I've never had a set of sprue cutters, I've always used side cutters (what I've always called dikes) and then did my final clean up with the X-Acto knife. Is there any advantage to switching to a sprue cutter over the side cutters? I would think I would still have to finish with the X-Acto anyway...

Another example would be they call the Caravan the first mini van but I personally would say a VW Micro bus is a mini van

Nice I'll have to check the local one here...

Pretty good movie, you won't be disappointed

I enjoy the restorations better too, for me I think it’s all the years of schooling and years working I had in the 1:1 auto restoration field. I always enjoy that work and the satisfaction of what I accomplished and doing the kits brings that back for me...

It's all good, the info is just what I want. Having seen that I understand what you mean but the kit I'm doing the headers are more traditional and apparently not accurate. I don't have that much in parts to be able to correct it..

You are right, I don't know why I thought it said 454 on it...

ok thanks, I'll do a search for some pics to try to route them better, thanks

I have an older version of that I'm going to rehab and I'm pretty sure it says 454 on the valve covers...

lol no your good info is what I wanted thanks all for the tips, cudos and critiques

I can understand that, I built I believe 10 kits last year mostly box stock so I do expect that number to drop some as I get more detailed, although it does seem like I'm spending more and more time at the bench...

Ok I got you know thanks for the tip... That does make it easier for sure, I'm hoping to find a reasonable way to do these without the added expense. Not that they are that expensive but it all adds up and I have to watch my dollars and sense lol...

Oh ok sounds easy enough, those aren't glued in yet so I will have to try that. Thanks. I'm not off by much in size then, I think I have an old cat5 cable I'll have to see if it fits mine, thanks Thanks, do you mean you use it to make the wires fit tighter?

I think you may be right the caliber at .026 which is a touch to big I think but the smallest I had. I need some smaller bits also but neither are in the budget right now. The blue was intentional, I like the idea of the leg and I think that will come for me but this was my first step. I haven't learned how to do the boots yet and I'm a big fan of making the stuff rather than buying it but that is on my list to work on. Yeah don't ask about firing order its not even close I just mixed them up so they didn't all come from the same side. Oh and the engine is the 426 max wedge from the Color Me Gone 64 Dodge

Yes, cut up a aluminum can

So what do you all think of my first attempt at spark plug wire holders

I have several of them also, they come in handy quite a bit.. I’ve ended up collecting white, red, blue, green, black and gold. I use the white, black and gold the most.

I have never heard of that but I must say that is one awesome tip I will try that. Thanks for sharing...

Thank you, I just looked it’s a 1,2 and 4mm I have. The 4 is way to big for most things, the 2 is definitely the most versatile

Yes all free hand, I practiced on some old kits to get used to the tip and the way it flows.

I have a 1mm 2mm and 3mm and almost always use the 2mm. I will use the 1mm in corners the 2 is to big for and the 3mm for bumpers and such. This GTX is a rehab of a kit I originally built 20+ years ago, all the chrome on it is from a molotow pen even the bumpers... The wetter you apply it the better it looks and do it last it’s not handling friendly

Get info guys, did you drill that distributor or cast it?

You would have to add Suzanne Summers 56 T-Bird, it may be a back ground car but it's brought to the front several times. Other than that I would say you have the major cars, and the police car with the rear axle ripped out would definitely be a cool addition.

Oh both great ideas.... I'm going to try both of those when I attack this...

That makes sense I bet it would stink trying to drill it after, good tip I'll have to see what I can do, I have some heavy duty scissors but they might be a little big for this. Anyone have any pics of there looms? completed or while making?
