    #208 arrived in central Indiana today. The PO treated my copy rather roughly; it looks like it got caught in the machinery somewhere along the line. Fortunately all the pages are there and readable. Lots of good stuff inside. JIM

    Tim has seen pix of my '36 Pontiac before, but most of you probably haven't. Pontiac OHC 6 under the hood. I've owned it for 50 years; the Dupont lacquer on it is 45 years old.

    Hoosier Model Car Association 41st Annual Model Car Contest and Swap Meet Johnson County Fairground, Franklin IN (about one-half south of Indy) Some COVID related restrictions are being relaxed, but the current plan on file with the local health department calls for all attendees to wear a mask while in the building.

    You might contact customer service again. I had the same problem. They closed my account and then re-opened it with the same login and it's worked fine since. They extended my subscription to compensate for the aggravation. JIM

    The Chevy 153 CID 4 also enjoyed some success in midget racers, though not as much as the later Iron Duke.

    Originally scheduled for May, the show was postponed until September due to COVID. Wearing of masks is required inside the building: vendor tables will be arranged to provide wider aisles.

    try rolling your strip around something small and round like a hobby knife handle to curl it, I find it works better to attach with super glue, start at one end and when it 's solid do another section.

    I have a resin Ventura kit from Time Machine Resin. It's pretty nice. I don't think he has a website anymore. He's an eBay seller -t.m.resin. I don't see any current listings, but it looks like he had a bunch that closed last week. JIM

    I think most of the suspension bolts on those cars would be in the 3/8" to 1/2" inch range, in scale that would be about .015" to .020". Hex size for bolt heads or nuts would scale out to .023" to .026". If you're looking for real bolts I think sixe 0000 is the closest you'll find. If you're wanting only to simulate bolt heads and nuts, hex and round stock are available from Plastruct. I think someone offers photoetched bolt heads, but can't recall who. HTH JIM.

    Harry, you might want to check out www.archertransfers.com for louvers. They are resin printed on a decal sheet and come in a variety of sizes. They are not open, but with some black paint or marker they are close. JIM

    I think a Ranchero from Revell is a certainty since I purchased a JF resin kit. It seems that every time I've bought a resin body to use with a current kit the model company adds that body style to their lineup. JIM
