  1. I thought someone would get a kick out of that...... good stuff, good stuff.
  2. Alright Jones, at Hobby Lobby, do they have an aisle thats basicly a wooden display case filled with all different kinds of stamps?? If so, there are some small shelves below that that has the embossing powder. I think the setup for just about every Hobby Lobby is the exact same. Hope this helps.... Let me know if you find it.
  3. I hope its just a problem and not shut down. I have never been on that site, but I saw all kinds of links on Yahoo with all kinds of NEAT stuff!! I really wanna check this site out. Thanks Lyle.
  4. Wow Bill!!!! You really do know how to do everything!!! So wrap around glass is not easy?? I dont like the glass in my Challenger and was wondering how to replace it. I could make all the glass seperate. Is that the way you do it Bill? Do you guys heat anything up when making glass or is that just when using the vacuum form? Could you make your own vacuum form machine? You'd basicly just need a vacuum and something to put the object on right? I really hate the way that glass looks. I'm in the process of tinting the glass but its not covering up the scratches and other flaws like I want it to. I wish the companies would pay closer attention to the crappy windows!!!! I mean if you're gonna put out a product, wouldn't you want it to be as nice as possible???? QUALITY FIRST right??? Or is that quantity first??? I can't tell anymore. Anyway, Thanks a million Bill!!!
  5. I saw a post somewhere and have tried to find this page, but it keeps sayin cannot display. Has this site changed or has it been executed????
  6. I was reading another post about what kinds of materials to use and was wondering how to do this without the fancy tools and gizmos.
  7. Awwwwwww, BRAIN CELLS are overrated!!! ... Just playin. I think it is very important to wear a respirator or a mask if you're messin with the chemicals found in almost every facet of our hobby. Who'd ever think that such a quaint lil' thing could be so DANGEROUS!! You got knives, paint, super glues, thinner, bondo dust, saws, lead solder, kittens, and who knows what kinda stuff is in the the other stuff that I cant think of right now.....
  8. TEN YEARS?!?!?!?!?!?! WOW! I gotta see that blade..... Luckily for me, I have been buying tools that work for our hobby for the last 14 years or so and I've collected quit a few in my short 27 years. I've always loved buying tools as much as the kits. I think its because tools are ALMOST forever and they are the pinacle of model building. No tools, no model. No model, you still have the tools to use on other things.
  9. Hey, go ahead and "semi-hijack" this post. Thats what its here for. Plus you could ask a ??? I didn't think of and help me in turn too.... Anything you can think of just go ahead and ask as well.....
  10. Bill, that 12 cylinder is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I've also looked at your Daytona for a combined time of about 2 or 3 hours. Cant keep my eyes off of it!!!!
  11. I was wondering because I wanna do a rat next and I want to run clear fuel lines and I thought about the monofilament, but I thought maybe there would be different sources as well.. Thanks guys.
  12. THAT IS JUST SWWWEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE GODS OF THE MODEL WORLD!!!!!!! ALL HALE BILL AND JAIRUS!!!!!!!
  13. WHAT DO YOU MEAN????? I love buying tools as much as I love buying the kits!!!! Its always fun to find something to make anything easier and more fun to build!!!
  14. Does anyone have any sources for tubing small enough for fuel lines etc.?? Or any tips on something that could work as tubing also??
  15. HOBBY LOBBY SUCKS WHEN IT COMES TO HELP OR QUESTIONS HERE TOO!!!! I thought it was only the store here. Do you guys use the super fine or the regular embossing powder?? I'm glad I looked at this post, I was just about to order some flocking. I hate WAITING!
  16. WELL..... Thats something ELSE Hobby Lobby doesnt carry!!! The next time I move I'm gonna factor in HOBBY SHOP locations!!!! I'm so sick of having to go 45 miles to the nearest hobby shop that carries anything good!! IF ANYONE IS THINKING OF STARTING A HOBBY SHOP IN INDIANA, COME TO COLUMBUS, PLEASE!!!!!!!! We are in DESPERATE need of a GOOD hobby shop here!!!!!
  17. Haven't seen that anywhere.... You got a pic so I know what to look for next time I go to Hobby Lobby?? Unfortunately, thats the only hobby shop in my area. ....
  18. WOW!!!! This post really took off!!! I was going through all of the websites of the auto stores in my city and nearby looking for Evercoat and not a single one of them has it!!! I knew someone would give me a better type.... Getting ready to call a few stores now to see if they have the Dynatron before I go running on a wild goose chase. THANKS ALOT GUYS!!!! I've been having some problems with trying to get the Testors contour putty to work for what I'm trying to do and its been making me VERY ANGRY!!!! I'm trying to fill in the dash gauges so I can use the PE gauges that look much better. I'm sure that will start a whole new conversation... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
  19. I'm wanting to know what everyone uses for body filler...... I hear alot of people say they use Evercoat, but I cant find any in my area, so I need to know what other kinds I can use...... THANKS....
  20. Reading this makes me sad..... How in the hell can these big companies just "LOSE" or destroy these precious molds????!!!! Its just heartbreaking to know that a company would be STUPID enough to do something like that. If this could work I'd send $20.... And if it was REALLY gonna take off I'd send a couple hundred bucks just to know that we could enjoy more awesome kits!! I'm sure I'm not the only one who would do the same.... I mean, whats a couple hundred bucks when you could have possibly twice the kits and not to mention all the old kits that were SO AWESOME!!!!! It could be done!! NEVER SAY NEVER!!!! Dream bashers SUCK!!!!!
  21. I've started with some solder wire for the pipes, now I just need the right muffler and tip setup.... I'm lookin for a muffler that has 2 in and 2 out for an "X" type pipe and then the tips. I saw on the Arrowhead Aluminum website that the poor guy was having ALOT of trouble and having a hard time keeping up with orders, but Im'm out here in the middle of "Corn Country" in Indiana and there's nothing within 45 miles that has anything "Aftermarket" for building. Thats why I'm such a late "Bloomer" when it comes to the aftermarket world. The only hobby type store we have is Hobby Lobby and they dont carry anything special, just kits, paint, and thats about it... I beleive I'm gonna check out the arrowhead site and see what hes got and maybe take a risk.... Thanks
  22. Hey guys and Gals, I've been looking for some good aftermarket exaust systems/parts and I have had no luck. If anyone knows of any good sources, please share with me..... and anyone else who is lookin too. THANKS EVERYONE
  23. YOU DI MOPAR FANS RIGHT!!!!! Absolutely stunning... Is that the Vinyl top spray from Model Master???
  24. SWWWWWEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!! I could tell from the progress pics it was gonna be great, but I didn't know it was gonna be that BEAUTIFUL!!!
  25. OKAY, how about, I want to be as TALENTED and KNOWLEDGEABLE as you when I grow up??? And treat others as you'd like to be treated is my personal MOTO.....
