Nope, but I'm on a Linux box.

x2. The trigger is great for me.

I'm not paying $12 a set for hard resin wide white walls when I can print out soft resin Coker Firestone's with the Firestone name on the white wall for a mere fraction of that cost. Here's the Coker Firestone I want and yes, I've already done a trial print of a generic tire and the white wall insert.

I've been using Ubuntu Linux since 2010. The few Windows programs I have to use are run on Virtualbox inside Ubuntu. Don't need virus protection software and such.

I use Ghostery. Blocks trackers as well as ads.

I came across this pdf link while searching for info needed to create a proper 55 Dodge Red Ram hemi. Note the difference in the length and width of a 331 Chrysler vs a 270 Dodge. The Red Ram in the AMT 29 roadster kit is at or near the length of the AMT 57 392 Chrysler. The DeSoto hemi in the AMT 53 Ford flip nose pickup is even worse. All other manufacturer engines are also included. http://www.wilcap.com/HRT56 V8 small.pdf

Welcome Randy. It's great to see someone near my age and living within twenty miles of me.

Will this help. Be sure to open all the pictures. http://www.2040-cars.com/Ford/Model-A/1930-ford-model-a-phaeton-touring-convertible-632741/

Daytona show transporter. Anybody know about any Daytona show?

I grew up in the n.w. suburbs of Detroit. Every year on the 4th of July there were hydroplane races on the Detroit river. Miss Budweiser was around back then. The spray that comes from the back of the boat is called a rooster tail.

Henrix cast the 58 Ford in both hardtop and convertible. His castings are well done.

I don't really view this as a discussion. It's more of a pet peeve of some. Anyone who was around in 69 and is old enough to understand the market for models at the time and the popularity of "flower power". Just google "69 flower power cars" and check out the many Chrysler products that year that had flowered interiors and roof.

I have rear kits, but this is my favorite. I started it last week.

These may help you some. https://www.allpar.com/mopar/a-engines.html https://www.allpar.com/mopar/poly.html http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/dodge-c5.htm A block poly engines first appeared in 1956. The distributor is is mounted behind the intake and to the right of the cam. The oil filter was on the rear left side.

Flip and modify the manifold by removing the radiator goose neck. B block on left, A block on right.

I imagine your going to use I-95. All the above mentioned are west of there.

This is supposed to be a Chrysler B block engine. It was the first v-8 wedge Chrysler made and was not available until the 1958 Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto models used it. The 58 Plymouth was the 350 model. Dodge and DeSoto used the 361. Plymouth used the 361 in 59. This engine you built here has 2 flaws. It has an A block intake manifold which puts the distributor in the back instead of the front and the oil filter should be horizontal instead of vertical. The 58 Plymouth sold by Walmart has the proper intake and is a proper representation of the B block.

That's good cause I don't sell them. I cast mine from a junk Danbury Mint 55 Olds I picked up cheap a few years ago.

I made an rtv mold and cast the Olds engine from the AMT 39/40 Ford 2dr sedan. The 54-58 Olds engine used these valve covers, so unless you can find a pair, it won't be accurate. A nice Carter wcfb 4bbl carb would also help. I have both.

This build is beyond words. What a fantastic representation.

This is a sweet build, John. As a big Olds fan, it makes it even sweeter. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I've used Smooth On resin for 10 + years. The secrete is to pour parts A & B in their individual containers and wait a bit for the bubbles to go away. If then you use a pressure pot, you will get excellent parts. I also use petroleum jelly for a release agent.

The color is very close to stock. I have a full size 66 Merc that was originally that color. Nice color, nice build.
