rattle can man

7-way nail buffers are nice for large areas they range from course to polishing grits on one foam block.

Just another part that will be expensive to repair when it fails?

My rose bushes and ornamental grasses " bit" me multiple times yesterday while trimming them. I guess I should know enough to wear gloves.

That's why I asked. I know about the Kona, but wasn't sure if the Kuna is a one I hadn't heard of.

From a big box hardware place, the description says it will cut PVC and other molding materials. Since it is a chopping type of tool, not a saw, I presume it would crush tubing but work for solid stock.

just a bump to move this back to the front, with the upcoming anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. Never forget the brave people who help to protect us.

My build will retain the cammer. It takes a Ford to get a Chevy to move!

Kuno or Kona? A cursory search didn't turn up anything for a Kuna. I did find one shot of a Kia mini truck, but that's it.

bottom left looks a bit like a steering wheel.

Have you tried Hobby Link Japan (HLJ)? Tuners were never my thing, but HLJ definitely has the Japanese market cars covered. I've ordered from them twice with no issues.

they are. I have one for MRR and one that has both 1:25 and 1:24 scales. check with your LHS or look under tools for on-line hobby shops. Another option is a calculator and digital calipers.

I belonged to a Ford Festiva enthusiast group for quite a few years. I learned a lot about my car from them. There was always someone who could point you in the right direction for whatever you needed. from brochures and owner's manuals to parts interchange to reference photos, even hot rodding them, it was all there for the asking.

You might try finding enthusiast groups for each make/ model of car online.

I'm looking for those custom VW parts from the Revell 1:25 beetle kit! I bought a kit from an online auction just to build that version, but the custom parts are MIA, except for the grille. If anyone has them, perhaps we can trade?

Another reference idea is searching for videos on engine removal for whatever year/ engine combo you are building. they are a great source for detailing info. From the two time-lapse videos I just watched it definitely appears that the block, heads, oil pan, and valve covers are black. And my '93 F=150 300 six is black too.

I have to correct my post. The 4Lwas an improved derivative of the U.S. 2.9L version of the cologne.

I would try poking around the RangerStation.com website or another Ford Ranger enthusiast page. According to their website, the Cologne was not offered after 1992. 1995 should be a Vulcan 3L. My educated guess is black block, heads and valve covers and aluminum for the intake. The pictures of a Cologne 2.9L look to be Ford engine Gray.

Model RR box car red/ brown would be close too.

Any of the old kits with opening doors, trunks, etc. or flip fronts are my source of trepidation. Getting them aligned and working is very frustrating. One of these days I may try making my own hinges.

I remember a Ray Stevens a song about a squirrel. Lilacs are blooming in my backyard.

I wish they would announce when our store (former Big Lots) will open.

But what does one use now that Pledge with Future is no longer available? I would think products from other MFG might have different formulas, different levels of gloss, etc.

Cost of living always remains the same: everything you make. Thought i was going to get ahead his month and either the water pump gasket or the lower coolant hose failed on my truck. At least it's old enough that it should not cost too much. No computers involved and easy access.

going to be a nice stretch except for Sunday. mid 60s to mid 70s. Sunday near 90. but unfortunately for the garden no significant rain chances. and we are already an 1' behind for the year. But the nice weather means smoke from annual prairie being burned off.

If the rest of the kit is half decent. this is one I'm not familiar with.
