  1. I actually think the bed looks fine. The bed liner actually looks like a drop-in liner instead of spray-on. exactly what I am aiming for when I get my build started. All you did was mask with Tamiya tape and spray with the black?
  2. thier website is still up and no statements about bankruptcy.
  3. I guess I can save my money for some other brands. I haven't seen anything I don't have in my stash from them in the last couple of years.
  4. I keep on hand: white glue, Super glue (gel and regular) in small tubes, Testors liquid and tube, Turbo Tak, Canopy glue, JB weld, two part epoxy (slow cure). I have some others I haven't tried yet. I've tried Plasti-Weld without much success, so it became sprue glue that I sometimes use to join parts that need a little bit of filling between mating surface.
  5. For some reason I can't find floor polish in any stores here. not even an empty shelf space at any of the big name retailers, I'll be hitting some of the smaller, local shops when I get the chance.
  6. I don't know if it is just my town, but I cannot find any floor polish in any of the grocery or chain stores All I can find is floor cleaner.
  7. I don't believe my library has classes on how to create the files. But they do help you set up the print. You supply the files.
  8. They have an Ultimaker 3 printer and use PLA.
  9. I guess I will pass on them. Chevy isn't my bag.
  10. do you still need this part? I believe I have an extra.
  11. Thanks everyone. I think one of those PC board holders might help. That and pre- painting kits that don't need foil (slingster, 22 Jr, Jawbreaker, NASCAR, etc.)
  12. Facing major shoulder surgery in a few months. Any suggestions on tools/ techniques to use so I can continue building? I am working to get anything I can sprayed, foiled, decaled, etc. on a couple of kits. How do I hold a body steady to foil it, apply decals, etc.?
  13. My local library has a 3d printer that can be used by anyone for $5. I am not sure about what printer and resin they use. Just take a memory stick with the files (your own or purchased) and they will help you set it up to print. The limit is no more than 3 hours of print time per print. I plan on trying it next week and will post an update once I do it.
  14. I've noticed when I use a bolt, washers and nuts that you have check frequently to make sure the nut is not tightening/ loosening due to the drill rotation.
  15. Like I've said, a fleet side long bed with a 300 is my dream. I'd settle for a long bed kit and add aftermarket 6cyl if necessary. The flareside interior is correct to duplicate my truck. I may break down and get one from that auction website. I'll be trying my local library to print the styled steel (3d cults file, and $5 to print them) rims next week. My local library has a 3d printer. they help you set up the print job. I'm not sure what printer or material they use. They do limit prints to no more than 3 hrs. per print job,
  16. I would love to see a long bed again. although prices on auction sites are reasonable, for now anyway.
  17. the 4-wheel trailer that pivots was in the Fireball 500 kit. I remember thinking it did not make sense to pivot the whole trailer instead of just using ramps
  18. my Future was stored in a cabinet in the cool basement. It was at least 5 years old (likely closer to 10) when I got rid of it. I'm not sure on that particular BONA product. I use their floor cleaner because it does not leave any residue/ build-up.
  19. That yellowing in the bottle led me to get rid of it while I was on a model RR binge for the last year.
  20. I found aplace that I can get a 3d print file from and car print the at my local library.
  21. Thank you. Am I correct to assume same application technique? I thought it was gone. I saw some Pledge Acrylic floor care on a popular shopping sit listed for $99 for 32oz bottle.
  22. Do any of the re-released trike kits have useful parts for kit mingling? I've never bought one, but have been seeing them at reasonable prices lately
  23. I have visited almost all of my local stores 4 wally worlds, and multiple grocery stores, both national chains and locally owned. I have not been able to find Future/ Pledge with Future/ Pledge Acrylic. Has it been discontinued? is there an alternative?

  25. I'll eventually jump in with a Ford in a Chevy. Maybe a Vette.
