IF you need something let me know I might be able to return the favor

Made a visit to Hobby Lobby and pickup some Vallejo Color Shift Paint , Space Dust. I didn't find much about it in the search. It look like they recommend using it over gloss black. I did see on an old post that it was used over white and had a different color to it. Anyone with any tips or info on painting with it ? I have been using Alclad Klear Kote Glossfor my top coats with Createx and Tru-Color with good results. I use a Createx inter-coat clear between the color and the top coat. Should I expect to get the same results from the Vallejo Acrylic ? I can see I will be doing a lot of spoon tests.

Thanks for the info and Big thanks to Muncie for the needed parts

I am working on a project with my scrap pill parts. I am converting a 32 5 Window Cpe into a 5 window pickup. I just discovered I don't have a windshield frame for it. There are no markings that I can find but it is molded in black. I think it may be a AMT but not sure , help in identifying this would be appreciated also any tips on scratch building a frame . Thanks

I normally do a Google search of the car that I am looking for ideas. I look thru the images and most of the time I find inspiration for a build then modify it to my own taste

Found this while looking thru an old 61 magazine . Thought it might be helpful info.

Found a different setup with a couple S.C.O.T. blowers in a Rod Handbook mag from 1961

I would think in early post war racing they would be used because of their light weight

I just drip some in the airbrush cup straight out of the refill ,

Looking thru a copy of Customs Illustrated from 1964 , I ran across this picture this morning. It shows a different way of mounting a 671 blower. Gives me some ideas for a future build. This close to the way they were mounted on the GM

I worked in a Diesel Injector Rebuild shop for many of my younger years. The owner liked to surplus lots and had a few 4-71 blowers on the back shelf. These always interested me to put on a motor. I was told that there was a lot of work to make them usable on a car motor.

Thinking about do a Surf Woodie Model T with Rattan instead of wood. Any place I could find some 1/24th scale Rattan ? Thanks

Yes that gives me some ideas ,, thanks

Any body making vintage speed parts for a Flathead 4 ? All I see in my kits are carb and headers. I bought a 4 cyl hop up kit from R&M but it turned out to be for a "flat' 4 cyl as in VW. Gathering parts for a T.R.O.G. build. Thanks for any info provided

That's w That's what I say to my brother-in-law Jim when I want him to leave "Door James"

I use both ,the cutter and the Xacto knife When I cut a a short piece from small tube I put a piece of wire (or something similar) into the tube so when it cuts thru the small piece won't go flying into the Twilight zone.

Thanks for the info and advice, I will most likely look for a promo

I was thinking about the using the 65 Fairlane Modified body

Thinking about replicating the 65 Ford Fairlane 2drht with a 289 that I had back in the day. I was looking at the 65 Fairlane Modified kit and thought about using the 65 Mercury Comet or 65 Falcon Sprint for donor parts. Any suggestions or advice on this build ?

I use Tamiya extra thin with Evergreen dissolved in it as a filler. You can also dissolve sprue into to match the color of the models plastic. Called "sprue glue" . I have also seen CA use to prevent "shadowing" after body trim has been sanded off.

I got a bit creative and made my own out of aluminum tubing and sheet styrene for the flat ends. Started with a larger piece of of round and flattened it until I got the right shape then added the end plates and inlet/outlet pipes

That reminds me, I need to vacuum out my boat this week

very nice , great job

You didn't ask but I found suitable chain at HB in the jewelry chain area,

Good info thanks
