Absolutely, one of the first things I did getting back into the hobby was start the junkyard. That miscellaneous piece or part could be just what you need.

That's different

Looks great, hopefully you come across the shifter. I think your father would be happy with the revival, or maybe you're in some trouble for going near his models. Lol.

All I know is it sounded good, and I seen the class he runs on the window. There's a few older guys with pretty fast old street cars in that area, I see them often in the summer

Sounds like you share the same traffic engineers as upstate NY. Here's a screen shot of 5 within 3/4 or so of a mile.

Saw this while on lunch.

My collection is a mixed bag of both. Mind you I have only sought out 2-3 with an actual "build" in mind. A couple were picked up just to try some resin casting for various pieces, until I learned what I was looking for is available with 3d print. My current project is box stock with the exception of wheels/tires, kinda a day two build. Just built as clean and nice as i can get it. I'm less than a year back in the hobby, it's been a fun learning curve.

I had a similar experience, tuning my motorcycle. First off the kid didn't understand the difference between a non-resistor plug and standard one. Then he was confused as to why I needed a dozen for a twin motorcycle, I briefly explained what a "plug chop" was and was on my way. I guess one year at votech makes you an expert in things mechanical now. And to think I've spent a life so far working and learning. Who would have known.

I may be wrong, but the wax paper might have caused your issue. Painting, at least to me, almost seems to have a mind of its own at times. One time you lay down a "perfect" coat, the next Murphy shows up and well, you know. At time it's almost alchemy. I've decided to mess with craft paints on my current project, that was a learning curve.

This is awesome. I'll be paying attention. I like the whole concept, and that's a clean looking corvette

Sounds to me like the primer never bonded to the surface. Sanding too fine MAY cause that, as well as contamination from oils, hands ect. MCW is nice stuff, so I'm with you thinking it's a prep issue. Looking forward to what you find out. Good luck.

So Murphy popped up in my garage this morning, winterizing the motorcycles for the winter. Got back from a ride and what do I hear, a faint knock. At least I have a spare engine, good compression but I've never heard it actually run, so guess I'll have some fun this winter.

Fantastic paint work, and the work on the dash really looks great.

Today I noticed the identical hobby knife and blades in two different sections, two different prices. Just a heads up for everyone

Been there, done that. Home inspector missed live knob and tube. Gets expensive fast.

They should be greeted with this

I just want to add that this right here is great customer service . Thank you for your reply.

I've got the same set. This post made me check mine as I haven't used them yet, sure enough only 2-3 sizes are marked.

I studied the pics on his website, but it's a mixed bag, no knowing what you're actually going to get. I'll post some pictures when I receive my order, if you or anyone is interested. Might be good for trades, who knows.

That's exactly what I was thinking, being there's no guarantee of what you're going to get. I highly doubt you'd wind up with a complete engine or the like. Thanks for the reply

Has anyone purchased this? I see it's a mixed bag of random, looking for opinions if It could be worthwhile for small oddball parts for a few builds I have.

Thanks, I hope the clear coat turns out well.

Best move you could have made, especially with your brakes. Most important system on any vehicle, besides an alert, competent operator. Rust never sleeps. Hopefully the mechanic looks over ALL the lines under that truck.

Thank you. By the time it was thinned enough to spray I was basically spraying the metallic,the pigments seem to be very translucent.
