Nice job on the battery, looks good. I've had great success using a brush with the molotow, haven't tried foil as of yet. My current build is practice as well.

Nice little fleet.

Nice truck, I own the gmc equivalent.

At times. Lol

Bit more work done tonight, made the non-existent power steering bracket, touched up some paint and got the engine ready to finish up, not really thrilled with the carbs, so l left them off for now. Making that braket was a challenge, there's no real good images, and things aren't exactly in the right place/shape one this engine. I basically connected the dots, and made an approximation of what should be there. I also put up some pics of the opened door handles, that was a fun first time. Driver's sides a bit thin, It can stay that way, it's fragile.

Ingredients and manufacturers info. I was originally looking to tamiya but there are no hobby shops local to me that carry much in the way of modeling. I prefer to support small businesses when I can. -
Chassis scratch building frame table/jig

I like the scale cinder blocks and clutter in the background. Looks like a full size "get it done with what I got" situation. Nice work -

This is what I ended up using. Thank you for the insight, the other type of this brand I have seems to be very "hot". -

Success. I managed to get it repaired, and actually cleaned up I think the repair will work. Let me know how you all think it looks, and thanks again for the advice, and the education. -

Most of what I do with models as far scratch building goes, is just using my knowledge as a fabricator. Steel and styrene may behave similarly in some ways, not in the case I was working with. Just part of the learning curve. I have testors liquid cement, old school testors tube glue, multiple c.a. glue's, and both of the small square bottles of solvent cement sold at hobby lobby. Mr. Hobby I believe is the brand. -

This is exactly why I asked the question, recently I was working ith some .020 styrene bent tightly around a curve, as soon as the cement touched it (mr cement s) it just split on me. Tried a few different times, same result. Did not want to have the handle do the same. Thanks for your insight ? -

For some reason, this one has a sinister "Christine" type vibe to me. And I know Christine was a mopar. -

What Did You See In Your Yard Today?
johnyrotten replied to Tim W. SoCal's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Some shots of the deer on my property. There is a small herd that takes up residence every year, gotta figure out how to get them to pay some rent or something. This is three of them. -
Great job with this. ?

Welcome to the forum, nice work on the sportster. The mach III was/is a pretty rowdy motorcycle. I owned one for a short time, power band whenever IT felt like it was fun, and interesting at times. Nice projects you have underway.

Thanks, if I can't save these, this is definitely an option. -

I have this on hand, I imagine filling the whole opening, waiting for it to cure, and re-drilling sanding ect. would be the best course of action. Minus the visit from my dog, of course. -

Thanks for replying, none of my kits have separate handles of this style. -
11 years on a battery, good for you. Hopefully the replacement holds up, it has big shoes to fill.

So I was drilling out the door handles, cleaning up the opening a bit with my extaco knife, and harper(my hundred pound sweetheart of a dog) did dog things and now one handle is slit open. Would the best option be c.a. glue, a solvent type type , or something else? Just looking for some options. The handle is still intact and attached, just slit on one end. The blade is pointing to the damage.

I like it. ? it reminds me of every street car I seen during my childhood. Looks good.
