  1. Traveled many miles riding in back of a 60 Ford Country sedan. In my teen years I drove 54 Ford Wagon and later drove a 59 Chevy Wagon. Traveling in the back of that 60 Ford was a lot more comfortable than trying sleep while laying on the package tray or worse try to lay down over the driveline hump.
  2. Almost a month now, still no response to my email order request. nothing but crickets
  3. I would contact Badger for answers, If the airbrush is defective they may fix it or replace it
  4. The hardest part for me will be the exhaust. A club member built a nice one in 1/8th
  5. https://catalog.revell.de/?utm_source=social-media&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=katalog-2023
  6. no criticism here, just an inquiry
  7. I will talk to Jason at our next club meeting and try and convince him to make up some.
  8. I ended up going this route as I had a 32 in the parts stash. It took some finessing as the 32 trunk lid is wider, shorter and has some compound curvature. But with several rounds of "heat and bend" I got it in place. Still needs some finish work on the edges and I see a dip below the louvers that I need to fill but all and all it will works. Thanks for the suggestion
  9. Corded or Cordless, I need one that runs at a slower speed. My Dremel's lowest speed is to fast for some of my needs. I have an older Dremel that runs on a 7.2 battery pack and it is also to fast.
  10. Sent a email order inquiry on Monday and left a message on their FB page , no response yet. If they are slow that's OK but if they are out of business I need to start looking elsewhere for some carbs. Thanks for any helpful responses
  11. Trying out some wired distributers (a bit spendy)
  12. I did a bit of research of the Createx line and discover that AutoBorne sealers are also primers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwBF7XFjpAM&ab_channel=CreatexColorsCo
  13. The flake comes in 4 sizes. The Rattle Bomb aerosol cans come in the smallest size. Watching the videos may help you decide if it is for you. I was mainly interested in the Kandy https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2226/4923/files/TDS01152013001-2_Applying_Roth_Metal_Flake.pdf?5819599158123070388
  14. There are some YouTube Videos with him and he seems a little way out there, that Acorn didn't fall to far from the tree.
  15. Yes this is Dennis Roth, Ed's son. I met him and his mother at a car show years ago. I actually have a T Shirt sign by them
  16. Has anybody had any experience with the Roth Metal Flake and Candy paints ? https://rothmetalflake.com/
  17. Not exactly what you were looking for but may be helpful. I wanted the trunk to open like a Rumble seat and hide the hinge. Used square brass tube and used it for part of the inner trunk support. Used metal wire and inserted the ends into the trunk floor in small round tubes. I took a lot of trial and error to get it to open and close right. The trunk also opens with the bottom going inside of the body.
  18. Thanks not sure about the dimension's
  19. Some great info here thanks guys. Thinking about using some 1/4 round to make the louvers and attach them to some thin sheet styrene. Then cut out the louver section and attach it to the body. This is how I make tuck-n-roll upholstery. Thanks for the info and tips. Archer stuff is available thru Teds
  20. Apparently they are no longer in business
  21. Is that place still in business ? I just tried to order and this came up, "Unfortunately, there is no payment method available." "
  22. Planning a 33 Ford 3W build and need a way to put louvers on the trunk. The body is a resin body. Any and all helpful info appreciated
  23. I know the 2012 had issues with clumping. I did experience this problem my ownself so I went back to the 2011. They recommend that it be stirred and not shaken when mixing. A lot of youtube videos on this and other application of Createx paint.
