  1. Wow, this is an oldy….but good trick. I do pretty much what Dr. Cranky did, but I use two pieces of 1”x1”x3/16” angle iron. I use washers as spacers to allow for different track widths, or if the wheels don’t protrude beyond the floor pan. I square everything up with the lines on my cutting matt so the model doesn’t wind up doing a crab walk.
  2. Time to crack open a fresh model box because the one I’m working on has me flustered.
  3. WAY TO GO TEAM!!!
  4. Yeah, I routinely see two or more cars in the intersection and then doing a left turn after the light turns red.😡
  5. Probably easier to find a ‘70 Marquis than a Jim Croce 8-track.
  6. Yes, but they weren’t classics back then. I’ve recently been on road trips in my 2013 MX-5 and my wife’s 2014 Jeep Wrangler….both will be classics one day.😎
  7. I have not tried that paint so have no advice on it. Like Matt asked, what airbrush and compressor are you using? A picture of your setup might help someone pinpoint the issue?
  8. Seas and oceans are both saltwater.
  9. This. I clean (sand) the parts well and use a bit of flux. I think I used rosin flux. I was surprised how well it worked.
  10. Cheating is NOT allowed !!!
  11. This is what Plastruct has to offer. I don’t see triangle shapes on Evergreens site and I believe .020” is the smallest round they have.
  12. A little late, but I did find one picture of the engine with the 12 terminal cap…but I only see six plug wires. I don’t know what’s up with that?
  13. I believe Ulf has it correct. The black piece is the lower half of the two-piece valve cover. And for anyone researching this engine, here are some more pics and a link to another thread and links to the articles that the pics come from. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/194814-was-there-ever-a-kit-with-a-gmc-inline-6-and-wayne-12-port-head/ https://www.hotrod.com/features/iconic-ike-iacono-dragster-1958/ http://www.poustusa.com/CHEVY_VEGA/raoul_balcaen.htm
  14. WOW!!! Randy, your attention to detail is bordering on insane! And you have the skills of a watchmaker.😎 Two thumbs up from me for your efforts.👍👍
  15. And it should run on methane.😈
  16. Constantly Having Every Vehicle Recalled Over Lousy Engineering Techniques is what Chevrolet means.
  17. Joint repair can be improved with the use of pins.
  18. Internet IQ tests.🙄 I get links to them all the time from pinterest and decided to try one just for amusement purposes. I scored 145-156.🤓 Then I did it again entering all incorrect answers and guess what….I scored 145-156.😳 No wonder some individuals are under the impression that they are intelligent when in fact….
  19. Weekend is something that is looked forward to by most folks who aren’t retired.
  20. It turned out nice John.👍 The others look great too!
  21. Ther you go Bill.? It’s looking good.?
  22. Yeah, the guys at the club meeting got a kick out of my mockup setup too.? How’s this…better??
  23. Very nicely done transformation!?
  24. Nice resurrection!?
  25. Nice looking Charger Jim!?
