Lowering Revell mk2 gti W/O neg camber help
Draggon replied to VR6 BeelzeDub's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
That's going to be impossible without doing what you say you're no good at. You could leave the suspension as it is, and glue the wheels/tires to the inside of the body and simply not show anyone the underside. That's not really a joke, Ive seen it done many times. Other than that, I think the easiest way would be to cut off the pins that the wheels mount to, and glue them on top of the subframe. You could add plastic stock between the pins and the subframe to dial in the ride height. -

Honda Accord, Muscle Car?
Draggon replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Muscle cars have 8 cylinders, 4 speeds, and rear wheel drive. -
I opened Google photos, clicked on "upload" in the upper right corner, selected a photo off my computer and uploaded it. Then I opened the photo, right clicked and selected "copy image address" and inserted it into the picture icon here. It took less time to do all of this than to upload one single picture to photobucket. The pic is pretty large, though, I had to lower the zoom to get it proportioned correctly.

Sources for 1/24 stretch-walls?
Draggon replied to Matt T.'s topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This fellow on ebay refers to them as "stance" tires. He has them in different sizes, but they all include wheels. Don't worry about him being from Ukraine, I have a few of his items and the quality and service was great. http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=oleks-dmitr&hash=item3ae1e62c4d%3Ag%3A5eQAAOSww3tY4NnV&item=252898061389&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xstance.TRS0&_nkw=stance&_sacat=0 -
Commission for selling on E-bay for friend?
Draggon replied to gbdolfans's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Somewhere between 2% and 5% would be fair I think. It would depend upon how much effort was required on your part. -
Darryl just sent me directions! Soapy water on the tire to get them into position then dab the excess water then let air dry! http://vinylnationdecals.storenvy.com/contact

What Happened To The AMT 32 Ford Kits?
Draggon replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
You just need to do a little digging, There are so many different releases, but pretty much after the 80's they are all the same except for the decals. The latest versions have been released through Dirt Track Racecars. First link is reasonably priced, the second is pricey but appears to have the original decal sheet replicated. https://www.ebay.com/p/?iid=252841175920&lpid=82&&&ul_noapp=true&chn=ps http://www.ebay.ca/itm/AMT-DIRTRACK-RACING-1932-32-FORD-V-8-COUPE-3-IN-1-MODEL-KIT-OPENED-/311835072509?hash=item489ad197fd:g:xAsAAOSwuxFY2ub9 And Dirt Track Racecars has the same kit a little cheaper, 3rd item down the page. http://www.dirttrackracecars.com/OrderModels.htm -
Very cool, I dig these old Revell parts pack frames. You've done it up well.

That's nice, I like the black. You could also call it an XJR-8 stealth version, to go along with Gran Turismo's line of special cars.

Newbie glue/bonding broken windshield support ?
Draggon replied to 428street's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You can also consider backing the break with a very thin sheet of brass. You can get it as thin as a sheet of paper and it will hold the joint. If you make it as long as the windshield support, the kit's windshield post wont need to have any strength itself. -
I think the body is great, I'd like to have one myself even if it isn't perfect
-
I like what your'e doing with the interior!
-
This is from Star Models. I think I read that they closed, or are going to close.
-
After looking at the AMT 32's for decades, I still think that correct bodies look wrong. I like your work on the chassis David!

I've been using Aleen's Tacky Glue for a long time. I've found it useful for a gluing whole bunch of little fiddly things as well as glass.

Really nice, looks so good lowered like that. Those wheels area great touch

Injector manifold for SOHC Ford
Draggon replied to twopaws's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The 1969 Ford Galaxie has it, and shouldn't be all that hard to find. I'm sure there are others. -
Low air pressure in one of the front tires is a nice touch.

HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE....
Draggon replied to AC Norton's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Happy easter everyone. Overcast and drizzling in California today. Quiet, cozy, and very serene. Lovely day -
There's a firewall piece in the Allison Thunderland kit that looks almost exactly like that. Not that you want to buy a whole kit, but maybe someone has it lying around for trade.
-
I agree with Bill, no issue with your zee. I prefer how you did it, in front of the engine. Most zee's I see are right at the firewall, so the framerails leave a large empty space at the bottom of the cowl that requires either huge hairpins, or large headers to fill it up.

otaki dodge challenger swat value
Draggon replied to oter11's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've never seen that one before. $18 is way too cheap. I found one on ebay.ie for $150 US, and one sold on Buyee ( yahoo japan auction ) for $95 in February. But if you really really need $18, I'll give you $25 for it
