The Jeep and the F250 can handle it. It’s my spine and the MX-5 that could sustain damage.?

I got back into it to keep tabs on my dexterity and eyesight. I had a brother and an uncle who had Parkinsons…so.? Anyways, I really enjoy cars and I get to have almost any one I want.?

Yup, most likely. If they don’t “look” at it by the end of October, they may as well wait until next spring or summer. Edit: And they better not send out one of those trucks that sprays sticky pebbles in the holes….what a waste of taxpayers money those trucks are.?

Lack of street maintenance in Winnipeg. I e-mailed them about numerous potholes on my street with exposed re-bar. They replied that someone would look at my request by Feb 2025.

WIP: Custom AMT 1:25 1964/65 Chevy El Camino
NOBLNG replied to JNordgren42's topic in WIP: Model Cars
It does make a nice chrome finish. Too bad the resin is so thick.I tried thinning it with lacquer thinner, IPA, and I think varsol or something. None of them set up with the UV light or dry out.? I think maybe an enamel paint and apply the powder before it has completely dried hard? -

Yeah, the more I look at the two of them…the more I like the kit piece. I agree that is why they likely did away with them. I have them in my old Willys P/U and they work as good as AC…a long as you’re moving.? Crack them just a tad in the winter and the windows won’t fog up either. I guess the No-Birdo goes back in the box.?- 141 replies

Great work so far Donald!? I have one of these kits and it definitely needs some upgrades in certain areas. I’ve bookmarked your thread so I can reference it when I get around to building mine.?

I puttied the roof on the second one and primed them both to get a better comparison. I’m still torn between the two.?- 141 replies

Four-Door Charger: What do you Think?
NOBLNG replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Personally, I think they should have thought up a new name for it.…or maybe re-use Polara or Monaco.? -

Amazon seller!? I ordered a gallon of cleaner wax for my 5th wheel. I received a completely different type of wax. I contacted the seller and they said Sorry…we’ll give you a refund and you can keep the product. Bonus!?? So I check my Visa account to see if the refund went through and find ANOTHER charge for the original amount. I messaged them again and am still awaiting a response.?

Need Evergreen P/N recommendations
NOBLNG replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have used .015x.020 strip and .010x.030 strip for the roof top seams. And .030” half round for chrome moldings. You can sand down the .030 for a flatter contour. I just use a flat clear over gloss black sprayed from a distance as a final finish. -

Yeah, I kinda want to keep it even though that is what identifies it as a T-Bird roof.? It’s just that I happen to have a couple of Viper engines.? I am just going to lower the back end of the roof a bit and see how it looks. Only one of these two are going on to be finished…so we’ll see what they look like after primer.?- 141 replies
