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

Thanks, there is some great building tips, I will be checking it out.

Any tips on doing a 32 Deuce rear Roll Pan ? thanks

If you need rear end and spring stuff you might look at some of the Revell/Monogram 29 pickups.

Thanks , I found one in the Mongram 32 Street Rod Classic Cruiser

Putting on a Doane top with a Duvall windshield and they only bodies I have are the AMT sectioned bodies which are too narrow in the back for the roof to sit right and the one none sectioned body I have is tweaked so the top sits on it a bit wonky. What other kits have the non-sectioned bodies ? Thanks

Looking for a vender that has aluminum Blower Drive Pulleys and Belt. I know Mr Model has some but I would rather not a month or longer. Maybe someone closer than Brazil. Thanks

he also has a facebook page

His stuff is first rate

Any info on Mr Modeler ? I ordered some items on Dec 8 , Paypal send him the $ but I have not received any communications from him and the web site to be void of items. Thanks Jon Just received email from them. I was unaware it had to come from Brazil LOL Sounds like I should receive it before to long. " Hello, Jon. Our site automatically send e-mails when the order status changes and you should receive them. I’m sending this email from another address because sometimes our main domain (mrmodel.site) not reaches Hotmail accounts, let me try this way. Your order was shipped in Dec 10 and it leaves Brazil in Dec 11. Unfortunatelly registered mail is not trackable in some countries and USA is one of them. The orders from Ebay are taking about 20-30 days to be delivered in USA. I don’t know why but Ebay’s tracking is the only one that tracks our parcels but it works only with their orders. I’m sorry by the delay. Thank you, Alaor Gosdal Mr. Model "

Well to start out , I am retired and with this pandemic my weekends are 7 days long. My second point is stop talking about my Mama .

I think I found a suitable body in the AMT 29 Ford Model A Roadster kit. Similar to the AK but no custom cowl and the narrower. Also as AK top and similar interior

Disclaimer : I did do a search and did not find what I needed. I am using some foam for a headliner on a up-top I am making for a 32 P/U Roadster. What I need to find out is how to round the outside edge of the foam where it will be visible. I will post a picture after the primer dries on the top and I can take one. Thanks

I have two of the newer kits and I am using both tops to make an up-top for a 32 P/U Roadster. I will be using one of the chassis assemblies for another 32 Roadster. Not sure yet what I will do with the other. This leaves me with a A/T body for a future build.

I have been working on a 32 P/U Roadster and thought maybe later I would do a Model A P/U Roadster. I don't really want to use the standard 29 Open Cab with the flat back. I was looking at the Ala Kart body which started out as a 29 OC body with a T Bucket back side grafted on. My question is , have they used this body in any other kits ? Some Google image searches showed some 30-31 OC Roadsters with the rounded corners on the back. Thanks

I made the mistake of not checking the Gorilla SG out when I bought a couple bottles and they had gotten very thick and unusable so I saved the tops for replacing the plugged tops on the other bottles. When a top gets clogged I replace it and soak the clogged top in acetone for awhile then poke out all of the glue buildup and use it as a replacement cap

I used the Surry top for a Tuck-N-Roll Tonneau Cover and seat backing on the Willys project, It may make a good mold pattern. I have also glued Evergreen 1/2 round to a thin sheet of Evergreen then cut out the section I needed. Also individually glued the same 1/2 round straight to the seats. Using Tamiya Thin makes the the plastic somewhat bendable.
