The old MPC Super Stocker chassis, etc.
hemiman_2010:
Great info Thanks Mark I wonder if anyone still may have one of those catalogs it would be a good reference for a lot of period correct short track builds.

I had it bookmarked because several of the photos in it showed that this MPC kit chassis was an almost exact copy, (& I'm talking 95-98%), of at least one of the chassis Ed offered back then. Sadly, whoever had that Fotki account no longer does. Some of the chassis he offered differed in some details, such as the front hoop & bar setups, but Ed did offer a chassis that looked identical to the MPC one, including the A frames, control arms, etc.......

Are you using a 3rd party photo hosting site?

Yes, Imgur, but I also tried doing it as an attachment directly from my pics folder, & had the same problem.

As far as resizing goes.....
You wont be able to post directly from your hard drive/folder....I use PhotoScape to crop, re-size, etc. etc. its FREE :)

I can't thank you enough for putting that Fotki page back up! The pics of the 1/1 Camaro you added are another valuable reference.
I got PhotoScape downloaded & I'm learning how to use it, again thanks!
