i agree the instructions leave much to be desired. flathead engine seems to have a pin at the bottom of the waterpump/ generator belt casting. there should be a corresponding hole in the crossmember to accept it. transmission should tie in with the torque tube. looks like some imagination & centrifugal force may come into play to make the driveline rigid. here's what i'm basing my guess on; scroll down on the left for green 'download' box instructions: 1929 Ford Woody/Pickup, AMT/ERTL 6518 (1987)

Q: is it just semantics, or is there a real difference of the types of paint between a guide coat and a primer coat? are they different or one in the same by different words?

sound like an inventory of my "go-bag" no seasonal adjustment required for me.

after holding the Revell body to the AMT '29 fenders [i had planned to separate the fenders to bring them closer] i came to the realization my memory was living an unreal expectation for the two companies' parts to be sympatico. maybe the AMT Double Dragster body would work. i binned the Revell body. i don't know if i would ever buy a DD again, but have the fenders set aside for another project: AMT '29 fenders & body plus Tamiya '37 Toyoda chassis & possible running gear connected to a RMCM Ardun head blown '53 Ford flathead. it's number 27 on my to-do list. wish me luck!

completely off topic anecdote: when i worked in the carpenter's union 1978 or so, there was a guy whose neighbor died. the widow gave this guy her deceased husband's boots. maybe the spirits were at play. not only did the guy wear them, but one day when we were framing the second floor, this guy walks right out of one of the door openings and drops about ten feet to the ground. fortunately, or un, as you see fit, the fall ,nor sudden, stop seemed to faze him. he just got up, shook it off, and went about his business. i never wanted to work around him after that, and gave him wide berth if i saw him coming.

EDIT - for the insect pins post this modeler puts an excruciating amount of detail in his creations:

since this is the first response i could find in my profile list, we'll put this right here. one of the fellows in the Ford Barn Forum suggested the best place to find information on "before NASCAR" jalopy racing would be from local history sources of the area which the tracks were located. he was spot-on correct, too. so after way too many videos, i thought this one might be a good bridge: oddly enough, i think the 1/2 & 1/2 number was on a car in the movie Red Dirt Rising .

because he wants his product and hasn't gotten it yet. he could also sit back and ask others to try to get it for him either way is fine with me. but filing a compliant with the cc fraud division and the attorneys general office of consumer affairs works wonders. i got no dog in this fight. do whatever . . . .or nothing.

the other foil might be a fan shroud, and no one would be able to see a 90 view of the engine/ radiator matchup. or could you shave down the crank pulley a few thousands to give light through? remember: only You can provide fan clearance! too many years back we were sidewall shingling a house. the goal is always to run a course straight through at the tops of the windows. doors didn't count because their head jamb height was always different. anyway, we prided ourselves for always trying to go one step further and in this case we had a good shot at hitting the tops of the gable end louvers with a course across, too. so the numbers [say] were 3 courses @ 5 1/2", and then 4 courses @ 5 3/4" and the last course would run straight across the top trip. kabahm! except i did the first gable [east] as instructed, and then we had lunch. after, i went to the west gable, and flipped the dimensions to 4 and 3. well; the last course still went across, but the shingles bumped into the bottom of the louver with a different margin of louver showing. poopy. so hat in hand i had to tell the boss before we went home for the day. anticipating a really quiet ride in the van for a half hour or so, he said "did both ends have a course straight across the tops of the louvers?" "yup" "well, you can't see both gable ends at the same time. let's stop and pick up a sixer for the ride" whew; huh?

oddly enough, one of my favorite YT modelers uses bug mounting pins for all things wired. there will be an "edit" later when i can dig out his channel name; stay tuned! until then: Amazon.com: WILLBOND Stainless Steel Insect Pins Kit Specimen Entomology Pins Butterfly Collections Variety Pack for School Entomology Display Butterfly Collectors(500 Pieces,5 Sizes) : Industrial & Scientific as odd as it may sound, you can actually feel the precision with which they are made when working. if i were a butterfly, it would be an honor to be skewered by a #5 round head. really!

minutia is why i get up in the morning

that's one of the videos i watched. to me it needs some innards to be convincing, but i like the frame work.

i'll betcha a 3D print guru could come up with something x the sheet which could be scored & snapped to size.

search gave a great cap & lots of hose possibilities [and some secrets who doesn't install lowers], but . . . what's a good way to construct a see-through, somewhat convincing, radiator core? i've tried YT, but most options appear to be just layers of screen with no vertical tubes, which seems less than ideal. thx

an area out front well worth the effort. Q: is there a year when this style cap would become common?

and who eats the sins of the sin-eater . . .

those blower belts look a bit out of scale. and i think they're supposed to wrap around the pulleys. other than that, the car is coming along nicely. _ _ _ _ _ btw: for a slight of hand with the wheel wells - sometimes to give a small room depth, interior designers will use a bit darker shade of paint on its far wall. i know it's a bodge, but could painting the inside of the wheel well a bit off from the body make the "too tall" space less glaring?

it all starts with a good breakfast. groat cakes with some 30 weight does it for me.

the minimum amount of different colors tie everything together

there was a time when i would buy comic books after all, he was the King of the Road Knights Clint Curtis (Character) - Comic Vine

you read instructions? i thought they were simply suggested sequences.
