What year model is this truck
Jon Haigwood replied to TarheelRick's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
found this 63 f100 on craIgslist today. Looks like the one, Its a short bed like the 64 I once owned, I would buy it but it is a "wrong bed" -
Is it just me or is the forum pages slow loading ? Right now it is slower than a Smart Car on the Autobahn.

You couldn't make this stuff up...
Jon Haigwood replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My personal favorite was while in a Automotive class at a Community College a gal brought her car in because it was running bad. We pulled her purse off the chock knob. She pulled the knob out to hang her purse there. -

2K Clear advice needed.
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This was a fresh batch, purchased a couple months ago, mixed in a fresh glass jar. Sprayed in area with low humidity and 60deg. I think I may order more thinner from Splash, He is from my local area. i think my Eclipse may have a larger tip .Actually the finish is too shiny for this build and I may go back to Alclad klear -
I finally started using my Splash paints. I needed some Pepper Grey and Pepper Black for my Elsinor build. Since I already had some of their 2K clear I thought I would give it a shot. I mixed it as directed but it seemed to be to thick for my Patriot 105 with .5 tip. I add some of the Splash thinner but I didn't have very much and it would still not spray. It would spray a bit at first but immediately clog. I add some Lacquer thinner and it would flow OK but it seems like it never really hardens. This is my first attempt ay using 2K clear. Any advise is appreciated Thanks

Dremel replacement wrench and collets?
Jon Haigwood replied to iBorg's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
On my former job I would order the Dremels for my department. Some of the crew would tighten the chucks so tight that it was almost impossible to open them. After a few of these when I received a new set I would throw away the wrench and put a keyless chuck on them. I have the chucks on both my Dremel and my Craftsman ( made by Dremel). The keyless chucks won't fit on the Chicago Electric (Harbor Freight). -

Splash paint application ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Splash paints labeling is a bit off. I looked up the number on the surfacer and it was the same number as the primer. I believe the clear activator is for the clear , still unsure on the catalyst. Some bottles don't have any numbers on the label. I did purchase some of these a few years back and some just recently, which may be the cause of confusion,
