be more mild examples out there.
Pure inspiration!
Thanks for the heads up. All are set to record...and just in time.
My lazy broke ass would call it done.
Wow that's great Dave. Congratulations!
I wish that I could have been there.
I've had a thing for this car since I saw it in the TRJ (#48 or 49 also has Rex Burnett story) with Jimmy Kings '39 that Dave built. There is a...
Congrats! Someday I'll join the club.
Let me try to do what I wanted to do originally. I too am a big fan of "The Andy Griffith Show", I own "No Time For Sergeants" and "A Face In The...
This sucks. I couldn't imagine putting so much work into something just to have the post office tear it up. Their work ethic clearly doesn't...
Thanks for the photos Bob and a happy 20th to the Shifters. These guys and the Burbank Choppers are the reason that I got interested in hot...
What's the male version of an Orca Betty? Orca Bobby?
Yeah. It looks like the PNW might be the last to get them. Mine was ordered first thing Sunday morning (I spent Saturday in airports and...
I hope mine gets here okay. I'm so weird about my stuff looking nice. You should see me at the book store examining every TRJ on the shelf...
Can't wait for TRJ 55.
