    Hi Bill.  I don't know if you got my last message.  I need the interior parts (I've come up with some front seats, although).  So If you have the main parts of the front suspension, not the chassis plate, and the leaf springs and rear axle, that would be great.  Thanks

    Hello. I am building an incomplete kit of the 'General Lee'. The axle looks pretty 'weak'. Where can I get something better? Thanks

    Hi Khils.  Those pieces pictured are what I need.  But you can keep the steering wheel and chrome.  PM me please.

    I've worked with Milliput and it took a nice long time to set-up, maybe 25 minutes. Anybody work with Tamiya 2-part putty? How long to set up, approximately? Thanks

    How does one use embossing powder? I guess it works better than 'flocking'. Thanks

    I have heard that you can use Spaz Stix chrome mirror over any gloss paint. I have been using it over gloss black metalizer which is laquer.

    What exactly is an explosion-proof fan and where can one be obtained?

    I have tried using the backside of a new Exacto blade, but with poor results. I have seen the 'hooked-shape' blades, I think they are P.E. Opening the trunk or doors, the engraved lines are already there. Thanks

    I used a second hand furnace fan, 150cfm. It cost about $35 with shipping.

    Thanks Mr. O., Phil, and Steve. Beautiful dashboards, Mr. Obsessive! You could not have made it any easier for me. Thanks

    I know there are some for various Mopar dashboards. Maybe I could use some of those, modified. Thanks

    The box of the '62 Bel Air (Don Nicholson's) seems to show the color of the Z-11 valve covers to be Chevy engine red. Is this correct? Thanks

    I found some nice Aoshima wheels, but they don't come with tires. What to do? Any suggestions? Thanks

    Thank you Ranchero Steve for the link to Slixx Decals.

    Some of these seat belt kits have P.E. pieces that need to be bent. A friend at the club recommended 'tools' in the beading-dept. at Hobby Lobby. I looked at them and I do not know if they are ideal. What do you think? Can anybody recommend some bending-tools? Thanks

    Thanks for all the input. I think I will call Dremel.

    I am looking for a cordless. The chuck that is part of the motor, is stripped, won't hold a bit. Thanks for any input.

    I'll be watching this build. Have always loved the '68 Cobra Jet factory drag car.

    I know the Parts Box in Australia offers a pretty good one, but too expensive. I could buy a whole kit, which is do-able, but which kit? Something in 1/24 scale. Seems like there should be one 'after market' for like 10-12 bucks. Thanks

    Hi AFX and dragcarz. Thanks for the replies. AFX, the "Gold Rush" pictured, does not have a K-member. The original '65 Mopar AFX vehicles (Plymouth and Dodge) retained both the K-frame and the torsion-bars, which had to be extended. And dragcarz, I am building a (Gibson) street hemi engine, and I was thinking of using a deep sump Milodon pan. Now, I WILL use it, and paint it yellow! So thanks very much, again!

    I suspect I was wrong about the magnesium K-member. I think it must have been stainless. Maybe I saw a '65 AFX with a K-frame painted yellow. Of course Ferrari (and others) use yellow colored magnesium wheels. They were 'coated' with a substance made by Dow, and maybe the Europeans had a similar coating. But we know a lot of racers use just uncoated mag wheels. Boy, you guys put a lot of effort into answering my question, which I 'm afraid was a dumb one! Thanks

    Hi. Probably a lot of you folks know about the 12 factory Mopar AFX cars: 6 Dodge, and 6 Plymouth, built in 1965.. I know that the K-members, or K-frames, were moved forward 10". The new K-frames were made from magnesium and I've seen them painted a sort of yellow color. And here is my question: I've seen some deep oil pans on drag cars also painted a similar shade of yellow, I think. Any comments?

    When I finish a model, I like to display it in a plastic case. But the conundrum is, shall I display it with the hood closed, or propped open. Is there a substance available that remains tacky so that I can remove the cover of the case, remove the hood temporarily, and then close the hood securely so that I can turn the model/case upside down to view the chassis detail without having the hood fall off? Thanks

    Hi alexis.  I will get back to you on the appearance of the decal sheet I need for the '93 Honda Civic.  Thanks

    I appreciate the timely responses to my question. Thanks
