  1. Watched the Hammer on BJ last night sold for $175k.......no turbos on the 528 hemi....check out Steve Stropes Pure Vision.... "One of the guys at Hot Rod magazine told him, “I know the baddest mopar in SoCal, it’s a car called Hammer that Pure Vision built.†The Hammer has a rear wheel-hubs highly modified to fit extremely large tires. The chassis is modified, very modern suspension under it in the front. It has a very large, all-aluminum, 528 cubic-inch digital fuel-injected HEMI in it. It’s a hand-made interior — I handmade the dash. Friends of mine at Redline Gauge Works custom-made the gauges, which we designed together. That car has a lot of hand-made parts and pieces, but it still looks immediately recognizable as a 1970 Roadrunner GTX Satellite."
  2. some do some dont....side windows usually do not fit or look that well...I cannot think of any PUs with side glass now that you mention it!
  3. measure the width at the base...... Then the height........ then plug in http://www.handymath.com/cgi-bin/arc18.cgi?submit=Entry
  4. Try the Mahi Mahi......not the veal......
  5. Your bending too quickly, alum will harden an fracture. If you are not getting any crushing or flattening at the bend, no need to fill the inside with sand, solder or plastic. You can GENTLY HEAT the tubing...but I've never had to with alum. Another tip is do not try to bend at the end of your tube...go more to the middle and then go slow, let it relax and try not to bend the whole angle in one shot....let the metal have a "break" so it doesn't
  6. Totally kool and original!! A great idea for a lindburg kit Well call me odd....But COEs are the rage in custom truckin now. I was inspired to do a 50 Ford COE....I love the hood you made...more pix? The idea of reversing the motor is excellent...only different would be a quick change up there for me......but as the body would hide it...no big deal!!! heres a shot of what got me going....and where I'm at
  7. Got mine there....hate to go into the store....I always find some more "good stuff" and MOMs not happy with the credit card bill......
  8. federal employees on strike.....FIRE THEM ALL...GREEDY SCUM...overpaid, and underworked
  9. http://www.jeepersminiatures.com/browse.cfm/half-inch-magic-bric-tape/4,36139.html was a bear googling... but looks kool and should be a product that will work with any age look.
  10. A forum friend from Belfast makes dented panels by using a pie plate, bent to the shape of the fender or other part, like this hood, then he puts real dents in it.. After the metal part is formed, the plastic original is cut away, then dented however you want,painted with a self etching primer then installed with CA My friend will not participate on this forum due to a few members...But I have posted his creative genus for all to learn from!!.Thanks Nige!!
  11. Yep Santiago, our own MR 1/16th!! Many more Brother!!
  12. I have used it many times...It does spray thick....decant or heat the can. I would suggest duplacolor primer under. The flake size does appear smaller after clearing. Inca Gold, Lime Ice , and Diamond dust are always used by me!! roof..inca gold
  13. DITTO....great advice!! I bought Donns DVD and all I shoot is lacquers....his technique works well and will transfer to other paints
  14. I don't care what they put out...after all the fun I had on the Aerosedan...I do not care what they make...I will get one even if the subjet has no interest to me. The quality, fit anddesign make it a pleasure to build
  15. If it is a crack at the joint a dab of JB weld will work...but you will need to remove the plating...I would send it to Badger...was it dropped?
  16. Nick...start by cleaning and removing all crud from them, then dip it slowly, hold by a corner and wick off the excess. You may still need to sand and polish if you have deep scratches
  17. And thats why I google....Harry can fool us with images that are poor.....I will find the image....you can see the difference in these two pictures..same source. The poor quality is a trick to make you think model. This one was quite easy....too many Dzus fasteners on this car........
  18. HE HE HE.................ENJOY!! :(
  19. I found both yours(low res) and this one of the real car..... http://www.rsportscars.com/formula-1/2008-scuderia-ferrari-f2008-formula-1-car/pictures/6846
