  1. Woke up to a nice 51 degrees outside , looks like fall has finally arrived in Florida .
  2. Just google "hydro dipping film" , they're available on Amazon , hundreds of patterns .
  3. My son and I worked in a gun shop and got to do this to customize AR and 1911 frames . The material comes in 24" rolls , there are 100s of designs , just lay the material on top of the water , we used a 10" deep 24" by 36" stainless steel pan , and dip the part as seen in the video above . The films we used needed to be baked on after dipping .
  4. I thought I recognized the voice , Martin Tarnrot , from Sweden , does a lot of tutorials for Model Railroad Academy .
  5. I'd drive that ! Beautiful truck .
  6. Those look great , Bob
  7. our prayers are with you ,
  8. great compilation , love the old stockers .
  9. Sad to hear your troubles , we'll be praying for you .
  10. Several ways to go here , for the cast part in the kit , use a small file and put grooves on the back side of the belt to simulate the ribs on the belt . Next would be to cut the pulleys loose from the part and file it down to actually look like a pulley and use black electrical tape cut into the appropriate width ( with pieces of .010 rod applied to the sticky side to simulate the ribs) and paint it flat black . Another way is to find the drive belt from an old printer that is the right size and cut it up to the correct length and use it with pulleys cut to fit . I'm the there are other ways but these have worked for me in the past .
  11. picture ?
  12. I love the tall T rods . Looks like you're coming right along on this . What are you going to do engine wise ? Unless you're using the torque tube to anchor the rear , and it would be marginal by itself , I would suggest a 4 link set up to stabilize the rear axle or at least a 3 link , to stop the rear from rolling on the air bags . You're also going to need some shocks .
  13. Got my 11 Flex back from my son , he was replacing the A/C compressor and associated parts , and got the system charged . MMMM , cool breezes again !
  14. Had floaters since a teenager , I'll look in to the pineapple angle , sounds promising .
  15. Man , I went through prostate cancer a couple of years ago , you've got to hang in there and work for the best outcome , it's frustrating and painful , but you have to do it . You and your wife are in my prayers .
  16. Yeah , we kinda figure this will be our last car purchase , barring an accident . We tend to keep vehicles a long time , they become part of the family .
  17. Aww , the old Binks Wren ❤️ , I have a B model , first airbrush I bought , would rather use it than any other I have , so simple to use and clean .
  18. Picked up a new ride last week to replace the wife's totaled Crown Vic , 2019 Flex , 7000 miles on it . Most we've ever spent on a car at one time .
  19. We made our last move 45 years ago , house payment was $276 , was worried about covering it . Now our light/water bill is larger . And don't get me started on moving again , people grow to their environment , and we've filled out nicely , stuff everywhere , moving would be a nightmare for sure .
  20. , not what I would have thought . Thanks , Casey
  21. wow , really nice group .
  22. Found this ,
  23. Just watched a bidding war for a 68 Corronet HT body go to $206 , wow .
