  1. Craft paper/construction paper or brown paper bags... You'd have to watch out for fit/alignment issues.
  2. Nice detail, even did the automatic choke. I have one suggestion, the exposed v of the pulleys should be silver or gunmetal to simulate the belt wearing the paint off the pulley groove.
  3. As one of the early group of Moonlight'rs, I was wondering how Jim Wood is doing. His eyes were getting bad when I was last active in the club. Many years ago I sponsored the engineering award for a few of the contests.
  4. is this Jim character the founder of Moonlight?
  5. Nah, I bet his tires cost more than $600. ;)/>
  6. Ummm, Rivet Counters Chapter 48 is gonna sit this one out and toast marshmallows at the bonfire.
  7. Thanx, judging by an image search a few good looking cars escaped before I could shoot them. :(/>
  8. Now just who is the fargin corksucker that made that dictionary?!!!
  9. Here's some pics, be advised that I took my camera with the intention of saving LOTS of modeling ideas so there will be pics that I/we can use for reference:
  10. Danno and his crew put on another great show.
  11. I have about 300 pics, gonna have to put them on flickr, photobucket won't let me put them all there.
  12. I just had a thought, I have seen a painter friend use colored pencils during his airbrush work, give that a try, or maybe some fine tipped markers...try a spoon test to see if you can spray clear over marker ink.
  13. My advice would be to work it till you're happy with it but to remember that not all pirate maps were drawn by master cartographers. Great work on this build.
  14. IMHO, Harry's art is worthy of being rendered in plastic.
  15. a long time ago I saw that wire mesh was used in transmission filters, I never got around to chasing down one to tear it apart but what I did see was very fine mesh and may suitable if you can salvage some.
  16. ditto what Harry said.
  17. I delivered papers to a dealership that had a row of superbirds parked front and center street-side, at least one in every color that was made at that time. it was an awesome sight for a gearhead that was getting a drivers license real soon.
  18. I'm planning on going, gonna bring my camera so I can store up some modeling ideas/concepts (and count rivets). The only model I have complete right now has already trophied and I'm not a trophy whore so I'm just gonna be a spectator.
  19. You must have some good Radio Shacks where you live, all the Shacks here are useless for real electronic problems.
  20. Good job getting your daughter involved.
  21. it would still be 87 octane but you'd have to have a really small plug gap or a really large coil or just go with HEI.
  22. looks like a cross between a Plymouth and a Pierce Arrow.
  23. That's a lot of good work, nice job on the engine. I suggest in the future not to flock the whole interior, texture contrasts almost always look more interesting to the eyes.
  24. Don't forget to run the lines from the tanks thru a selector valve before you hook up to the fuel block. This message brought to you by Rivet Counters Chapter 48
  25. Just make sure you don't cross-polarize the injector wiring. This message brought to you by Rivet Counters Chapter 48
