  1. So, would there be one air line from the compressor to the wet tank, then two lines from the wet tank to the other two (one to the primary tank and the other to the secondary tank)? How many lines from the primary and secondary to the brakes? Aren't they routed through valves of some nature? Thanks!
  2. Or, maybe ... model. Yeah. Model.
  3. Steve, I don't think you qualify as a 'hoarder' ~~~ but you clearly have a very serious case of DDA!! Duster Demon Addiction! Did Chrysler even build that many 1:1's?
  4. Looking good!
  5. Nice start on a good looking build!
  6. In all seriousness, I think this describes the vast majority of us. I'm sure very few of us may be 'hoarders' in the strictest sense ~~ which involves so much accumulation that all rooms and halls of one's abode are crammed with models and moving around or from room to room is seriously impeded.

    Acura Integra

    That's nice and clean looking. Good job.
  8. Whoa! Nice.
  9. Nice. Always gotta love an Abone. Especially a '30!
  10. Me, too. My acquisitions fall into three general categories: 1. I have (for years) bought the kits I missed decades ago when I had less ability to acquire them, 2. I buy virtually every new issue that even slightly interests me, because I don't want to miss them while they're available (see #1), 3. And, I buy everything I can get my hands on that fits into my preference niches. I buy 'em because I can; because I remember when I couldn't. I buy 'em because I again may not be able to sometime in the future and I don't want to run out of projects. I buy 'em because these are the golden days of the hobby. I buy 'em because I can't stand the thought of one of you guys having something I don't. I buy 'em because I have a specific project in mind for each one of them. I buy 'em because I figure I have to finish them all before I go 10-7 and that means the more I have for building, the more time I get. Right? I buy 'em because it drives my wife and my kids nuts. (Not really, but it sounded funny.) I buy 'em because it keeps me off the streets and out of bars and away from girlies of ill repute and stuff like that.
  11. Hey, Steve! I usually don't do this (jumping in on somebody's build thread), but you have such a neat build going that I just couldn't help myself. Looking at your interior pic, I see you're going to considerable effort. But, I just wanted to point out that the oval-ish shape in the center above the gauges is the speedometer. You've detailed the guages, but missed the speedo. Here's a pic of a 1:1 to show what it looks like. The speedo was a floating wheel that rotated to display the Pacer's speed in front of the driver. Just as an FYI, here's what the wheel looked like outside its clear dome: Just another very unique and interesting feature of a very unusual automobile! Hope you know I don't mean to be critical, but I just wanted to share a tip with you to make your "nifty Fifty" project even better.
  12. Nice looking Effy! Love the strange but uniquely beautiful combination of colors. Somehow they work!
  13. Incredible ... and ... amazing, Art! It is truly a beauty. Worthy of the finest miniature apparatus, for certain. May I suggest your signature line which certainly applies here: "A work of Art." Cheers, my friend, and congrats on another one out of the park! PS: I would love to see that guy resin cast and available to us unwashed masses!
  14. Good looking Chevy!
  15. Very NICE!! Looking forward to the finished product.
  16. Very, VERY nice. And, a great history.
  17. Hey, Jon. ALL the pictures any of us took in the 60's were taken with cheap cameras that didn't process light well. Nice Nova. It will be a great project ...
  18. Wait! Real. That's it; real. REALLY!
  19. Sleek! Slick! Nice job.
  20. Ahhhh, channelling the spirit of Hollywood Jim! That's an interesting ride. Seems way too perky for ole Harry, but okay, we can go with it. Nice build, V!

    Fallen Heros

    Nice stuff! Miss 'em all.
  22. Sorry to hear about the setback, Terry, but at least you caught it before it caught you! Get well, and Godspeed!
  23. Sweet, times twice more!
  24. Nice job! Very kewl.
