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

Looking for trunk louvers for a 32 3 window. I thought maybe the one that comes with the 5 window might work but it is not wide enough and has the wrong curve. Any other sources available ? Thanks

Mail from Santa Norm

I put the entire car into the dehydrator with the front propped up so the wheels were just off the ground and left it for awhile and the axle returned to shape (mostly). I will just have to store it with the front propped up from now on.

what about the "240 Zed" across the pond ?

Whether you pronounce it "Porsh or "Porsh-a" depends on if you own one or not. I watch Curse of Oak Island and Gary sometimes finds artifacts made from "Pooter" but not during a "Hurrycan"

I did look at the fotki site already

I sent this kit to one of my Grandkids but apparently it did not have the instructions, He is Autistic and won't be able to put it together by himself with out them. It may be some time before I can get together with him as he lives in another part of the state. Any information would be greatly appreciated Thanks

I built this straight axle car about a year ago using a 3D printed front axle. I brought it out from storage the other day and found that the axle had developed a bend . I assume this is from the axle being to soft and over time it bent with the weight of the car on it. Is this a common problem? I am thinking the next parts I get I will be more selective on their use.

definitely more brown. here is an interior I am currently working on. The floor is the red primer with embossing powder and the seat is red primer with a satin clear over it

Thanks

Well that looks a lot easier than what I am doing, Cut out a section of round styrene tubing for the center and cutting down headlight buckets for the ends
