  1. Rob...draw one out on a scrap of .040 sheet, cut a piece much longer than will fit (used as handle for paint), shape and drill to your needs...most brackets, 'cept custom are not chrome but painted black
  2. VERY KOOL PICS !!!!! And I see your "G" and rais you a "C" .... This one lives up the road from me...it has aEddie Meyer flattie...
  3. Glad to. This Bike called "Hot Rod" , currently owned by John Mellencamp was built by Russ Mitchell founder / owner of Exile cycles. It was built on Biker Buildoff.. If you look closely you will see disk brakes front and rear.The hydralic lines run to a hidden proportioning valve to adjust the FtoR brake bias and are both hooked up through the foot pedal. the throttle cables run through the handlebars. note the button on the Jockey shift knob ? Thats the line lock button, for starting out on a hill from a stop. Russ pioneered the "twist Clutch" also...using Harley Davidson ideas for both throttle and ignition advance http://www.exilecycl....php?section=19
  4. A great scale source is Larry G scale.... don't know about oranges, but I know he does sell grains.....Thats where I picked up a lot of scale Dio goodies. B)
  5. Chuck Most...AKA count Chuckula, wrote a how to on making tractor grills. Bet if you PM him, he will steer you to it or help you .
  6. Agreed Doc. I think it was back at the 50th, a WAR broke out between the Outlaws and Warlocks...DPD and FDLE took them out. The end result that year was signs at all campgrounds..."NO COLORS, NO GUNS, NO ATTITUDES It worked well...no problems anywhere, and I see it quite a bit. I prefer Bike Week to Biketoberfest.....Alot of the northern builders have worked since Thanksgiving to build the latest...LOTS of candy!!
  7. I never got cited....Pipes, lights, tatoos.....BUT if you act like an adult the DPD will treat you like one....Now ride your rice rocket on the sidewalks, wheelie at will....YOU WILL PAY! AND COLORS...a big guarantee if you wear your patch...you will get hassled...big time!
  8. Happy Happy Tommy......Heres a present for you!!
  9. I love the flattie in the 37....although a pontiac 421 or that Caddie would give it a bump.
  10. How about some names down here in ft myers /naples/cape coral........I know a bunch of y'all in Naples
  11. Usually right off Main st.....Near the Boothill...on the other side......look for the smoke!
  12. Ugh doc.....the camera operator doesn't seem to function well at Bike Week......I will try
  13. use your camera mounted flash..tape some tissue to soften the fill The umbrella ?????
  14. best party in the country.....I'm going to the Rats Hole Chopper Show...Rain or Snow....
  15. I also use a PVC support....I shoot using foamcore rather than the curved base sheet ,and I bounce 3 lights onto the car.....asa100 @ 1/125 @f16 thats the sunny 16 rule....As you noticed I use a silver umbrella for my bounce, and the grip seen , along with the barn doors allow me to adjust my shadows . I do like the small one for a single remote shoot
  16. I suspect the NEED for beer is greater....and if you need it you will pay for it. Most of us Americans are spoiled rotton with our cars ...why walk or bike in the heat...I have A/C in the car!
  17. Looking at both of these you can see the lip at the rear of the cowl on the model, which I do not see on the 1:1
  18. Jairus Watson Enjoy Bud.....Thanks for your inspiration !
  19. As Christian said...He could be correct...most paint keeps shrinking, so most of the issue will level out, I would wetsand the area and reclear if in a hurry. Otherwise dehydrator for 8 hours and polish. next time use some latex gloves when painting.
  20. Those videos make the track smooth.....Good news is gates open Wednesday !!!
  21. I hear you...Premium @$4.07 = 15.00 fill up....HEY I used to use CHANGE............ :rolleyes:
  22. I do agree about no Krylon, but that doesn't solve the problem. Are the prints "on" or "under" the clear? If on top...easy fix...if under, good luck.
