  1. lol yeah your a bit older than me so the former would be better… 🙂
  2. No problem, I'll be looking for pics of that when you get to it. If your anything like me that could be next week or ten years lol...
  3. I wanted to put a four tire single axle under it but decided to go with the single tire and axle and I’m going to make a 2 piece drive shaft for it. It’s probably a little light weight for what you would want in real life but I think it will work for viewing.
  4. I did get a little done since then, time is limited right now but it’s making progress, I got the pieces in to make the wheel wells small since I’m going single axle but have to finish the body work and I test fit it in the case and it’s close but it fits
  5. I bought the 72 Chevy racers wedge with the plan of it being a stock 72 like my dad had in my youth so I had to used the car hauler for something. I had a 55 Cameo and a 55 step side that I started a looong time ago and lost interest in both so there is my donors. Used both frames so I could stretch the length of the frame and here is my progress so far...
  6. Nobody said that people in my Ollie’s are the sharpest tools in the shed What I picked up
  7. I was in my Ollie’s here is what they had... of course I picked a few up 😬
  8. Will do, thanks Steve... I'll put them on my want list. Man that list is getting long LOL...
  9. Thanks for the info on that one Steve, at least I will know what to expect. I almost bought a 1:1 57 Cadillac about 30 years ago and have always regretted not buying it. As long as the kit is build able I want one. I've always wanted to build a kit of it...
  10. Nice, I want the Jungle Jim cars and that 57 Cadillac. I like a few of those trucks too. Thanks for sharing...
  11. I was wondering the same thing LOL.... My spray booth is 2 plastic totes glued together with a filter and vent out the back of the bottom tote. I have a bilge fan hooked on it and vent it out the window. If I would have mounted some stuff differently it could definitely be portable.
  12. Bad fix I hate the beach, I would be at the BENCH or in the driveway working on my 1:1 86 F150... 😬
  13. I try to get an hour a day and just do a couple things, I build multiple kits at once so I can do a little on each during my hour. Only exception is I get a lot more vacation time than my wife so when I'm off and she isn't I'll spend a lot of time at the bench...
  14. I’ve been keeping an eye in mine as well and have seen no sale on it as of yet...
  15. ok I got it, so I could put a regular distributor in it but I have noticed the kit doesn't have an alternator so I would have to add one some how to properly change over.
  16. ok cool, so it should come out of the top but the side of that top piece, Thanks....
  17. I'm in the process of updating a build I did about 35 or 40 years ago. I built it long before I knew of anything but Testors products for building but had a fantastic paint job for my knowledge then. So I decided to rehab it using the original paint job and just rebuild it using BMF and adding some detail like plug wires and such. I noticed on the engine that it has a magneto rather than a standard distributor but I have no knowledge about them at all, would it normally just have plug wires out of the top of it just like a regular distributor? Pic of the magneto on the directions (#10) and a pic of the car before the start of the rehab.
  18. Good point that makes sense, I guess I could replicate either about the same way since I wouldn't be putting those wires on.
  19. You could possibly find a color in paint like this to use also, I've used the Dupli-color beige for a kit interior before worked good I thought.
  20. Ok Cool, thanks for the info. I would bet even after they went to duel coils then that the switching was done outside the engine compartment and had something like that. I think I will work on making something to copy that then. Thanks a bunch guys...
  21. Ok, so I guess the wire on the other side runs to the coil then?
  22. Ok I guess I’ll just have to see if I figure out when they went from single coils to duel coils...
