  1. I have a future project and find myself in need of a 4-2bbl manifold for a 331 Caddy mill. Already checked out R&M. Thought maybe someone might have cast one. Thanks
  2. Common courtesy goes a long way.
  3. Even with third party venders , $145 for a Dragula kit is over the top. I wonder how many they sell ?
  4. No kits in our stores. Just referring to online prices. Even with third party sales it seems way overpriced
  5. I bought my first bottle from him at a NNL show/swap meet here in Portland but have talked via email about a custom color so sometime in the future I will be getting one shipped. That was good shipping time to Georgia.
  6. Am out of the loop on model prices or is Walmart somewhat on the high side ? https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=0&page=2&ps=40&query=model+car+kits&typeahead=model#searchProductResult
  7. I just noticed several kits that were lacking steering boxes. The column would be easy enough to scratch build. None of my 64 Mopars have one amd some of the hot rods and others are lacking. As far as the decals I thought I would see if any aftermarket venders might carry them. I have a set from the Tweedy Pie II kit and I am not sure if they will be usable. If Not I will certainly be posting i the wanted section.
  8. Jon Seems a lot of kits do not include a steering box and column, I was wondering if any resin casters carried them ? I have seen master cylinders and other underhood items available but no steering boxes. (yes I did do a search first) 'Also looking for Tweedy Pie Decals

  10. Makes a big difference with the black wash. I will be de-chroming them and painting them yellow. I will use the entire engine out of the 40 Ford kit.
  11. Any more info on the Liquid Createx ??? part number ? I thought I knew most of the Createx products but I am not sure of this one. Thanks Jon
  12. Thanks I will check them out
  13. Looking for a early Ford finned flat head head, Plan on building the Tweedy Pie in the original Bob Johnston version before it was Rothafided. Anyone have one in resin or have seen one in a kit ? Doesn't have to be a Edelbrock. Thanks Jon
  14. Maybe I should change it to "overvalued"
  15. Gas Monkeys 30 Model A Roadster seems about $10K overpriced to me, comparing them with what is available here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Roadster/292661890372?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D53469%26meid%3Dcd542555f6294a0c9ca34b2def63aa4c%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D14%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D292661890372%26itm%3D292661890372&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:dbe23685-9987-11e8-9a1f-74dbd1807e63|parentrq:0fb67c661650aa1282850bdcffff380f|iid:1
  16. All of the above is good advice. I always priced my kits from $10 to $20 depending on their rarity. I have rented tables and still not sold enough to pay for it. Most sellers price very reasonably but there is always one or two that have the old and rare kits that start at $40 and go up. In my opinion the swap meets are the best places to buy and sell
  17. Looking to buy or make a paint booth. any recommendations or suggestions ? Thanks Jon (picture included)
  18. Yes that would go well with the Jeepite. Same recoilless rifle
  19. With Createx (Auto Air, Wicked Colors) it is recommended that you wait 5 to 10 minutes before you use it.
  20. Definitely, reminds me of the old saying " Never fart with the top up"
  21. Found these at Goodwill ,open, complete, unbuilt $4 each
  22. I have a set for my 56. Will most likely order some more nice stuff. The air cleaners did look small. Going with a air cleaner that covers all three carbs
  23. I use a (free) program MP3 Rocket to record youtube videos. Most of Createx videos can be found there. I record all of them and keep them in my paint file.
