Dremel Drill Press ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Dremel I mounted in it is a variable speed and of all the ones I have it has the least sideplay in the shaft. I know in machining that rigidity plays a big part in the quality of work so I am trying to make as rigid as I can -
My Model Club (S.A.B.A.) had their annual Club Auction earlier this month. People bring in stuff they don't want and auction it off with the money going into the Club. I picked up this Dremel drill press and a nice Pin Vise and cutter board for $3. I have done some machining and know this has it's limitations, but plan on using it drilling, sanding and some light milling work. I have ordered a micro vise and adjustable table for it. Anybody have any experience using one any tips or advice is welcomed Thanks Jon

Favorite street rod of all time
Jon Haigwood replied to LDO's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Tommy Ivo (a friend of Norms) actually snuck into Norms garage and took measurements and information from the "T" to built his Bucket. -
To answer my own question, the Showboat kit includes the back window for the Victoria top.

A current link would be handy

Mine is the iconic "Kookie's T" built by Norm Grabowski. Arguably considered the "Birth" of the Bucket T. (your results may vary) -
I would be more interested in a 1/4 Midget and trailer

A custom from the Batmobile?
Jon Haigwood replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have recently inherited a couple partial Futura kits. Not sure if I have enough parts to build one but have been thinking about what I might put the bubble roof and/or fins on. -
I haven't decide yet what I am going to do with it yet. I know I am going to rob it of the Custom roof and maybe some other custom parts for the 49 Custom Coupe project I have coming up.

Kit extras (patch?)
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That may be right. The only kit my brother had that was a Roth was a Rat Fink I didn't see his box but none on line had anything about a patch included -

What the world really needs is a magnet for plastic. -
Kit extras (patch?)
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I found the same patch minus the "Revell" logo on the Roth website, It is a iron-on patch but I am not sure when they started doing iron-ons. -
I was recieved this yesterday and I am trying to figure out where it first appeared. I am thinking it may have been an extra included in a Revell/Roth kit. Any information on it and what other extra were included with kits ?
