Thanks! It’s in the pond now. I cast it myself and have extras, so we’ll see what happens.

Can resin be stripped in Super Clean, same as styrene can?

This paint was put into an aerosol can many years ago for me by an auto paint supplier. I sprayed this dash weeks ago, and it has been sitting in the dehydrator since. There is a raised portion of the dash that I filed down...and on that spot, the paint is still liquid. How long after casting does resin need to cure before painting? I must have painted this just after the filing that exposed fresher resin?

I have a buddy who is a self-described hooligan and a real talker. A telemarketer called him up one day and Murray kept him on the line for over half an hour before the telemarketer called him an a**hole and hung up!?

Your picture and story about Pip made me smile! Funny, that movie with them in the phone booth was on tv the other day on a channel I never watch, and I tuned in just because there was no info at all about the movie in the guide. That’s when I realized it’s not a picture of John.?

This is a very nice little kit. Be careful with the chrome on it. Mine peeled off when I removed some masking tape. Hopefully it’s not an issue on all of them.

Yes, how in the world does someone get that good without breaking every bone in their body? My Buddy was in a local motorcycle trials club. They held one event of the World Round 80 miles east of here in Rennie Mb. Back in 1992. I volunteered to help and got to watch some of it up close. Amazing what they are capable of!

This was my first car (no, that’s not me). I won it in cereal box contest. I may have driven my Dad’s ‘62 or ‘63 chevys, but can’t recall for sure. I took my drivers test in his ‘68 Biscayne, 4 door, 6 cyl, 3 in the tree.

More thrill than I am after!?

Another couple of my favourites were “Underdog” and “Rocky and Bullwinkle”.

You are just too neat and organized!? Seriously, the woody is looking mighty fine so far,?

That is some mighty fine work! I have a cheap Chinese one. I have very little experience with it, but it sure has come in handy more than once.

What irked me today? Looky Lou’s.! Not on this site so much, but another non-model forum I am on. A thread started last year has 8,124 views and only six reply’s....three of which are mine in the last couple weeks. Do 8,118 people have nothing better to do? I must admit, I do a fair bit of browsing on here without responding, mostly because I don’t have the time to respond to every thread that I’d like to. But out of 8,118 people(assuming one look per) you would think someone would have something to say.? Edit: And sometimes if I have nothing good to say, I just move on.?

To the OP and others (no offence meant)...what if they passed a law that any old car that could not be started and driven had to be crushed !! ???

Thank You David for taking the time and effort to do that for all of us.?

How about just ignoring them if they bother you? I agree it is frustrating when researching a topic or technique to find photos missing. Would deleting any posts past a certain age be limited to ones with pics missing, and what if the text is still very helpful? As long as server space isn’t a concern I wouldn’t fret about it.

Once your cutting mat gets so hacked up that you need a new one, don’t toss the old one out. Instead cut it into smaller chunks and use it as a drilling mat. It will make your new one last longer.?

One thing I try to remember to do is use an airhose set at low pressure to blow all the dust off immediately before airbrushing. It is amazing how the paint or primer makes lint or dust specs appear. You can also use a can of compressed air available at any office supply store.

I haven’t seen it done this way either. I have been drilling individual holes for each wire. Ima gonna try it on the next one. The first few engines I wired with the proper firing order. Now I just alternate every second wire goes to one bank....nobody but a picky contest judge would even check.?

Well....Good Luck with it!?

I take it the blue paint pic is from before the rebuild? I like the wood bed and the tail lights. Very nice!?

That is very nice Ken! I like it lots!?

Your panel lines look great Bob!?

I hope I didn’t kill your plans.? A 4-door TJ is still a really cool project. It just won’t look like a 2020 model.

Beautiful work on that brass! Looks like a fair bit of engineering went into it.?
