  1. Wow, I didn't even know some of these movies existed! And I considered myself to be "in the know" when it came to truck related movies! I just watched Moonfire and part of Deadhead Miles. Weird but lots of cool truck footage from the 70's! Thanks for posting those links!!!
  2. Hey Skip, thanks!
  3. I just ordered some of the Tamiya liquid primer from a new Hobby shop in Florida called CJ Hobbies. They have the spray primer for 7.22 for the white and 7.41 for the fine (I think it's grey?) Being that it was their grand opening, they gave me 20% off my order. You can check out their site at www.cj-hobbies.com
  4. Can I file for that if I live in Texas? I would like some PFD'S please! (Po Folks Dollas)
  5. Are the ones from Eduard assembled or does the builder have to assemble them? What are the belts made of in the Eduard sets?
  6. Does anyone know of a company that will take your drawings and produce photo etch parts from them?
  7. Hey guys, I found the sets that Detail Master and Model Car Garage offer. Just what I was looking for! Thanks guys!
  8. I'll be putting the strap kit on the Chi Town Hustler kit. The restored car has the straps.
  9. I believe so but I'm wanting to detail some 70's era funny cars.
  10. I was wondering if any of the aftermarket companies make a nice photo etch with cloth straps, blower strap down kit in 1/25? What's a good source for detail stuff for blown engines?
  11. LOL, thinking about that amount of glue, I can just smell it! LOL
  12. That's the type of stuff I was hoping to find! It appears to be the same type of product as Mr. Surfacer. The Mr. Surfacer comes in different consistency's though. I didn't want to use any type of spray primer as all I would be doing is putting another layer of paint of the details I do want to be visible. With something like this, I can place a drop on the pin hole or indent and sand it smooth. Thanks Anthony!
  13. Hey Mike, I've always heard the one part stuff is bad about shrinking?
  14. Hey Bryan, I mastered those wheels and they are cast and sold by Jamie Rahmoller. For the acorn lug nuts, I had Robert Bentley of RB Motion make them to my specifications. I'm sure he still has my measurements on file. You can contact him about getting those lug nuts if your wanting some?
  15. I am working on a truck cab that I have modified and intend on having it cast into resin. Therefor the body work needs to as perfect as possible. I am using two part polyester finishing putty to fill tiny indents and pin holes. I then sand everything down to 2000 grit and then shoot some SEM self etching primer. I know I don't need the self etching type but that's what I had on hand. The problem I'm having is that even after carefully block sanding, the holes and some indents still appear through the primer? Any suggestions? Also, is that Mr. Surfacer good for filling in pin holes and such to where you don't have to mix up a batch of putty for a tiny area?
  16. Are there pics of the chassis anywhere on the web?
  17. Very sorry to hear. I'll keep her in my prayers and hope for a safe surgery and a speedy recovery!
  18. And the Crown and Dodge fire trucks from the TV series Emergency!
  19. Just wanted everyone to know, Hobbylinc, www.hobbylinc.com has them for only 17.69! I called Tower Hobbies and asked if they price match. They did and I was able to use a 10.00 gift certificate I had. Grand total for two kits including shipping, 35.37!
