Here's the first mock up of my Chevy 210 - I wanted something a bit different, so I decided to drop the 4.3L Vortec out of the GMC Syclone into it. To ease this transition, I grafted the front of the Syclone's frame onto the Chevy's - this would allow me to use the engine mount and front suspension from the Syclone. I had to build a new transmission support and cut some of the floor away to fit the transfer case. Both axles need a little adjusting (rear in and front out) and the front needs to be lowered a little. Thanks for looking!

 

 

I'm starting the AMT 1925 Model T (dropped frame, coupe body, Parts Pack Chevy 283 with the crank driven supercharger) and I'm not sure I like the look of the front suspension parts. Has anyone either made their own realistic front end or put on another front end from a different kit with any success?

For those of you who have teenagers in your life (or those who ARE the teenager in your life), you have probably seen countless pairs of headphones get used and abused. At the high school where I teach, broken headphones are a daily "emergency" and I have some students who go through a couple pair a month! Anywho, after finding pieces and parts on my floor, I noticed that there was some interesting colored wire inside the headphones. I started passing the word around that kids with DOA headphones should bring them my way.



Top left is your typical pair of Apple earbuds. These are what I get most of my wiring. Most come with a gold colored wire in each side paired with either a red or a blue wire. Different headphones come with different colors - green, grey, black, even that red/green combo that's just crying out to be put in a Christmas themed car!

You can also scavenge other parts, like screen (shown) and magnets. You'd be surprised what's inside these things. Just let your kids/grand kids/friends know that you are their new Earbud Recycling Facility!

I've been messing around a little with nail polishes and have had the same problem each time: After mixing the paint 1:1 with lacquer thinner and spraying it through my Iwata at around 30 psi, there is a powder-like buildup (not orange peel). It looks like little round grains of sand. It doesn't appear on panels that I'm currently painting - meaning that if I'm painting the driver's side, the buildup might happen on the roof or trunk, but not the driver's side.

I'm sure it's overspray drying on the car, but I don't know how to correct it. Anyone have a similar experience or hopefully a solution?
