Future 57 Chevy Gasser Build
Greg Myers replied to TransAmMike's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You'll need some solder. Rosin core bends easier than solid but you have the possibility of the rosin leaking out. There are three sizes. .062", .093", and .125". Your call on size. Here's what i've found. .063" good for street headers on 1/25th scalw. .093" good for race cars, Gassers, etc. .125" all out,funny cars etc. And a parting caviat, I found the .093 hardest to find, most hardware stores ( Lowes, Homedepot, ACE) don't carry it. You can find it on line Amazon. Aluminum tubing for collectors. Plastistruct strips for the Header flange, easier than cutting from flat stock' Good Luck. -

Being friends with someone that does resin casting, or learn how yourself seem to be the first options after pulling one from another kit. -

Sprayguns over airbrushes
Greg Myers replied to aurfalien's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I am not familiar with the term "spray gun" are you referring to aerosol spray cans, i.e. "rattle cans" ? -

A Question of Scale
Greg Myers replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Looks like an Olds -
When they redid the Ala Kart there was some controversy over the size of the new engine, many saying it was too small. This was sorted out some what by looking at the variations of the early Hemi. When the Slingster kit came out, noted on the box as 1/25th scale this looked very small to me, if not tiny. I'm sure in part to my love of the original Slizzer kit from which it was derived. The later kit being of questionable scale, something to do with early Monogram offerings or maybe the "Box Scale" syndrome. My question is, has anyone measured out the newer Slingster kit?

So it goes without saying, if it will fit on one of these stands you're in business.Well, the back row, anyway.?

Just for your consideration, The original AMT trophy kits had a sort of "Crate" engines thing going if you consider the fact that all of these kits had motor mounts that would except any of the different engines from kit to kit. '23 Tee kits, Lincoln FE '32 Roadster, SBC (rather crude) '32 Coupe, HEMI (too wide to fit the '40 Fords) '34 Pick Up, Chrome Ford FE '36 Ford, Pontiac V-8 "39-'40 Sedan, Olds V-8 '40 Ford Coupe / Sedan delivery, Buick Nail Head All of these engines/Motors will interchange Kit to Kit
