  1. EG, it looks like the car frame. Tweaking the "small" changes is part of the engineering process. I like it. Hope your health holds. Your entries in any log are always worth reading, even if only for the giggles.
  2. There was a dirt track in New Egypt, NJ, where I used to live. Friday and Saturday nights. And bring your goggles, because the clay was spread around, especially thru the corners. That was some pretty exciting racing. Wrecks could be spectacular. I'm sure you old gearheads remember jalopy races. 😄
  3. Wall Stadium in NJ was a hot spot. Now it's a housing development with McMansions. 😝 Trenton, Flemington and Langhorn Racetracks from NJ and PA are memorialized by the big NASCAR track in Mt Pocono, PA. The old tracks became shopping centers and condominiums. 😖
  4. Craig, that's a real puzzlement. I like your solution. Do you really want to chase down a set of wheels for this beauty?🙄
  5. Frank, I would suspect the wood deck goes over the plastic for support. You will probably have to remove any plastic deck fittings, too. Can you get a copy of the veneer instructions to see what may be required?
  6. Another putty material is Durham's Water putty. I also use Spot Putty from Bondo. It had an odor, so use outdoors or with adequate ventilation. It sticks nicely to the plastic. You should prime it for painting. Thin sheets of styrene from Evergreen Scale Models. They sell a combo package with a number of thicknesses; the sheets are 4" x 6", I think. Evergreen makes loads of styrene strips and shapes , along with the sheet products. Most is white styrene, but they do make sheets in black. Here's a link: https://evergreenscalemodels.com/
  7. Saw the glacier outside Anchorage, Alaska and it was as Thukydides describes. Never did see the ones on Denali; always wrapped in clouds.
