I bought the Scot blower kit from Norm last month and will be ordering the the Ardun setup and manifold soon.

Shapeways has several different sets of heads in both 1/24th and 1/25th scale, R& M also carries a bunch of flathead heads and manifolds. https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace/miniatures/vehicles?type=product&q=flathead&s=52#more-products

sorry i asked

Is there any bumpers available for Track Nose Rods ?

Isn't there a tutorial on this somewhere ?

The 68 has different tail lights and did not have wing windows also

I believe Molotow is actually an ink product. I think for your application a rattle can chrome would work better and last better over time.

Very interesting, Would like to see something on the use of aftermarket heads ,such as Arduns

Thanks for the replies , I found some at Gofer Decals Thanks Jon

Would Michaels carry the transfer letters ?

Where can I find some drag class decals ? Need som A/FX. I looked at Slixx and did not see any Thanks

R & M has the streamliner Kart and a Triumph motorcycle

Bearings are sealed, not sure where to get them but they are not cheap

Ibuilt one using a clear plastic bin turned on it's side. Built wooden frame work around the back side and mounted a 4" ventilation fan. Attached a dryer vent hose and run it thru an opening to the outside, I a furnace filter inside the bin and put a light on the top. As an afterthought I should have made the vent opening on the top as it draws all the dust across the painting parts. Still need to use a mask.

That could have been the problem. I cleaned off the old paint and will clean them again with alcohol. Then retry the paint. Will using a dehydrator help or hinder the painting ?

This is my first time dealing with Shapeways parts. Working with a set of dump headers. I primed with white primer and then a coat of flat white (Duplicolor) . The paint seemed to stay soft and rubbed off when handling. I want the flat white header look. Any suggestions on painting 3D printed parts ?

I don't think any of the Createx Clears are very glossy as the name states. Work better for a intercoat clear for masking. I have tried the Spaz Stix clear over Molotow Chrome. I put Molotow Chrome on two steering wheel horn rings and brushed on some Spaz Stix Clear on one. They have been setting for about two or three weeks with no discernible difference. Next time I will try air brushing some on a larger part and do a comparison .

IMHO for a Old School Wedge build, the Cross Ram manifold is what gets my blood flowing. Think hood with open sides and carbs sticking out.

Thanks for the info and suggestions. Not sure which I dislike more, PE or BMF LOL

Just started working with photo etched parts , any good tools out there for bending and cutting ?

I used to buy wired distributors and pulleys from them but they have been out of business for awhile. I see nothing on ebay

I dip mine in the purple pond after removing the metal clips then put it in the shallow end of the pool so nothing gets in the inside. I have only dipped the one with the clips. I will separate the wire stand so when I am painting bodies it will fit in the dehydrator.
