  1. Wouldn't it be cool if somebody came up with a colored, translucent self-adhesive film you could cut to size and shape like BMF and just apply it to your glass? It seems to me that it's out there somewhere. 🤓
  2. He calls a spade a spade....😏....effectively making him....wait for it......🥴......
  3. I would not expect detail that intricate on something like this; my first comment was just joking. I really like the build. It's imaginative and well executed. I just hope you can put something a little stronger than Coke in that cooler 🥴
  4. Yeah, man, it looks pretty darn good. I was just playing. Not too many people would know that stuff. What you see in the 1:1 is an open drive compressor on the left and on the far end of it is a big pulley. The motor on the right would drive the compressor with a belt. There should be a condenser connected to the compressor with a maybe 1/2 copper line. The condenser is probably located on the far side out of sight or it was removed. On the left of the compressor is a pressure control of some sort. You have a good representation, though, I was just messing with you. Edit: upon close examination, I see the compressor pulley serves a dual purpose because the spokes are made in the form of fan blades. 😀 fascinating!
  5. Oh...the magnet thing is not my idea, I merely passed it on. I've been using it for several years now though. I picked it up, I think, on the old SA forum. Your idea for the "ears" combined with the "nose" magnet, potentially, makes use of the firewall/cowl slots found on many kits. In some of my builds I have closed those unsightly slots intended for "hinges" or used them for wire hinges, as was appropriate. Now, thanks to you, there is another option. Kudos! 🙂 (what's a kudo?)
  6. I like the look - reasonably chopped highboy on pre-war suspension, early hemi, quick change rear. I'm seeing pie crust slicks 🙂....with white-walls 🥴?
  7. Hey! Good thinking! You don't mind if I use that some day, do ya? More than one way to skin a cat, Len.... 🐈‍⬛
  8. I am reminded of Austin Powers, I can hear him in my head now.... "oh beeee haaaave". 😄
  9. When I was a mere child, I was in possession of a scrapbook full of tobacco stamps my grandfather, who had been a butcher/ store owner back in the '20s, '30s, and '40s had saved (for me) and, after he was gone, I had no idea what they were. There were also many foreign postage stamps and such but I was not interested in them. I wish I had kept track of them. Stupid kid. 💩. Yes, I was a stupid kid. I admit it. 🥺 perhaps I still am .
  10. I'm thinking maybe getting away from the "nose" location and locating the magnets at the rear corners rather than removing the lip, but it's just a guess. It may allow easier access for locating them from below. Sometimes it's just not easy 😞. I just looked at mine to refresh my memory. I have a single location at the nose and I see I had to shim the hood magnet on an angle to get it to lay down. Individual results may vary 🥴 anyway, I'm gonna need an explanation about the "mailbox" 🤔.....oh, OK, I get it 😏.
  11. Hey, Len, stamp collecting is pretty easy. All you need is money and a magnifying glass. Just change the angle of the magnets. Tape the hood down tight. It's tricky but you know what to do, and maybe the baby hemi is just growing up 🙂 Go watch a movie.
  12. Yeah, Jeff, you're running out of glue 😏.
