    AH, Laguna Seca Weather!

    Dennis, you didn't mention a gloss coat under the chrome paint or polishing the parts. if not it looks great even so.
  3. Big John
    Not to mention the CAD development time. "But it's not Brass!" You do amazing works of art however the process. Very much enjoyed the ride, thanks for sharing!

    looking for a spray on polished brass like chrome, I'll check out the Alclad. The gloss assures a smooth finish.

    Scrounge anything for 30A 220 cable and romex to old telephone, dead computer and craft wiring. I've got a whole shelf dedicated to the stock.

    These days you have to buy them when you see them.

    Off on a tangent, for us early last century boys, does anyone know of an equivalent for polished Brass?

    Being a Calif hot rod boy I'd never heard of the Fiat 508 Aerodynamica however I do like the styling over the classic Topolino which came out the year later in 36. Coming along nicely!

    The offset probably helped it turn Left better, many of the 60's Indy cars had some sort of offset. Yeah that was a cool video, love the crazy custom V8 and valve train layout. For a moment I thought it was a Ford with reversed heads and two injectors per cylinder but No. Ranks up there with the Mallard.

    I heard the military bought a bunch for target practice. Dam near bullet proof even if you blow the battery.

    Lower is definitely better, perhaps some indy car mirrors from the 90s. Actually I like the 1976 Ferrari F1 mirrors.
  12. Big John
    Now doesn't that look better already?

    I believed this is one of my "lost inventory" kits and am looking forward to the build. There is just something wrong with the rear view mirror mounts that bothers me styling wise. I would be tempted to remove them and follow the scribe window lines. If the clear window parts allow.

    I would venture to guess that it is for Accessing the magneto since it appears to be hidden behind a firewall. (true this is a highly detailed model but I expect is accurate)

    Mistake not the # for a "hashtag" or "pound" but instead as a number.

    I somewhat withdraw my suggestion, however it is possible to place two strips together back to back and fuse them with a ht iron.

    Edge banding wood veneers usually have a hot melt backing so they can be ironed on to the side of shelves etc. Wood working section, probably hardware.
  18. Big John
    Ah, for the days when cigars were wrapped in thin veneers

    A record is a record I guess. Strange 2 cyl, supercharged even. V8 quartered.

    It is always 4:20 somewhere in the world! And if you don't use the 24 hr clock you get it TWICE a day! But we digress...

    You can always tell when you get to 16/05/25. Unless they ad a couple of months then we'll all be up a creek.

    Took a different side street home and saw this classic old WW2 Jeep!

    Flinstones meets Steam Punk!

    Are you going to do the snow mobile too? Maybe drop a V12 in it or at least a Porsche 912?
  25. Big John
    I was wondering how or if it would spray. Very impressive.
