When I saw this video it made me think of repairing plastic bumpers using a plastic welder. I remember buying that hot knife from Autoworld and being disappointed with it. However after seeing this i had a woodburning set so i dug it out and tryed it on a junk body. It worked okay but a temperature control would help, I think mine was a little hot. However i could see it working well with a little practice .

What did you learn to drive in?
goldfinger replied to slusher's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Drivers Ed car at my high school was a an '81 Chevy Citation( donated by a local dealer and fittede with a passenger side brake pedal). That got me my license.Dad then taught me to drive stick on a Volkswagen Bus , then later taught me to drive fast on a fiat 124 . -
I forgot to take the engine pictures.! And I did put some cargo in the back . I will probably add a few more items.

I I finally finished one! I used a Jimmy Flinstone resin conversion for the Moebius 53 Hudson . Phantom Speed and Marine is a mythical speed shop I came up with for a future diorama. I will be adding more vehicles to the fleet, and they will all be "phantoms". A little backstory on the name, my brother rented a the end of a building from a garage called Canton Car Care, and the owner used to fool around answering the phone "Phantom Car Care, division of Midnight Auto, open twenty four hours , but not in a row!"

Why does this remind of me of a Minion turned Transformer? -
Modeling vs. reality
goldfinger replied to El Roberto's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
A lot of times I want to build a model as a styling exercise, and there's no need for a drive train, but I cant bring myself to build a model without it! But that is the fun of modelling, you can build something in styrene or resin that would be impractical or impossible to build in 1:1 . If it doesn't work into the parts bin it goes! -
How to pronounce Porsche
goldfinger replied to afx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
then there was the guy who hired the ( not so smart person) to paint his porsh, and she came back and told him it was done, but it wasn't a "porsh". it was a BMW....... pronunciation is everything!
