Once the parts are painted, you are pretty much limited to CA, epoxy or PVA for glue. Any solvent glues will destroy the paint finish. Stuff like engine block, heads, oil pan, water pump all get assembled and painted as a unit. Same with some suspension components.

I’ll have to look in the garage Dennis. Right now I am cutting the small leftover piece up to make some hinges. I can easily get some more if I don’t have any. BTW, Lee Valley stocks the orange thin slot one, but they aren’t cheap.🥴

Fantastic work Steve! I’m sure Roger would be impressed as am I.😎

Rudge wheels are a feature that I added to my Mercedes Gullwing.

Great work Ismael.👍 That engine is a thing of beauty…it’s almost a shame to put a hood over it.😎

Delete.Sorry, not aerosol.

Check out this build in the Nascar section. I think the air cleaner is not used with the supercharger option. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/198510-64-mercury-marauder-amt/

Round about now I’m going to have to go out and fire up the snowblower.

Releases of new model kits don’t come frequently enough.

Got about 5cm of snow last night.

Here’s one I’ve just finished using the fisher 12port head from the AMT ‘51 Chevy kit. I scratch built the exhaust header and did a little detailing.

It sure is!😎 But….what a difference a day makes.

Laundry list of things I gotta do seems to get longer and longer.😕

The one on the right I got from Amazon. The chuck is huge on it and makes it difficult to see what you’re doing with really tiny drill bits. I’d get the one from MicroMark or similar.

NYUCK, NYUCK,NYUCK is a silly sounding laugh.

Boring holes through 1/32” square brass stock I find challenging.

Nice!👍 I’ve built a Revell CJ-7.

Nice alternative to having the box so small that everything has to be arranged in perfect order to get it all back in without crushing something.

Is this the type of spring you want? I haven’t built one, but I would guess that you would need to make a form out of wood maybe, and then do like Chris said above. Alternately, you could cut the entire thing out of a suitable stack of evergreen sheet and scribe the leafs into it. Either way, a scrollsaw or bandsaw would come in handy.

Nice start on this one Ken! The interior looks great.👍 I have one of these that I picked up at a flea market that was missing the engine. This makes me want to get on it.🙂

Got the Mazda out today for a short drive. It made it up to 11C this afternoon.😎 Snow forecast for this evening though.😕

Garbage! I went for a short walk to Canadian Tire today and the amount of trash laying around everywhere is appalling! The sources are countless, but I think a good solution might be to give out trash bags to all these beggars walking up and down almost every major boulevard and give them a food voucher or cash for every full bag they turn in.🙂

I like the stance. That’s the best looking car that AMC came out with in my opinion.😎

Dates come from palm trees and have been cultivated for at least four thousand years apparently.

I’m pretty sure there is no rear drivetrain either? It’s likely pulling from the front diff only.😳
