DIY with Alsa Corp Easy Chrome

Why should such an unrealistic and artificial standard be set? Purely intellectual and civil conversations don't exist in real life between friends when discussing everything from sports to politics. Attempting to restrict a discussion in the style of the circa 1790s London Debating Society gets stale really fast. Occasionally referring to someone as "a rat-faced swindler", "an imbecile lump of mere organized animal matter" or "sneaking, pimping red haired idiot" should be encouraged to keep the discourse interesting and maintain high entertainment value.

I won't lose any sleep pondering this. In the grand scheme of things, it boils down to "who cares?"

Dipping it in Future/Pledge Floor Care/whateverthehellitscallednow is better than spraying any kind of clear gloss. It will fill in any small scratches which might be left.

Trumpeter's 1/200 Titanic is also 53" long; but, it's a lot cooler. It comes with LED lighting. It'll only set you back five bills. Plus, you can get the sooper-dooper detail-up set for an additional $270.

Article on Mopar factory undercoating. It wasn't neat. According to the article, the photos show it was porous and thick.

The 413 RB Block V8 was used in both cars and trucks (the 361 in trucks only through 1978 w/2 4bbl carbs). You can use the 413 from the Lindberg '64 Mopars with a different manifold cover. The Cummins V8 was a typo. You can use a straight 6. You can check out what's available HERE.

Hugh betcha!

I had lox with cream cheese and a slab of red onion on an everything bagel for breakfast.

Reading this thread, this commercial comes to mind.

That's about the size of it. Since you figured it out, there shouldn't be any more questions on the subject.

Patrick, measure the frame rails and get some Evergreen Polystyrene Channel in the corresponding size to fabricate an extended length frame by adding existing kit parts. That way, you'd even be able to make a tandem axle flatbed/box truck/whatever. If you want to go all out, get brass channel and solder a frame. It takes a bit of practice; but, it isn't difficult. You can check Google for for ideas on different lengthened frame L700 trucks. How-to on frame stretch. You could either scratch the entire frame; or, graft the styrene channel to accomplish the stretch.

I should have recognized the view of Greenpoint and L.I.C.

Welcome to the forum, Ryan. Outstanding model. BTW, did you take the pics in Queens?

I'm not puritanical when it comes to salting up the conversation. A lot of elementary school (including parochial school students) kids' language can make a longshoreman cringe. Girls were, and still are, very good at it. It was like that when I was a kid in the '60s, it was like that in prior decades and it remains the same today.

The Dodge L700 was a medium duty truck. Dodge never produced L700s with lengthened chassis capable of mounting a Gar Wood LP-900 packer body. Any lengthened chassis you might run across was a custom order from an outside manufacturer like Freightliner. Besides, the Gar Wood LP-900 25 cu.yd. packer body, with a full 25,000 lb. load, would have completely overloaded an L700, even with a lengthened chassis. Fun fact: after Gar Wood ceased operations in early 1979, a licensing agreement was reached with Heil Company, granting them exclusive rights to manufacture and sell most of the former Gar Wood refuse body product line in North America, including the LP-700, LP-900 and LP-10 00 rear loaders. The Heil Company still produces the LP-900 body under the name Formula 5000. The LP-900 is also license produced by FAUN in Europe and the U.K. as the LP-901 (FAUN Powerpress), an improved LP-900.

You seem to be the self-appointed linguistics expert here. Lesson time: "L" as an abbreviation for "large" is generally used on clothes/garment tags to indicate size. Check your shorts if you doubt it. "lrg", "lge" or "lg" are used to describe non-apparel items. Look it up. You could have easily called Paasche to get a clarification. I did and the customer service rep confirmed that "L" indicates "LESS", not "LARGE". He also provided me with the product number for lids with gaskets. It's described as "1 OZ. COVER W/GASKET". "W" as in "WITH", not "WIDE".

You could have prevented a lot of agita by getting THESE, 10 glass jars with lids for 17 bucks free shipping. BTW, TCP Global carries more airbrushing accessories than you'll ever need.

It's a euphemism for hoarder. Ask the Collyer brothers.

Testors also made Gunmetal Metalizer. Alclad 113 Jet Exhaust is great.

"Stupid", a quirky new take on the classic "normal".
