My wife asked me if I could use this, it's the container for her sewing needles. Worked out perfectly to store the 5-6most common sizes of small drills, I imagine it should work for other things. 5 separate compartments plus the back opens for a 6th. If anyone's significant other sews, you may already have them around. Figured I'd pass this on

Thanks, lyme isn't fun, and im a "tough it out" kinda guy, but antibiotics help. According to a quick search, the kit has the 389. I'm going off a few different pictures I've found online, to try and keep thing "correct". Also, I've chosen to use only cheap craft paint, so that's as close as I can mix up myself by eye. It definitely would be picked apart at Mecum or Pebble Beach.

Agree, even if Robert Duvall reminds me of my father. -
Nice, the walmart by me never has any kits.

Back at it after feeling beat up, got bit by a tick. Anyway, managed to build plug wires, and get half the engine wired. I have to remake one of the wire guides, didn't like the way it was fitting. Let me know what you all think. thanks.

More swap meet finds for me. Got these five kits, the "vette was free with the two Nascar kits. It and the thunderbird are built, the vette's ok, thunderbird not so much. Can't complain for five bucks. The two drag cars were had for 25/pair. The pin vises were the big deal, 5 bucks. starrett make really nice tools. I've included the part number in the pic if anyone is looking for a pin vise, and they do sell the separately.

Welcome to the forum Andy. I used to build r.c. as well, both nitro and electric. Fun hobby.

Definitely sounds like you had a productive day. When all is said and done, I find those kinda days mean the most. ?

Between the closeout store my wife loves, hobby lobby and harbor freight, I stocked up. The closeout store has an Amazon returns section, I found some keyless chucks, sand paper, blades, a torch tip cleaner with the drills and 3 packs of liner pens. All a dollar each.

These are both from an obscure one time release of a Peter Pan kit. The item on the right is a crudely cast beer stein, the other belongs to Captain Hook.

My situation a one off. I built a box and attached it to the window, and had to lift the window up to the box. These are old windows, single pane that drop into the wall. A similar box made to fit the opening, sealed from the weather could remedy your situation, I know the landlord issue all too well. Here's a shot of how I took care of my situation until I replace these windows.

Not sure about your area, but here code enforcement CANNOT go/look under a cover to "check" a vehicle. I actually managed to get the building/zoning guy in some trouble back when I was 18 for that exact reason. Since your guy's working with you, might not be that big of a deal. -
Loose tutorial on how I do my vinyl tops.
johnyrotten replied to the60falcon's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Very nice job, I may have to try this out. I also wonder if that paint would mimic a bed liner material? -
What is going on with my Airbrush.
johnyrotten replied to Mike 1017's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I would second this, and if you have a hollow ground driver, all the better. Brass is soft, not that this should be super tight or anything -
Nice job with the hood, looks good
-
Nice job so far.

Is the vent on your cup clear, and are the o-rings in the brush in good shape. Clean really well and look everything over. -

Sorry about the previous post, I didn't realize you decanted it. -
DupliColor sealer not drying.
johnyrotten replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've had can that sat for long stretches act that way, and new ones as well. One thing I always do with any rattle can is to warm it up in a container of hot water. Raises the pressure in the can, and thins the product a bit. Always gives me better results. -
Looks good in the daylight.

DupliColor sealer not drying.
johnyrotten replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I would say it's either really old, or defective. 12 hours in the dehydrator you would think would off gas that enough to do the trick. One question for you, did it sit for an extended period? I've had cans act similar after sitting a long time -
