A Place For Build Ideas
Trainwreck replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Here's one for an adventurous scratch builder, the AMX3. There's a treasure-trove of info on line, look it up. -
I worked with pneumatic cylinders for years, humidity was their enemy so they were always shipped with huge packets, I've got some that are 3"x5" so I never had to worry about alternatives but that's a good tip about the camphor.

If you use metal spacers like I do and want to keep them virtually rust free throw a packet of silica sand (like you would find in a new pair of shoes) in the drawer with them. It will draw the moisture from the surrounding area, keeping it away from your metal bits. This method also works for tools, so keep um purdy now that you know.

Opinions are like coffee, except I ask for coffee. -
1967 Comet Rear Window.
Trainwreck replied to ewetwo's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I was faced with this problem in reverse, I was able to score an original AWB Comet with no glass and used the newer glass to replace it. This application worked but I've never had the glass from the Dyno Don car so I can't say for sure if it's narrower than the newer version. -
Going through my stash and finding a Monogram E-Jag coupe I forgot I had. The Egal is one step closer, Sweet!

Sounds like bad lighting and too much caffeine Bill. -

Just waiting for my son to move and I'm getting out of Dodge.

I've lived in my neighborhood for 40 odd years, it was pretty quiet when I moved in but now I've got cherries flashing once every couple weeks, progress?!?!, Not so much.

It's always the smallest bits of a project that move at warp speed after hitting the floor. -
I had the Chev., seemed a little small for 1/24th scale.

Certainly sounds like your firewall has blocked her email.

I'm no expert by any means but it sounds to me like your firewall may be blocking that account for some reason. Are you able to send and receive emails from other friends?
-
Can you send emails to their account?

Over the last 40 years I've amassed a plethora of extra parts so if I have a specific part already in my stash I'd much rather use that because it costs me nothing. So unless a caster wants to pay me to use their offerings I'll stick to the 'free' stuff I have on hand.✌️Nothing beats free stuff.

I'm out of purgatory and can now reply to comments in real time. Nice!
