Automotive (and other) toys from our childhood
Xingu replied to Harry P.'s topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Buying and selling are not allowed on this site. Only trades are allowed. -
Really sorry to hear this. Stay strong Vince.

Dave found a security risk when researching what to do about limiting posts. The original problem was a (former) member making hateful posts about other members. He would edit early posts and then go back and delete the hateful messages before moderators had a chance to see them. We have had at least two members get mad and threaten to delete all of their content. Backing up and restoring is neither a simple or quick process for this site. Dave has been working on ways to make it easier though.

Nothing funny about it, that is how it is supposed to work. You can also add comments to your recent threads. Imagine how mad folks would be if someone went back and deleted all of their, very useful, content because they got mad and wanted to disrupt the forum. Folks would be complaining that we didn't have a reasonable time limit on editing posts. Admittedly, it does change how some members post to their WIP threads and to the Trading Post, but most have gotten used to the changes.

Olds W-30 Intake Tubing
Xingu replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Stop dragging things out. You guys really need to say your piece (if you just can't let things go) and move on. Bringing it back up in follow up posts is not the way to go. -
My new rig. Regular bed on ¾ or 1-Ton truck was too tall. Could not tow the trailer anywhere near level.

Sometimes, you need to make sure you put a space at the end of the link.

AAR Cuda Paint Sequence Question
Xingu replied to Xingu's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the replies and info. I now have a plan of attack. -
You never know. I have bought many things for way more than I should have and ended up making money when I sold them.

Just hold onto it for a while and resell it.

Another left handed bad guy here. Old fire protection systems designer. I bat left handed, but shoot right handed. The 404 error is a generic error code that the programmers used in this software, could be used for any number of things. I also agree that it could have been handled better, but why give the real bad guys more information than they need.

The AAR Cuda has flat black on the rear panel, top of the fenders and top of doors. Should I paint the flat black and then mask it off before I clear the rest of the body or should I just clear the body and paint the flat black over it, after it cures? Pretty sure spraying clear on the flat black will turn in glossy. I know matte clear over gloss will turn it flat. This is the first model that I have built with gloss and flat on the same surface, so just not sure how to address it.

Issue #206, Contest Issue, MAILED!!!
Xingu replied to Gregg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I believe Megahobby had the last issue for sale. You should be able to get this issue through them. They usually add it to their what's new email when they have it. -

Me too. -
How much weight can a set of Cragar S/S mags hold?

These are serious questiones, where's Issue #206
Xingu replied to Rider's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Questions about the magazine should be addressed to Gregg. Those of us who volunteer at the Forum are as in the dark as everyone else. We are not employees of the magazine. Gregg is the only one that can provide updates. There are several threads where Gregg says to email him if you have questions. His email can be found in the Contact portion of the main websites home page. Do not send him a PM and complain he hasn't answered you. The threads all get locked because, no matter how cleverly folks ask their innocent questions, they all end up in the same place. The magazine supporters vs. the magazine haters. It has been proven over and over again, so we lock them down as soon as we see them (and will continue to do so). It is also known that while some folks may truly be looking for answers, others are simply trying to stir up controversy knowing that we cannot give updates. Again, email Gregg. Leave the Forum out of it. -
The mother load...........
Xingu replied to Zen's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Best bet is to assign a value to each type of car (model kit, built model, large diecast, small diecast) and multiply by quantity of each. Then figure you need a big truck to haul it out of there. I am slowing selling off parts of my collection, so my wife doesn't need to take out an add like this when I die. -
My wife and I have watched every televised Nationals game for the last 3 years. Will be a lot of late nights for me watching how the series plays out. Took game 1 last night, so of to a better than expected start. I hope they keep it going. One thing I learned this year is not to watch the first two innings when Scherzer pitches. He has started off shaky in almost every game. My blood pressure is too high as it is, so i just pick up the game in the 3rd inning. Mystics also won the WNBA championship this year. The DC United had a good run for a few years. The Wizards should be good next season, barring injuries. I don't think the Redskins will ever be good again.

Those comments are not appropriate for a model site. Stay on topic please.

AMT Rebox of the Italeri 378 Long Hauler
Xingu replied to Casey429's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Play nice. -
A few new Round 2 kit coming out ......
Xingu replied to Mr mopar's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
You guys jumped way off track early on this one. Please try to keep comments related to what the thread was started for in the first place. You can always start other threads to discuss your wishes and what-ifs. -
Glad she found something she loves to do. That box is a whole lot nicer (and bigger) than mine. I am forced to take my company truck to a shop that can't figure out what is wrong with a vehicle unless their scanner gives them a code.

1/25 AMT 1977 Ford Delivery Van w/Coke Machine
Xingu replied to Casey's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Lets try to keep this thread centered on '77 Ford van. The only thing the trailer has in common with the van Coca-Cola. -
Golden Sahara Restored
Xingu replied to Richard Bartrop's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I don't care if you like it or not. The fact that you guys keep arguing about liking it or hating it is what derails this and other threads. It is possible to say you like or don't like something ONE time. You do not have to continue to express your views after every other post or pile on when another member expresses a similar opinion as yours. This goes out to everyone.
