Personally I think "Flames" are over rated, Prefer "Scallops"

On my FB Model Page I have been featuring the AMBR Winners. I have been watching as the winning trends seems to change. In 1950 was William Niekamps's 29 Roadster. In 1958 with the Ala Kart things started to change They started to be way out there and in 65 with Caspers Ghost the imaginations were working hard My page is now at 77 with the Candy Man but it looks like things are changing with tomorrows 1978 winner Phil Cool's 32 Roadster It will be interesting in seeing the trend changes in the upcoming winners

I will have to go check out my 2019 GC Trailhawk ans see if I can find one

I wonder how well they will fit in a Revell body ?

I have a few T bucket build that I have started and about to start. Most of the kits are Revell Tweedy Pie or from the same molds. I would like to find some different interior options other than the Tweedy Pie (which is not correct) . I know R&M has several available for the Model A and 32 but I see nothing for the T. Any info on source or modifications would be very helpful. Thanks Jon

Normally I just spray Rustoleum Satin or Semi Gloss clear over the black primer or anything else that I want to have that type of finish such as engine blocks, transmission , interiors etc.

Your right. I found another view from the other side and you can make out the linkage . If you need more Tweedy pictures found a site with a few

Am I seeing this wrong ? From this picture it looks like only the back carb is connected to the throttle linkage,Not sure of the left side bank.

I have never had a problem with it but I would why take a chance . Createx has a inter coat clear that will help protect it and you can tape some stripes on it without pulling up the paint.

Just clear it. water will wash the paint off Don't wet sand either

I recently received an order from Hobbylinc. Include in the order was 2 bottles of Tru Color paint. The bottles were only about 1/2 full and very thick, absolutely not air brush ready . I contacted Tru Color and they said the they do not supply paint to Hobbylinc and what the sent me may have been setting on their shelves for some time and the thinner (?) may have evaporated. They told me that they will send me the appropriate thinner to make my paint usable. Kudos to them for stepping up. I sent a email to Hobbylinc so they would be aware of the problem and check their paint before it is shipped. As of yet I still have not heard from them. I am posting this as a "heads up" when ordering paint from suppliers

I use embossing powder then paint whatever color I want it to be .

Lately I have been robbing parts from my Tweedy Pie and Outlaw kits,

With my main focus on building T;s A's and Deuces. All I look at anymore is what part are in a kit. My "kit" stash has turned into a "parts" stash

Lots of good stuff here , Thanks for posting

Favorite is researching a build and locating the right parts most hated is chrome foiling trim

Badgers Facebook page has a great video explaining air brush facts including feed , action and mix.

Thank You Actually I built that from various pieces of exhaust parts, Did some heat and bend. Jon

Could be a Dart or a Savoy

Not all of the Beach Boys recordings have the lyric.

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;"

For me it has to be a 64. My version :

looks more like a Viper

Also found that a red felt pen works better than red paint

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
