  1. Like John said…that will eat into their profits. Best thing I have found is to join a forum for owners of your particular car and ask for advice or info there. They are likely a helpful bunch just like the folks on this forum.
  2. You can still use the Duplicolor paints likely. You just need a good primer/sealer underneath. Maybe save them for a future project?
  3. Too much of a good thing may leave you wanting even more.
  4. That is looking really great Jim!😎 I may just have to pick up one of these kits yet.🤔
  5. Wow, I didn’t even know that salads came in display cases.🙂
  6. Though I tried to respond properly, it turns out that I was on the wrong page.
  7. You could glue down some good outdoor carpet? Probably the cheapest option. The drawback is possible staining from spills, and if your roof doesn’t have much overhang it would get wet when it rains.
  8. Those “power strips” are not surge protectors apparently. Most folks likely see the on/off button and assume (as I did) that they provide protection, but they are just basically outlet expanders. You can buy ones that do have surge protection but of course they cost a lot more too.
  9. Time to fast forward through that one, as I’m more of a rock’nroll fan.
  10. I bought a can of that at my LHS on their recommendation. I sprayed it straight from the can onto a ‘68 Dart and didn’t like the result. I think it went on too heavy and looked like it was dipped in honey. Unfortunately I didn’t take any pics. If I attempt to use it again I will decant some and try airbrushing it.😕
  11. Music helps me concentrate while building and keeps my head free of gremlins.
  12. Engine is looking good Bob. And nice job on the FUP work.😎
  13. Terrific idea! I have done something similar for shocks, but never thought to do it for a tapered boot.
  14. I’d be more than happy with that result Jim. Lookin’ fine!😎
  15. Wishing you all the best Carl. I’ve always appreciated your comments and support. Do what you can at your own pace. Best of luck to you.
  16. That is a beautiful car and a beautiful colour! More of a burgundy though i think. Maybe Tamiya TS-11 Maroon with a pearl clear or clear red top coat?
  17. Ooh, that paint does look fabulous Scott!😎 What is that item to the right of the exhaust pipe….some kind of heating apparatus?
  18. I was a Chevy guy up until 2017. My 2006 2500 put an end to that. Glad I switched to Ford.
  19. See if you can find a Mazda forum that has a truck section. You could likely get some experienced advice there. Here’s a couple. https://www.mazdaworld.org/forums/b-series-truck.109/ https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-bt-50-pickup-trucks-18/b2600-47009/
  20. Unusual modification methods are my specialty.
  21. Looks great Pat! Love your photo backdrop too.😎
