I agree on the smaller scales. I have Cobra models from HO model railroad scale up to the old MPC 1/16th one. I have a 1/6th scale Wedge, and a SOHC. Another great guy from this site, has sent me hundreds of pics of Cobras, and a set of chassis drawings. He was kind enough to photograph and measure his own side-oiler for me. I have pics of an FE, that I took quite awhile back. Now I can't read or figure out, the quick sketches and scribbles I did of that one. LOL
I have a weird quirk, when it comes to looking at something, and trying to draw or sketch it. I just can't seem to get everything to come out even, and in proportion. (I once missed a $60K per year job offer, because I couldn't mold a ball of clay to match another one.) So, bottom line is, I need all the help I can get. I would REALLY appreciate a copy of the blueprints. Let me know how you want to do it. I'd be happy to pay the costs of having some good copies done, and I will cover the postage too. With my DSL down, I am not sure my dialup connection could handle it if you'd rather send them by email attachment, but we can try, and if it doesn't work, we can try again after I get the DSL going again. If you have any other ideas on how to get a set of copies to me, let me know, and as I mentioned above, I'll pay you back for any fees that another method might need. Once I get the model going, I might
I just want to say to you, and all the other guys who have stepped up to help me, Thanks again.
Mike
