please remember that this forum is paid for by Gregg H and most likely the moderators don't get paid for herding cats. More than likely when you created your account, you agreed to the very things you are complaining about. It would be unfortunate if the moderators had to adopt the "one strike and you're out" ruling I have seen in Faceborg modeling groups. Please be nice to the administrators and moderators, they receive very little thanks from the cats they are herding.

nice Cunningham, I've wished occasionally that someone would come out with a Cunningham C3 but I know there's not enough market for such an obscure car.

I'm guessing this is what you're shooting for... -

I agree with Rodent, GM "usually" used Rochester carbs. Carter carbs were more common on MOPARs -
bumping this to bring it back in view

What Do You Think?
blunc replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
putting a 6 cyl in it would be more unique than installing a V8.. making it easily more eye catching and will draw even a casual viewer in to look at the extra work you add to the build. -
bumping this because it's coming up soon.

The USPS really made my day... NOT!!! got a pink slip saying they wanted a signature for registered mail, checked tracking per the number on the slip, I have to pick it up from the post office...now for the fun part. their website, mail tracking and automated phone menu all say that the post office where my particular piece of mail is awaiting me is open on saturday till 1:30pm. I drive down there with my tracking slip three hours before their closing time only to see all doors closed/locked, no one there and a sign listing their hours which states they are closed on saturdays. After I get home, I call the USPS customer service number and after a 30minute-ish wait, the person on the phone tells me I have to go to the post office to get my registered mail (well, no shiatsu!), she tells me exactly the fake hours I already know about but was helpful enough to give me a direct phone number for that post office...I called the number and guess what? The automated message says that office is closed on saturdays. I'm a little bit passed the irked stage and working toward the "Things that enraged me" thread. Now, I won't be able to go get the probably underwhelming piece of registered mail till after I get off work on tuesday because monday is a holiday. Hope this isn't time sensitive.

had to take apart the dash in order to get to the power window master switch, my 23 year old car is having plastic parts fail in Arizona (go figure). The passenger window switch went bad and sent the window all the way down (not good due to weather and fast fingered people). Removing the dash face caused more cracked plastic, I'm just not gonna pay $400 to make that look pretty again, the replacement switch is very precious also, at over $200 for a new one (not gonna put an old one in and have it break immediately).
