But what if Cap's interpretation of the cut line is different then everyone else's? For instance Jerry Ward says he can't see, even though he's lying and he really can. His car will be high and he'll just say "What cut line, I didn't see one".

Way to go Cap, now we're going to need certified "Car of Tomorrow" body templates.

Mr. Frank,

Ain't it so cool that now that gasoline prices have come down to ONLY $3.65 a gallon we seem relieved? :laugh2:

The first time it cost me $20.00 to fill up my motorcycle was a real shocker! :shok:

Thank God slot cars are electric vehicles!

Will be interesting to see how much better things are after Gerding is finished upgrading it... :unsure:

Gee... if you upped the voltage to over 14 volts you probably could have the fastest ORIGINAL American King track in Ohio... ;) :laugh2:

I wasn't sure what everyone was talking about at first regarding the bumper rule but then I took a close look at the bodies after I cut & painted one. Following the cut line, the rear bumper seems to have the 1/8" but the front it closer to 1/16 when following the side cut lines.

Ron, if Frank had said 1/8" minimum front bumper, you can cut the whole splitter off and still have the required minimum :laugh2:

But Frank took all the fun out of it :rolleyes:
