Get mine from Dart Hobbies online (darthobbies.com) located in Ontario, Canada.

Just be patient for a response when emailing Art. He eventually answers.

Some progress on this domestic. Thought Tamiya TS60 Pearl Green would be in keeping with the custom look for the body and wheels.

The vac formed window doesn't fit great so that'll be a challenge. Interior tray will be a primer gray with a Luf's Lady driver figure.

Another one pretty much done.

Once again, THANKS for all your detail on the build!!!

Soaking up all the brass building tips and the mounting pictorial was one of my big questions!!

Is there a "state-side" source for the inserts for the body mounts anyone can chime in on????

@ Dundee Denny - I've not purchased myself but I believe Slot Car Corner sells a set of four mounting post brass screw inserts with the matching screws.

Hope that helps.
