What steering wheel is this
johnyrotten replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've seen the same here in upstate ny. Old farms and properties usually have a dump spot somewhere, if it couldn't be repaired or used somewhere else, off to the pile. I've found the remains of old stained windows and door hardware on my property, along with old bottles and what not. It's almost amateur archeology. -

Image search came up 56 mercury. I snooped a little farther, it definitely looks more "ford' late fifties into sixties. Cool wall art. -
Very nice work, and a great save! Looks awesome as a convertible

De-laminating windshield ideas needed
johnyrotten replied to johnyrotten's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Laminating two pieces and a quick swipe of solvent seems to give great results, very random and natural looking. And not overly clouded. Might be on to something. -

That was my thought. The solvent works, my particular glue flashes off almost before it fogs the acetate. But at this scale, how opaque does it need to be. Now to make it look "natural" and not a sloppy assembly. Thanks -

My 2025 Cannonball Entry 1975 Volkwagen Golf
johnyrotten replied to oldcarfan's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Very cool build. I like the heat insulation idea, different materials breaks up look and adds another level to any build. You definitely got the look down. The front end looks awesome. I'm a vw guy, this is right up my alley. -

I found an iridescent pearl at Michael's on clearance, golden acrylics. I've been playing around with it, and some matte white washes. Looks promising. Solvent glue does as well, the "hotter" stuff I have needs some coaxing, takes a few coats get it working. Any comments/suggestions appreciated -
This looks down right evil. That's one bad ride man. Awesome๐๐

Either way not a good time.

The funny thing about the adress is it is directly behind my property, 300 or so yards though the woods, but a half mile by road. Almost like the carrier figures we'll do their job for them.

My mailman likes to hit my mailbox, and delivers our mail one street over, same number different street name. Not to mention "do not fold" envelopes folded in half. Incompetent to say the least.

What Scared the Heck Outta You Today
johnyrotten replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
That's a bit of a wait, Mike. Hopefully more good news for your brother and you. All the conversation about medical lately has got me thinking seriously as I'm getting to the age where "THOSE" kinda test start happening. I've only had one serious health scare ever in my life, after that I put serious work and thought into my health and well-being.
