  1. Anybody come up with a slick way to make cheater slicks (yes I did a search). My AMT Racemaster slick tires are not exactly flat and I have to sand them down anyway so I would like to make a set of cheater slicks out of a pair or two Thanks
  2. This reminds me I need to do the Salmon on Cedar coated with butter and brown sugar. Settled for Chicken breast and legs marinated in BBQ sauce on the grill
  3. Nice, I like the style of a Old School Custom
  4. Is it Show car Month or Old School Rod Month ?
  5. Maybe something you would drive while listening to the Stray Cats ?
  6. So if I am reading this right there will be pre-decorated kits (painted) and non-decorated kits " ? If so this may bring in more young builders to the hobby.
  7. Maybe some inspiration for something a little different
  8. Getting a better view the emblem in the grill center appears to be a 58
  9. Years back I read where stores like KMart found models that had been opened they would toss them in the dumpster and fill a refund as explained above. I asked them if I could buy them and was told no. It was suggested that Y find out when they tossed them out and do some dumpster diving but not knowing the legalities of doing this and not likening the idea of being in a garbage can I refrained from such activity.
  10. They can have my Spray Paint when hey can pry it from my cold red hand
  11. They did not have dual headlights until 1958. The inner one is a turn signal on the 57. The one in the OP could be a 58 but the inner one looks smaller but it may just be me.
  12. Christine was a 58, that is a 57 IMHO But then I could be wrong and if I am Greg will certainly point it out Your results may vary
  13. trying to get my scanner working. as soon as I do I will post it
  14. I use a piece of metal tubing when trying to paint the center of a cap or any small round spot. I dip the tip of the tubing into the paint. I don't use much paint on it as it has a tendency to spread out. I set the part on a piece of tape to hold it in place and since my hands get a bit shaky I use both to bring the tubing straight down on the part. Practice on spare parts (Your results may very)
  15. Having owned a 1:1 I say it looks right and great. Nice Job
  16. Only the Editing staff, advertising and ad production were listed . The cover and bottom part of the first 8 pages are missing . There may be some credit information on the bottom of page 5 but I don't have it,
  17. I was paging thru some of my old car mags and ran across a cool 36 Ford drawn for the "off the sketch pad" in a June 1961 Rod Custom. I was a bit surprised that the artists name was never mentioned. Any body have any info on the artists off the past that made sketches for the Car mags ?
  18. I know this isn't one of the brands you asked for but it is a hobby-type gold. Autoair Metallic Gold over Autoair Chrome Yellow with Duplicolor Clear
  19. I picked up some beading wire at Michaels.
