  1. I Am thoroughly Impressed. The work you have done, is all top grade in My Eyes. If I could offer some advice on the frame. You could Strengthen them better, and not have it show. If You melted some brass 3/32 rod into the frame with a hot Iron to Imbed it into the frame, then used some slow setting epoxy to cover over it. You would get a stronger reinforced joint. Just a thought I had when seeing those breaks.
  2. The T-bird comes with the Car Hop figure.
  3. Kevin how long is the life expectancy on a bottle with 600 PSI set at about 15 PSI ? I would think Nitrogen would be a better way to go, If you have a good regulator. Although regulator diaphrams can go bad just sitting from non use. However storing the regulator indoors, when not using, and just using it when painting might help.
  4. You could center drill the spark plug, then strip the insulation back some, insert the wire securely, then add a little putty, or sculpt the porcelain. Almost to the top leaving a small bit of expsoed wire.
  5. How much pressure does a standard CO2 tank carry?
  6. I used the AMT 67 Mustang chassis, on a resin cast AMT 65 Falcon. It worked well with some minor modification.
  7. I usually don't use stock wheels, or caps, but it would be good if they did fix them.
  8. I worked for a company called Safety Kleen, in my youth. We had a brand of allied products,one was a hand cleaner in a large metal can.Each can contained 1 full bottle of Corhuskers lotion mixed in. They had a patent on that for quite awhile. It was a fantastic product, and worked excellent.
  9. Thanks Brian for the advice.I will look into that.
  10. The Camera adds ten Pound's
  11. The plastic headband on the headsets, seems to irritate after awhile,and become a PIA/forehead.
  12. Recent trades with AFX,& Kataranga. Have been very Good. Gabriel
  13. A live Daisy Duke, beats a dead Elly Mae in my book.
  14. Grind out the original grille with a moto tool and replace with the PE.
  15. It all looks good Bill. I would agree that it may be a little low in the rear, but not by much.
  16. For being a New car, the tire wear pattern shown in the picture of the passenger side. Indicates that it was going to be in a wreck at some point in its near future.
  17. Beautiful, love that stance its just perfect.
  18. It wont be a 2013 model.
  19. The issue with My situation was that I provided them with Proof Via Pictures,even an offer to send them thier parts. Niether were interested in a resolve. I wouldn't know about thier fraud issues, because that was not my intent. The Example they should have set was to not give me a run around, instead of just not dealing with it. This caused a triple effect where I will not be recommending their product to all my friends and word travels fast, it's a big company but they have lost my business. It's not my fault that they have an issue with fraud, they need to put actions in place to deal with THEIR issue. it is NOT true that the mfg. have gotten less generous, because i know that they made extra parts for those police cars. Revell and Round 2 both charge for their parts when requesting replacements, so paying somebody to that part of the job is just a part of doing GOOD business.
  20. I like it a lot,congratulations. Do they make a pistol grip for the automatic shift handle?
  21. My only issue with getting a replacement part has been from Revell. When I purchased two Revell/ Model King 57 Fairlane Police cars only, only to discover the the police car parts were damaged, after contacting Revell, then Model King, then Revell again. I finally gave up, as Niether of these People/Companies wanted to resolve the issue. In the last Conversation with Revell. Ed Sexton asked me to contact Model King again, as they were completly responsible for the Police car Parts, and Model King had been Furnished with replacement parts. In my previous Conversation with Dave at Model King, Dave was quite sure that he didn't have any parts or was responsible in any way for broken, damaged, or misplaced parts. By the way the Isuue with the parts was,the rotating beacon base had torn away from the sprue, the police antenna was broken in half, the chrome on those parts was incomplete and the decal sheet was damaged. I sent pictures, and explained my opinion, indicating that the packaging was the cause of most of the damage. That did not seem to interest Either party. In the past Dealing with Revell Solely, or even Round 2, getting a replacement part has not been an Issue.
  22. I guess its fair to say,I like my rotary tool. I have had it for a million years. The new dremel tools have a quick change rotary lock device to there sanding, and grinding disks that I am not too fond of.
  23. Nice color
  24. Congratulations you passed your first semester.
