1957 Chevrolet 150 Black Widow
twopaws replied to Jim B's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Since the 47 and 87 are real race cars in NASCAR I suggest you google images. Bunge cord was not introduced until sometime in the 1970's, it's my belief that another media was used. More than likely rope was more readily available. Than is such a great kit, I've built several and found no problems. craig cochran -

I received my first order of carbs from Fireball today and everything I had read on this board was spot on. They resemble jewelry work, I will be a repeat customer. Thanks.

Do any of you guys know if this fits only the MKI versions? I was wondering if it could also be used to convert a MKII kit to the MKI, not much of a sports car guy but have always admired the gt40 and want to build one. Also there was an article in something that gave a pretty detailed description of using the HRM stuff does anyone remember where it appeared. Thanks for any and all help.

finally going to make it. Cross one more off my bucket list. Plan on being at Houlihan's and look forward to renewing friendships and meeting some new friends. Look for the gray haired guy with a gray beard. LOL I will be wearing a name tag so come up and introduce yourself.

Do any of you know of an injector manifold for the SOHC found in the willys kits. Kit sourced or resin are both ok. Guess if one is not out there I will have to scratch build one. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Sad Sad Sad News: Our Harry Passed Away

Godspeed Harry and my thoughts go out to family and friends. -

Had this problem earlier in the year, called BMF and was told that it is a glue application problem. He replaced the three sheets I had purchased from them and the replacements are ok. No matter how or how much you burnish that alligator finish will not dissappear. Craig

Junior Stock drag racing question
twopaws replied to bismarck's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
For a good reference Google Bob Lambeck's 1957 Jr. Stocker, one of the best in it's day. One of his 57's was a 150 with FI and a four speed, I built a replica of that car. Craig -
Bought two sheets from local hobby shop that has a good turnover of products, they each contained miniscule, almost microscopic lines. I called Randy at BMF and was told the roller appling the glue caused this. I ordered three sheet direct from them, they arrived and each had the same texture issues. When applied to a model, no amount of burnishing will remove these fine lines, the surface now has the texture of 1/25th alligator skin. They are all over the sheet, not like the big wrinkles I have seen before. Anybody else having this issue?

I too use the old spoon test, besides providing a great couple of surfaces, you can also write the combos you are trying on the handle. -
Slicks Size Comparison Charts?
twopaws replied to 10thumbs's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Some of the calipers we sell at Grainger, have a decimal to fractional conversion listing on the back. Some but not all.
