vypurr59 & Jeba - those do look good! Will have to swing by the Shack and grab a few. Thanks a million for posting that tip! Hey Ken - thanks for the heads up on that. Sounds like he got the fuel filter from the Monogram 1950 Ford pickup. I'll check into that, I may have that kit put up. Thanks!!

Hi Jeba - thanks for the reply! I don't believe you are doing anything wrong at all. Just to save some postage - can you more details about these diodes - I was just a Radio Shack and must have missed them. Sounds like a plan tho. Maybe you could find a pic and link to it. If not I'll PM you my address and check these out. I tried the LEDs but 3mm is just too large so I have ordered some 2mm.

Wow - thanks for that Art - much appreciated! I'm exploring the LED (easier) at the moment. I think that may do the trick. The 3mm bulbs are a tad too big - need to find some 2mm to stay in scale I think.

Wow - that's gorgeous!

Hi George! I'm not much of a carver on that scale ... made a mess of a few already. It's an older sediment filter - I'm wanting one for a '57 Cameo 283ci. I did have a thought about maybe a small LED - it has the same shape on the bulb end ... mmmm.

Anyone have a source for aftermarket bowl filters (like pictured) below or thoughts, tips on scratching one? Thanks! Daf

Thanks! Not sure what happened there.

Love it - the paint has an awesome liquid quality, like looking at the surface of a dark lake.

Nicely done! Saw one of the new Chargers the other day, man, they've come a long way since '67.

Wow - very nice!

Welcome!!

That's cool!

Hey thanks, Greg! I'll try it.

Thanks, guys! I'll give that a try, plowboy. Casey - thanks, I'm hoping the touch up will blend - or it's the purple pond.

Hi, During the course of wet sanding with the graduated grits a few high spots and outside edges were rubbed down to primer. Very slight but will need some paint. What is the best way to do this? Try to airbrush just those areas, fill them with a brush? Or put another complete coat on? Hopefully one of the first two. Thanks Daf

Here is a good tutorial, just as an overview of the process.

Interesting topic. I've read some other threads that mention using solder for the exhaust pipes and I would like to see this in action. Would someone who has done so please post some pics? I'd also be interested in seeing how the solder and armature wire looks as a exhaust pipe. Thanks!

That's cool! What is this mystery tool?

Love it!
