  1. Why didn't I think of that? Sheesh!
  2. Cut the piece that stuck up and laid it down, then gave it some piping to provide a more finished look.
  3. Modified the weird manifold and mated it to the stock runners to give something similar to your photo. Now do the float chambers go to the back or front?
  4. For the pitch? What else do I need to ask?
  5. Absolutely. It started out in Valcourt Québec, making snowmobiles, then muskeg tractors and various swamp buggies then moved into rail cars and then into planes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_Inc.
  6. That is where I got my photos, from that same lady whose name and address are shown. I'm looking for a 1:1 to get some measurements.
  7. How did you peel the paper off the drywall?
  8. Looks like they were trying to copy the Fenton type intake but didn't see the headers so they made it fit the original somehow. I already have a '37 216 in the collection so I thought i'd do the "hotrod" version but that intake somehow looked suspicious. thanks for the info.
  9. Looking at how to match or terminate the body's character lines. The spares are made. It looks like the only thing required to turn a Duesenberg interior into a Packard interior is a Packard dashboard. Since there will not be a division window I'll have to close that gap somehow.
  10. Thank you Bill. What do you figure the carbs might be? Mony possibilities I suppose.
  11. Is the custom engine in this kit based on a real engine or is it the designer's imagination's product? If it is real what are the components, dual carbs and that fancy intake manifold?
  12. Glad you like them David.
  13. Chevrolet's first big block, the 348, here with Tri-Power option. OHV V8, 348 cu.in./ 280 hp.
  14. The chassis is waiting patiently in the gloom while we discuss paint schemes.
  15. It is early yet but I'm looking at paint schemes.
  16. Glad you like it. Sometimes I wonder what I got into here. But it is taking shape.
  17. Mr.Karayel, you are an artist. ?
  18. They sure come in handy. One day i was at my daughter's and there were some Legos lying around. So I asked my grandson how much he wanted for them He said $2.,. So I gave him $5. They ave paid for themselves many times over.
  19. Wheel alignment on the Lego machine.
  20. Thank you Casey.
  21. All I seem to find are 1:35. Any 1:24 or 1:25?
  22. Leslie, my guess it was part of a tractor and has been set up as an external power plant, likely PTO by belt.
  23. Made some blanks for the fender wells.
  24. Yup, the one on the right. Don't worry, Tom, I'm a frame straightener too.
