  1. Great work! I just thought that I would point out that the fuel pump should have an cast aluminum upper part with a zinc plated lower part.
  2. I'm too young to have a "back when" story but I'll tell you about something my dad did. Back in the 70s when my dad was in high school he built a hot 327 with a Muncie trans for his 57 Chevy. One day he was testing the clutch and ended up falling off the milk crate he was sitting on and the car just kept idling down the road.
  3. Tell that to the people around here that drive with their high beams on.
  4. Your models are always really nice. I couldn't put that much detail into a model.
  5. I have an Edelbrock carb and intake manifold so I don't know if the linkage is completely stock but I think it is. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/462C8C0F-60B3-4007-91FA-D3F33568B856_zpsyzgjm50w.jpg http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/70C378A6-D31C-4E8D-A8E4-A1DD374ACC53_zpswqmxdsd9.jpg http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/0F852EB1-0878-43FC-9581-101DF1CA7029_zpsosc6it1n.jpg This is the stock bracket. http://www.cjponyparts.com/accelerator-spring-bracket-v8-4-barrel-1965-1966/p/HW1333/
  6. Even though I think it's neat, there is no replacement for displacement!
  7. The dipstick is next to the coil and you can see where it goes into the timing cover. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/1FA72C11-3844-4EB6-99C0-4C319EDCAEDA_zps1tisjrqc.jpg The yellow thing is the oil filter. I didn't realize how hard it was to get to from the top. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/9F51616B-F5F7-45D8-8FFA-CD70B17309E8_zpsalpbrnvu.jpg BTW, The heater hoses are not in the factory location.
  8. If it would help, I could post a picture of any of the engine parts from my Mustang.
  9. I doubt that there really is a "Mr. Stanley" and that he is trying to avoid getting charged for grand theft auto.
  10. I would be willing to bet that when it was stripped the visible VIN numbers were ground off. If this happened to me I would steal it back.
  11. If I remember right the area between the spokes should be charcoal gray.
  12. The chrome trim around the wheel well was standard for the GT but could be deleted. It could also be added on a non GT.
  13. I'm 15 too and I enjoy building models because I can build cars that I can't have. I have been away from the hobby for a little while because I have a 1966 Mustang, 1979 H/O, a 1971 Camaro, and a 2001 Dodge Dakota so they keep my pretty occupied.
  14. This is so stupid. What happens if a computer malfunctions and wreck it? Huge lawsuit. I'll stick to my old carburated engines and manual steering.
  15. Um, wow, I haven't been here in a long time. So now for my question. How do I get spray paint out of the can? It's not for a model, it's for my truck but I figured that this forum would be the best place to ask. I have a can of spray paint for my truck but I need it so that I can brush it on or something like that. I have tried it before and the paint dried before I could use it.
  16. I know a guy that worked for FoMoCo back in the 70s.
  17. 2001 Dodge Dakota 3.9l V6 - Mine 2007 Nissan Altima V6 - Moms 2008 Nissan Versa - Dads 1966 Mustang 289 - almost done 1979 Hurst/Olds - my dads only new car, Needs a little work 1971 Camaro - Needs rebuilt from the ground up, Gonna put a blown 383 in it 1997 F150 - Dads 1985 Honda TRX250 2004 John Deere Gator 6X4 - Stalled project
  18. My suggestion is to trash the Rustoleum and get Krylon. I always have problems with Rustoleum cans clogging up but I've never had a problem with Krylon.
  19. I use rattle cans. I have an airbrush but I'm too lazy to get it out and mix paint.
  20. I remembered reading that but couldn't find it. Thanks.
  21. Is there a kit that Has bucket seats and a rear bench seat with molded in button tuft interior? How do I make button tuft interior with real leather? I need some help on this part of the interior of my 57 Chevy.
