All Activity

Yup, every time I wash my truck it rains the next day, regardless of the weather report.

That probably came from one of the stamping presses. Or a die. We've got a 10ft, 60 ton brake at work that will pop heads off bolts if you push it to bend something it doesn't want to. My boss found that out hard way. Impressive if that let go all at one time, with the size of those machines I'm not surprised.

this fellow has a 3 part series on undercarriage treatments. unfortunately, he threw in the towel on making videos.

Looks great.

Impressive build on all accounts.

Wow! That's beautiful!

I dont think there was a crack to start this with water. I believe what Bill posted was what happened. The only thing different (before I turned the back smooth) was that it looked like it snapped all at once. There was no noticeable smooth area that picture above called Fatigue propagation. This came from a plant called Doeler Jarvis in Toledo. They poured white metal castings. They did a lot of stamping also. My Step moms first husband worked there.

That looks so awesome! Endless details and top quality execution! Chapeau!

Yesterday I thought if I doused this pot with water, the last sprig of the flowering plant might stay alive. No dice, too hot. Today, the cactus wren thanked me for a nice damp bowl of dirt to cool off in. Was around 113°F when I took this pic. Handy birds, native to southern Arizona here, they keep the excess spiders down to a dull roar. Scorpions keep the cricket population in check.

At least you got something in the sky up there. Down here in this side of the city, 116°F, but with the humidity up a tic to maybe 12%-ish. Sorta was a thundercloud way off to the east, entertaining idea if it headed this direction and remained intact, but now we're just getting wind gusts .....

This is a really nice build,well done.

This is a great build,well done.

Really nice build, your 1/43 builds are awesome .

Seen images of those for eons .. or, well, maybe since the 1970s. Didn't think to look up how they worked until tonight.

without a shell,

I’m trying to find a set of tail light lenses for the amt 1/25 1977 dodge Bat Man goon car/ police car. I have lots to trade for them. Even if you have just one, I can recast it. Thanks guys👍

Real sharp Chevy!

Wash and wax your car brings rain here….

Twisted my ankle Sunday night but enjoyed the forum and watched the Equalizer with Danzel Washington on BET..

Pm sent

Bunny signed contracts

Pleased that we are expecting the rains to start this week. I'm trying to egg it on, all clean, windows down, but didn't do a rain dance.

I am not an AMC engine expert, but I have read that all of the JoHan AMC V8s were actually the early engine series that includes the 327, not the later series engine that they should have been. Someone back me up or call me an uninformed liar please 🙂
