Well, It's working on my phone again!

Thanks guys, next chance I get, I'll try and get one of those at Sam's Club and try them!

I'm having similar issues with the Google Browser on my 4 year old cell phone, it keeps telling that their engineers are jumping on to figure out what's going on and fix the problem I haven't tried the Yahoo browser yet, I may have to do that sometime soon, see if the problem exists there too............

The more I think of it, the more it seems like it would be a good idea to put some kind of paper around the inside of my "Spray Booth" (the old voting booth one ) and wondered if and what you guys do for that. Thanks for any info you can give.

I forgot about that Dodge/Meatwad commercial

Probably based around the joke of how some "economical" cars were so weak that there were rodents on wheels powering them

I think that may have started as a hard top '55 Chevy JB Edit, found some more info on the car, not only was it a '55, but it was a nearly brand new convertible when Barris' shop did the work on it! http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/the-aztec-goes-west/071107twilightcruis-4.html'>http://http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/the-aztec-goes-west/071107twilightcruis-4.html And here's some albums of the car from when it was new all the way through it's restoration! http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barris-1/the_aztec_55_chevy/50s_aztec_photos/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barris-1/the_aztec_55_chevy/how_the_aztec_was_built/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barris-1/the_aztec_55_chevy/aztec_magazine_covers/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/mazza_restored_1955/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/the-aztec-goes-west/

Or a Motorcycle

I do like this one http://www.sportruck.com/events/sema-show-2010/trucks-and-off-road/189.htm Otherwise most of those trucks seemed absolutely hideous Geez, I must be getting old or just sick of seeing rims that are taller than the tires on my Jeep Kinda digging this Challenger too! http://www.sportruck.com/events/sema-show-2010/wheels-and-tires/46.htm Like this one too, too bad they didn't find a way to chrome the A-Pilars though! http://www.sportruck.com/events/sema-show-2010/outdoor-photos-set-2/136.htm http://www.sportruck.com/events/sema-show-2010/outdoor-photos-set-2/135.htm Wow, this one came out nice! http://www.sportruck.com/events/sema-show-2010/hot-rods-and-performance/359.htm

There were a couple of your engine pics that I thought were reference photo's, not the one in the actual model

Looks like a nice sleeper with the turbo on it too

It looks like the Parts Pack frame to me, I'm still wondering what it would take to stuff that Allison into it

I love it! I normally can't stand Centerline's on just about anything, but that Big and Holy Smokes wheel combo seems to look just right on that car to me

That'll probably be easier than the car's name

I think that's why cars like the PT Cruisers, HHR, the new Fiesta, and the above look better to me, they're completely different than most other stuff on the road today.

I don't know Harry, I actually prefer the new Avenger. It's more pleasing to my eye, and I tend to prefer the 80's and 90's styling to the wannabe truck garbage that's out now. I do seem to remember that Daimler felt that the trucks were Chrysler's strong suit and wanted it's passenger cars to capitalize on that as well.....then a few years later we get something that looked like a cross between "THE CAR", a M-Body New Yorker, and a modern Rolls Royce/Bentley

It's cool that Stacey David is involved with this!

Those would make for great resto projects!

Crushed glass will have a different effect than sand because at least it will be reflective (being able to throw light off the chunks of glass sticking through the finish) and enough clear and a good polish and wax job should alleviate the rough finish too.

If you crush glass fine enough, it should work well and give a nice flake like effect if done right, especially if you're using some kind of clear and/or metallic or candy paint as the carrying medium

I'll be honest, I've cut up Coke Bottles and used empty McDonald's cups filled with hot tap water in a pinch to heat cans.......then again, I've also found cleaned up Gatorade caps work well when you need to apply small decals too

I'd imagine it was done by the wealthier racers as a form of showmanship and braggadocio (IE, look at what I can afford!) The best reasons I can think of for discontinuing use of that type of finish is costs (since the Blendtec blender wasn't around, that wouldn't have been cheap to make!), weight (it is glass after all), and possible dangers if the paint had a sandpaper like finish and somebody got rubbed the wrong way.

Charlie's got a good idea here, but follow what he says closely, I seem to remember somebody writing into another model mag over a decade ago saying that they put cans of primer and Italian Red Lacquer on the stove in boiling water .....with explosive results that damaged the ceiling, stove, and very quickly painted the entire kitchen red with no effort what so ever:o

Anybody remember the article in SAE about Plastids?

Yea, location can make a big difference when it comes to painting during the winter! What primer do you use for the Pactra paints on styrene just out of curiosity?
