  1. People who think they will die if they stop talking.Went to the Paxico Blues Fest today. Heard some great bands, but soooo many people were just talking and not listening. But Josh Hoyer and the Soul Colossal were fantastic.
  2. Welcome to the club Bill. I got stung earlier this week clearing a flower garden. right behind the stem of my glasses. Hit them hard right away with srpay (I didn't notice the nest they were building on my shed).
  3. I've tried printing my own, but my printer isn't up to snuff.
  4. Keef, what brand are those saws and where did you get them?
  5. I'm trying to remember my log-in for my subscription. Can somone please contact me so I can recover it?
  6. I should have a full decal sheet. I will double check tomorrow.
  7. This the post-stunt version! No longer straight from the showroomm floor.
  8. How about threads Ford, GM, Chrylser, etc. ? Kit histories? Or maybe scratch building.
  9. That said, I have never purchased from them. But at least if they are on Amazon I would think they are legit. I have looked for kits on Amazon and seen their listings do come up.
  10. MPC had a mini bike (Rupp?) in the '77 Monaco 2 door.
  11. Rocketfin hobbies does sell kits through Amazon. Click on a listed kit and it takes you to the item on their Amazon account/ store. I have never seen them do pre-orders.
  12. yes those grocery prices. And the fact that farmers barely get by on the pittance they are paid for what they produce.
  13. I don't use Face book much. When I have tried to look at a company's products, I can never find a listing or purchase info.
  14. didn't get a chance last night. Do you have some rough measurements or a picture? I know I've got fenders from several different kits, in 1:24 and 1:25scale, including the green hornet model T kit, black widow, etc.
  15. I've just raided a newer release '32 Vicky for parts to complete a partial phaeton kit. The body and interior bucket are different, but everything else is identical.
  16. Does that missing skirt go over the quarter panel (cruiser skirt) or just in the wheel arch? I have a stash of cruiser skirts. If you have a pic, I can check if I have what you need.
  17. I will look tonight.
  18. A woodpecker going at my new gutters the last two days. The deer have left after I dug up their sweet potato leaf buffet
  19. Have you tried a cycle fender from an AMT Kit? there is a set in the '25 T kit. They were also in some other AMT kits, I beleive the '32 5 Window, and maybe the '32 Vicky. You could cut them down to size/ shape. I may have a set from the '25 T if you are interested.
  20. That is correct Bill. I wanted to point out that SDS / TDS/ MSDS for all of the materials we use are available to anyone.
  21. Anyone know if the Coke 57 Chevy is a new tool or the old tool with the custom parts?
  22. If you go to the Testors webpage, click on SDS/TDS. SDS stands for Safety Data Sheet. Enter the SKU of the product. Select show me. Scroll down and select English. As you scroll through the page that opens you will eventually get to the ingredients. The non-toxic blue tube cement list D-Limonene and Poly-styrene as the ingredients. A search for limonene confirms it is extracted form citrus peels. Orange tube cement has several solvents listed that are indeed toxic. I am sure the same basic ingredients are in the liquid glues, minus the poly-styrene. This kind of info is available for any product that may be hazardous. Just find the MFGs. website and search for the SDS. Or ask the supplier. They are supposed to have copies for their employees and customers.
  23. I believe the blue label/ non toxic is indeed citrus based. It is not as strong a solvent as the ingredients in the red label, so it does not really melt the parts together as well.
  24. I placed paper towel soaked in milk over it for 5 minutes and it worked. Milk fat binds to the capsaicin.
  25. If it is a generic charger, the wires carrying current from may not match up to the terminal configuration on the phone (power goiing to the wrong connections). I thought years ago they agreed to standardize chargers and cables, but it seems they never took action.
