  1. I've had good luck with heating the spray cans before spraying . I have an old iron that I mount upside down in a vise set on low and just set the cans on it till I'm ready to paint . Shake the cans a couple of times as it heats up and just before spraying it to get a good mix and don't heat it hotter than you can hold . Heating it thins the paint and increases the pressure in the can .
  2. Another fantastic conversion ! ?
  3. Nice to se your stuff again Dave , you're such a talented builder .
  4. Amen , Brother !
  5. If you're set on using the holes in the body, I'd suggest turning the hinge to the outside behind the c pillar . It will be tedious work to get a flat surface to mount your hinge to , but it's doable .
  6. Wow , all of those are nice ! ?
  7. Thanks Dave , we really appreciate the work you guys put in to keep this forum on top .

  12. Spent the day in the ER with my wife , nausea , alternating chills and sweats , body aches , diarrhea and weak from not eating . Called our GP and they say don't bring in to the office , she might have Covid , take her to the ER . Got there at 11 , we're low priority and they were busy , finally got admitted at 2 . After all the tests and waiting , find out she has a cold , Covid negative . Home at 5:30 and she has an appetite for the first time in a week . Glad for the results , not so much the journey .
  13. Harbor Freight has several packs of small bits , they vary in size. Sizes down to a hair on a 1/8" mandrel . .

  19. Loved that video , used to race a junior dragster with my daughter and built our own engines , same basic design but only 1 cylinder .
  20. Went to the local IPMS show and picked up 2 Grumpy's Vegas , a Polar Lights 69 Coke Cyclone , a Monogram 55 street machine (old Bad Man) , Early Irons 30 Ford Touring and 36 Ford convertible . I took my 5 year old grandson (his first show) and he had a great time , was fascinated with all the different models , picked up a snap monster truck and a couple of die cast for him.
