  1. Thank You Actually I built that from various pieces of exhaust parts, Did some heat and bend. Jon
  2. The Beach Boys added a line to their version "You'll see her all the time, just gettin' her kicks now, (Go Granny, go, Granny, go, Granny, go) With her four speed stick and a four - two - six now;"
  3. Also found that a red felt pen works better than red paint
  4. I had an old can of Sapphire (?) Blue Metalflake that I decanted for a project. Needed more none of the local stores carried it. So I ordered a can off ebay along with a couple bottles for backup. So yes it is still out there just not locally in my area
  5. Thanks for all the responses , Ordered the P by P long fined.
  6. Found one listed as a "Long Fin"
  7. That may work, I could polish it and it would look more realistic
  8. Was there ever a Finned Oil filter included in a KIt ? I need to duplicate the one pictured. R&M has one in resin but the fins are a bit small. Withe resin after the Molotow is applied then the red paint applied when I try and remove the red from the top of the fins it looks terrible,
  9. I put the can upside down in a bucket and use a bottom edge cutting can opener (manual) . I let the pressure slowly release for awhile then finish cutting the bottom off. Be careful when you pour it out as sometimes the gas bubbles up and it may overflow. I put it in a glass jar with a surgical glove stretched over the top with a pin hole in a finger tip. This allows the gas to escape with out letting air back in.
  10. Thanks that makes sense. I am building two 331'S simultaneously , one for the Kookie T and one for a Deuce Roadsters. I don't normal work with GM's and I think breathers or oil fill ports Thanks Again
  11. Not familiar withe GMC's but what are the bumps on the valve covers for on the Cadillac 331 in the Roth's Outlaw kit for ?? Google did not show any on stock or hot Rod engines
  12. Thanks . Maybe it just looks big because I mostly build T's, A's and Deuces LOL
  13. Wifey picked up this kit at the Goodwill today , it looks like it is mostly there and unbuilt (no decals). There is no scale size on the box or instructions and only one ad on ebay ($500) with no size posted. I have found it listed as 1/24 th but it looks a bit bigger to me. Any info on this kit appreciated
  14. Looking close at a bunch of pictures It looks like 2 wires go to the side they are mounted on and 2 cross over to the other side. And the same for the other side. I just can't figure out where they mounted the coils. Edit: actually it looks like the coil wires run under and behind the firewall
  15. Now i need to find 2 black pre wired distributors with red wires so I can scratch build one
  16. Drag City Casting has a nice chopped 5 window
  17. Yes both the pictures and link will help. Originally Norm had a Tiki Women Head shift knob. It was later changed to a skull. There is also a skull mounted on the rear springs. They are not glow in the dark but I found some (2) skulls on this Hot wheel
  18. Gathering parts for my Kookie T and it had a Jackson Jerd Distributor. I am not familiar with these and my question is do they use a separate coil for each side ?
  19. I used Formula 560 Canopy Cement on the seat inserts on a pair of buckets It worked better than Micro Mask
