  1. For HOK tech info / downloads go here.... http://www.houseofkolor.com/hok/news/HOKDownloads.jsp I've had great luck with primer grade lacquer thinner and I find somewhere between 1:1 and 2:1 works perfect.
  2. Industrial V belts were made in green by Gates Rubber back then.......
  3. OH YEAH.......I gotta agree with the Bluesman!!!A section to that puppy will set it apart. In that other magazine Tim Boyd has a sectioning article (great read) and he shows where and how to cut. Are you gonna go with a SOHC or just a FE ??
  4. Best use of Donk wheels yet.....I just don't get the green fan belt though!!!
  5. Well I'm NOT a model.....(George and I come from the world of 53)...just a classic .... thats Brains not Beauty!! and welcome to our little nut house!!
  6. When did he get them???? or Did Bill ever have them???? NO I will not post that picture of the Red and White striped seersucker jacket!!!!!
  7. So that means no rotor in the distributor!!!
  8. Sidewall letters.....real
  9. To me it looks way too big...in 1:1 the tubes are wrapped to get the heat out so the air stays cooler...I do like the look!! As far as the color goes in 1:1 white, tan , and black are available and you use a stainless wire to secure."tan " is copper.... https://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_cata...atId=&mmyId=
  10. lacquers are not meant for brushing...they dry too fast. Tommy hit it 100% that grey primer just makes the orange lifeless.....heres some orange over white.....
  11. Always in spirit........ Due to swarm season I've been pullin long workdays the last coupla weeks...I guess the $$$ are good,I don't see the check ..the boss is happy though!! so keep it coming....
  12. Well he might build the kits..... But I figgure he will probley lose the parts first.....
  13. It really was easy...I used a small brush and brushed it where I wanted chrome...as it is blue when wet..just take your time. I used 2 coats and the seperation was perfect...the pictures do not do justice...after the TS smoke dried I lifted it off with tweezers! This will get you to the camaro.... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry203182
  14. liquid mask for the rim...I used tamiya smoke TS sprayed on 3 light coats.....

  17. Yep you can rub, spray or dip....or brush on!! Dave if you want the urethane look with future , Try the simple green....WOW!! http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html
  18. looks like the wrong sprocket for a trials bike.....the speedo is real!!!
  19. ....How about a triple Bill!!!!
  20. Thanks to both Tim and Art for the excellent info provided here. The bottom line is why can't any of these companies open up dialog with all of us little guys...something like a regular posting and answers to questions on one of these forums....seems to me to be solid marketing in this computer driven day.
  21. I find it interesting that "THEY" never seem to appear in any form except the good ole "press release"....when was the last time any of us got a form to fill out our wants and needs in styrene? I am sure that these companies use market research to determine what to mold....Harry ask Gregg or that other guy....jimbo haught...when as EDITORS were they asked what we need???? just curious and venting a bit....but think a bit is it the LHS owners that are the "research"???? yes I've read Art and Tims response to this in the other thread ..why no mfgr presence in our forums..??
