I was wondering if anyone has tried this carpeting. If so, could you give a review? Thanks.

Love those Lincolns. Especially that black stretch model. I am in the process of stretching a Pyro/Lindbergh 1948 Lincoln Continental. A terrible kit just to build stock. Maybe post some pics soon.
That's gonna look great. Of course you meant Continental. I have some Continental fenders and a hood plus grille and plan on doing a woody using the 41 Ford woody body. First going to do a stretch Continental. Just finishing a box stock Continental...whew!!!
This is for you chemists and scientist types. We know about Lazer Bond and Bondic. Is there generic resin??? we could use with a UV flashlight that would work the same?
I'm about to finish a 48 Continental. What a nightmare. But it came out pretty good. More than a 3 month project though. Mine has a Pontiac engine...just because that 12 cylinder that came with it looks more like a shipping pallet than an engine and I had a Pontiac engine in my parts bin. Took some serious surgery to the transmission hump to mount it. I think the Lincoln 430 would be a cool job.
I'd say the reason nobody markets a specific carburetor paint is due to demand and the volume of paint that would be sold. Think of how small a 1:25 carburetor is. Now think of how many carburetors you can paint with an ounce of paint. Also factor in that once a model is built, you can barely see the carburetor(s). So the demand is so terribly low, there is little market for the product.
Similar to what we have here in Thailand, but not as heavy duty. Ours have a one cylinder diesel engine with 10-12 HP. Lots of torque. With a trailer it becomes the family sedan.
Whose going to be the first to build a copy of this. Beyond my abilities, but doable I think. http://www.rodauthority.com/features/car-features/shoe-this-a-blending-two-ford-decades-into-a-traditional-hot-rod/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=shoe-this-a-blending-two-ford-decades-into-a-traditional-hot-rod
I have a problem with the Molotow pens. They are not as shiny, like chrome as I had expected. I'm getting a finish more like a good quality silver paint. Maybe it's my application technique or do they need a certain base coat first. How many coats are required. Thanks. Dennis
Does anyone use a padded workbench for final assembly, so as not to scratch the paint etc? If so, what material did you make it from? I have used paper towels only to find the imprint of the paper towel design on the roof of the model. Would appreciate input. Thanks.
