Resin Rivet question (Archer or Micro Scale)
TECHMAN replied to Sledsel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
ANDY, There is a thread in the next section (ON THE WORKBENCH) where they are talking about TRAILER RIVETS that may answer what questions you have …… Hope that helps.... DJ -

List of kit semi-truck engines (how to find)
TECHMAN replied to TECHMAN's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Been sick the past several days, so just now getting back to the forum...… What a pleasant surprise!!!!! A special T-H-A-N-K-S- to the different ones that helped make this become an easily found tool (like Brian, Jeff, Kerry, Mike, & the moderator that pinned it). And it goes without saying, a VERY SPECIAL T-H-A-N-K----Y-O-U needs to go out to Hakan (FORCE) for all the initial efforts (and follow up efforts) that even made this possible. And, not to forget SAM for remembering to have the engine colors listed added too. VERY VALUABLE TOOL!!! DJ -
AC Mack Tractor Trailer
TECHMAN replied to BIGTRUCK's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Great job on the "oldie" Mack!!! DJ -
Was not suggesting that this be "dumped off on you", only that the information and "format" you used to help put, into a usable order, the engine information might be used to help categorize some of the other items available thru different aftermarket suppliers..... Such as: AITM sells Cab kits, sleepers, frames, suspension parts, engines, misc. engine parts, transmissions, rims, and tires. Then others that may be familiar with, lets say, P&P Resins might add "whatever" he sells, and so forth...… Only trying to suggest something that might help some of us that are not as familiar (or knowledgeable ) as many of you that have been in the hobby more continuously.

B.R.B.O. White Western Star

Maybe you'll get a little warm weather pretty soon...… Like the progress!!! DJ -
AL, You won't be disappointed in DAVE'S products (AITM}. Have ordered several of his cab-kits, and various transmissions, engines, and small parts. If everyone was as good to deal with as he is, and their products as high quality as his, you wouldn't even need a "complaint department"!!!! Look forward to seeing which B-model you choose!!!! DJ

One of the things that I had "ear-marked" years ago, was the list of engines in the kits that FORCE had put together, and, knowing that the supply of aftermarket stuff is LIMITED (to say the least)…… What about a list of "who makes what" in the aftermarket? I know that would be a MAJOR undertaking, but, would be MAJOR helpful to ALL the builders on this forum.... DJ
