  1. on my "watch" list. tick tock tick tock tick tock Q: is Rick-rolling still a thing? i never figured how to do that . . . .
  2. watch a YT video of someone trying to get off the boat ramp with a set-up like this
  3. the distributors are available from any number of sources [link below]. the "... larger spark plug wires." are not desirable. anything larger than .020" are out of scale. remember: wire gauge size is the wire; not the diameter of the wire with insulation. measure your intended product with either a drill gauge plate or a dial caliper [digital if you must!] Amazon.com: 1/24-1/25 Black Prewired Distributor w/Aluminum Plug Boot Material : Arts, Crafts & Sewing (acceptable) Pre-Wired Distributors - The Model Car Garage (top dog) and everything in between
  4. nice to see a project with believable patina. you must have been military modeler in a previous life.
  5. & tail lights. those bad boys got some stopping power, for sure
  6. i'm not sure if what i call them are what you do, so as silly if it sounds, a picture might help your cause. i am certain my interpretation is sold by at least two resin 3D guys, but am reluctant to invest the time looking through all of my links if i don't have something to compare. in any event, to get the size you want, could a 3D be incrementally enlarge,d or are they only adjusted in BIG steps?
  7. Mr Smith, mechanical drawing teacher, ran ours in 8th grade. i still fold my sandpaper the way he taught.
  8. not sure of your turning radius, mind your Ackermann - but overall it came out quite nice.
  9. very much like the "All You Can Eat" buffet. just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
  10. i like the added bonus that some trees which were originally gaudy [= chromed] are now, not.
  11. but back to the original question is there? $36 buck for a kit which has no interest but the (2) cans isn't a great deal to me.
  12. i found it interesting that a lot of the old Revell & AMT parts packs are so sought that 50 or 60 years later they are still being produced.
  13. have not heard that name for eons. neither the name Crosley. i think R & R was one of the first cottage industries i was ever aware in the cars hobby. model railroading seems to have had them forever wayback. nice background for the photos. VW had a model around '53 or '54 with similar venting. known far & wide as the 'VW crotch cooler.' Crosley CC does have a ring to it. ps: don't let @Dennis Lacy see these photos. he'll have that registered in some gasser class just like his '40 Ford sedan. here;s a link to my favorite Crosley: Crosley Garage
  14. y'know .... if those two itsy bitsy things were trimmed from the front fenders, they would probably a. improve aerodynamics b. fill in the firewall win/ win. and the running boards "off" would probably shave like .3 off e.t. guess that's win/ win & win either way, it looking really nice
  15. i've seen tinted glass in a number of Trophy Kits. Q: was this a competition modification or part of the show car era? thx, s.e.
  16. indeed. you could have bought a "double-kit" for that kind of moolah
  17. so you did not use the '31 woody or did. i'm a bit confused.
  18. so is this part available from a resin, 3D, or kit?
  19. correct. also Louis Prima's wife until he sought the younger Gia Maione. five wives? momma mia!
  20. he sent an email that his internet is down i always wondered how that worked
