Molotow is an ink. Do you have any MM Metalizer around?

Just enough to lightly coat the wheels. When you see a slight shine, stop.

This is becoming ponderous. Buy a paint booth or build your own. You guys build models, so, constructing a simple paint booth will be a piece of cake. Even an idiot like me can do this. It's nothing more than a box with exhaust fans. It'll cost you around 40 bucks in materials, including two 4.7" 110v axial fans. Mount the fans on a board, fit the board to an adjustable window screen, place the constructed box on a small table and slide it against the window sill behind the fans and paint. I live in an apartment and manage to do this. No fumes from enamels, lacquers or acrylics; additionally, it's never to cold or humid to paint.

Frame dimensions of 1967 Impala, 1969 Grand Prix and 1970-72 Monte Carlo: 1967 Impala 1969 Grand Prix 1970-72 Monte Carlo The '67 Impala looks like the closest match.

The '66-'69 Rivieras are X-frames, which wouldn't be accurate. The AMT '67 Impala (119" wheelbase) uses a box frame similar to the Grand Prix. Changing the front upper and lower control arms would be required, at the very least.

1966-69 Rivieras had a 119" (119mm in 1/25) wheelbase. That extra 1mm is negligible if you want to use the chassis. I'd suggest the AMT '66 Riviera chassis since it has separate suspension and exhaust parts.

Going through an email from MotionRC, I saw this: Kyosho Fazer Mk2 FZ02L 1967 Pontiac GTO Champagne Metallic 1/10 Scale 4WD Car - RTR

Brass and copper oval tubing is available from K & S and other suppliers. . No crimping or crushing required. Just cut the required length.

If you have the MPC and AMT/ERTL kits, why would you want to get the Airfix version? Aside from the cost, they're the same kit. I'm just asking, Ray.

Nah, just kidding about Cold Slugs. Bush Tetras was a real band, though.

The Cold Slugs opened for the Bush Tetras at CBGB's back in 1980.

Note to Dave: You're getting caught up in analysis paralysis. You'll never accomplish anything by overthinking. The K.I.S.S. principle rules. An Italian proverb to consider: "Le meglio è l'inimico del bene" The best is the enemy of good.

Wassamatta U? You might consider it picking nits; however, everyone has a rivet-counting obsession with the minutiae at some level of the hobby. You're never too old to learn correct terminology.

So did I.

I'm sure saying "engine part thing" for "carburetor" is acceptable because technically, it is.

One might test paints and solvents on runners, not sprues. Jargon Police ending transmission. Six-two and even, over and out.

That doesn't say much about current automotive designing.

Being consistent counts for something.

When did people's C1-C7 vertebrae start auto-fusing to prevent one from swiveling his head to the rear and use Mk. ! eyeballs when backing into/out of parking spots? I see drivers in late model cars (no backup cameras) staring into their rear view mirrors attempting to park and end up damaging the front of the car directly behind theirs.

1955-57 150 convertibles were never factory produced.

Roger, copy. That's a possibility.

Are you familiar with the expression "pissing in the wind" is, Patrick? Read what Steve wrote. Do you actually believe any suggestions posted here or, as Steve pointed out, in any other of his other threads, were? To be considered helpful, any suggestion(s) would be acknowledged with at least a minimal expression of gratitude as being a possible solution to a particular problem. Nothing in any of his other threads even remotely indicates that he heeds anyone's advice about anything. Also, if I was inclined to run my post count up, I'd have tens of thousands more tacked on to my total by making inessential and gratuitous monosyllabic comments (practiced by not a few members, either intentionally or otherwise) which are neither informative, entertaining nor intentionally irreverent.

Are you guys: 1. offering useful suggestions because you think they really matter? or 2. Just trying to run up your post counts knowing full well you're essentially talking to yourselves because nobody at the other end of the line actually gives a rat's patootie?
