89AKurt

The The 1947 - 1959 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Message Board is a goldmine of information. It has saved me much grief when working on my previous '69 and current '68 pickups. I'm also 89AKurt on there. When I was looking for my first antique pickup (late 90s), looked at a '55 Cameo that was white, but because it had the cheap fiberglass bed sides and there was a big hole in it, I declined buying it. Got a rolling wreck '48 5 window instead. When I was buying parts from someone near me, saw that truck parked among their collection, they were thrilled to have found it, all original and really good shape and the price was really good too! I was sick, but I didn't know anything about these trucks then.

Domino theory in effect. Of course you need to turn the other 3 wheels! Even after you weather, I'm sure the shine difference will still be evident. Sorry, been there done that. (reminds me, haven't touched my Paris-Dakar 959, so you are making more progress than me)

Here would be an interesting subject to "weather". Touching story too. How This Long-Lost Bugatti Was Rescued from the Bottom of a Lake After Missing for 75 Years

It's been decades since I got a lifetime supply from the local newspaper. First time they gave me a sheet for free, second time I paid for it. It has to be the traditional printing press sort of print shop. I love the stuff because it bends without breaking, unlike roof flashing.

Reading the build process reminds me of kit bashing for some reason. Not Your Average 1,400-Horsepower 1966 Chevy Nova Street Machine

Great job on the rusty weathering, I have a project that I will try it on. The engine hood hinge: does the lid stay up by itself?

Food obsessed much?

Some time has passed! Red Frog did refund my money. I feel lucky.

Built the 356B decades ago, sold the Alfa GTA years ago and sort of wish I kept it but have 180 models now so why do I need another model oh wait I'm an addict never mind.

I happen to know who owns #001 Ferrari. He was living back east at the time he saw an ad in the paper, it was a basket case. Found the engine in South America. Experts argued about it's authenticity, until he brought it to a show. It's in unrestored condition, so it's not sexy enough to be all over every Ferrari blog, we see the cycle fender version. If I recall, "C" is part of the serial number. He took me for a short ride around the neighborhood. These pictures are at a Prescott Antique Auto Club in 2008, that's me behind the wheel.

Monogram Porsche 904. Don't know why, had to get one. Seen a few auction for higher than I wanted to pay on eBay, this vendor had a price that was not ridiculous. After I ordered it, they messaged me to say the rear window was missing, I said knock $10 off, they did, I'm happy. Think I can make a back window. I see a tire had melted a little into the roof (knife pointing to the spot), vendor had rebadged parts.

It's a little bit curved, and the resin does cling without sagging much. I tried it for the third cast. I could also try pressing some foil over it, before it sets, but then removing that could be a problem.

Ok, will do that next time.

Thanks. I'm testing the share feature.... just because I own a '68 (of course).
