Title: A few new things from Ron Coon
Post by: Tom Birky on February 28, 2023, 12:47:00 PM

Good afternoon guys. Heres a few new things I recently purchased from Ron Coon Resins.

Left to right. Triple master cylinder, filler tank (think deck mounted rear end filler), rock deflector and 4 link bars for mounting your quick change. I had to cut a little spacer to line things up but it saved me hours of fabricating. I also adapted the filler tank into a dry break for my Chevelle. Just cut the cap off, drilled out the center and added a little piece of rod for the plunger.
Last, but not least, a new bubble fender 74 Camaro body. Designed by Lance Spangle, molded by WFC bodies and sold only thru Ron Coon Resins. Really good looking body! The finished pic was built by Lance Spangle to show what can be done. Support these guys for supporting us!

  Tom,
  Does it look possible to you to convert the 4 link into a Z link?

In my opinion, probably not. Its 3d printed, and even though it's fairly strong, 3d stuff seems to be a little brittle and unpredictable when cutting.

Thx! Tom

.... I was thinking along the lines of cutting the bar (link) between the mounting bracket and floater out and replacing it with Evergreen rod OR would I run the risk of damaging the the mounting bracket and floater in the process.

I've found if you saw that stuff you're ok. If you use a sprue cutter or exacto you never know where its going to break. If you're really careful you might even be able to carefully drill the brackets for new rods.

Thanks for the plug Tom. Since the time you purchased a rear end filler tank and turned it into a drylok fuel inlet I have designed one and it will be available starting this weekend  8)
