After 2 days of cooler and wetter weather than forecast, well on the way to forecast high temps. probably similar to what most of the country is getting. Just one day with humidity under 50% would let me get a final color coat on a kit.

that VW diecast has gasser/ street freak written all over it. Or perhaps flowers and peace signs?

For help with holding parts steady, you can look at circuit board holder. I bought one for building while recovering from shoulder surgery. It has four alligator clips on flexible arms, two of them screwed to the base and two have magnets so you can adjust the to hold anything in any position.

This irk is a blessing in disguise with forecast temps around 100 or higher, the county has decided to seal and chip the road in front of my house, probably Monday. That means bench time!

scammers. I got one in the mail. From a company with a name very similar to the old owner of my mortgage. with my late wife' name on it. call them now to claim my money.

Yesterday 80 and .5" rain. tomorrow and for the foreseeable future around 100, with heat indices of around 105 or higher. I guess it will be perfect weather for foiling and assembly of all the kits I sprayed last fall.

Sad to see all of that beautiful steel in such condition, but at least it has not been crushed and turned into toasters.

One thing to remember is at one time radios, heaters, etc. were optional equipment. And wipers were vacuum operated.

Unless that is pink primer, I would say the color from the plastic has bled through the primer. I would say you need a better primer, primer sealer, or try using silver paint as a sealer. Then color coat. But others here might have better advice.

According to this website, there was a block off plate behind the butterflies. the scoop was just for looks. 1965 NOVA SS - InNOVAtion | dobbertinperformance

perhaps they somehow built in a one-way check-valve? That is not the car I was referring to. the one I remember was a light blue metallic one.

no luck in my parts stash. If anyone comes up with a kit source I can check against my stash spreadsheet. Any Chevy/ Chevy engined kits will have engines swapped out for something else. I'm not a Chevy engine guy.

As said before, the bottom line is application and design. What do you want from the drivetrain package? I know engines have been built with both a supercharger and turbocharger (maybe even multiples). check back issues of Hot Rod magazine. For some reason I remember a nova with twin super chargers and twin turbos in an '80s issue.

Radar looks like rain headed our way. None forecast. Yesterday it was forecast and we didn't get any. But it is 82F and 58% humidity.
