I use it.

I do not impulse buy, and to me, that is what you are doing. I logically think out what i need before i buy and never buy strictly on price unless it is what I need. I know it is what I need before I buy.

Chris, Thank you very much for you tutorial. It makes a lot of sense to me and is very easy to follow. As an owner of a real classic 1:1, I can see the logic of your application.

I believe that all of this has been covered in a previous post some time last year. A posters build level is dependent in their seriousness in the hobby. If someone wants to improve their building skills, its up to the individual poster. You, as the viewer, as per recent guide line, can pm the poster with suggestions as to how to improve their builds and if they are receptive, fine. If they don't, than live with it. They are building to their level of seriousness and that is how it is.

I have a helping hands brand that I purchased 10 years ago or there about. It is handy when you need it. Amazon has the same one for sale right now for $6.29. I like to purchase items that I can get a review from others who have bought the same item. This item has 59 reviews. 20 5 star, 21 4 star and 9 three star. I like the one I have and , as I said, it's useful when needed.

I knew it right away because I have this book. This is an interesting view of it on the front cover.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. I like it. Great build.

I like your choice of colors and those wheels look great on it.

Very nicely done. I like your color choices. And of coarse, it's stock.

It's a model.

I have a scale ruler but, also use this scale converter for same calculations: http://jbwid.com/scalcalc.htm

The builders at this site might want them for parts. http://automotion.myfastforum.org/ I think Tony T is an admin there, but I could be mistaken

It looks real to me.

It's nice to see this kit built. I have one in my stash. You did a very nice job. Well done.

I'm going with real this time.

I'll guess real.

A happy one Chuck.

Agreed Harry

Mike, I got it with the first guess, if that's what you want to call it. The problem was that I added Silver Streak to the answer and that's where Harry and I got into it. It's not like a hemi insignia on a Chrysler product. The general public didn't elude to a car as a hemi plymouth, etc. like the Pontiac was/is referred to as a Silver Streak. Wekiopedia states in it web page that it is in reference to the straight eight engine, yet all Pontiacs bore the Silver Streak name, incluing the sixes. Apples and oranges for a different time and era in automotive history. The google search bears witness to the popularity of the term to this day.

You still refuse to get it Harry. You refuse to acknowledge what was going on. It's not a model name. It's a name attached to the vehicle by pontiac for advertising purposes and it caught on. You are so thick and determined that you can't get that concept through you heads. That plus the fact that you are too young to know how it was referred to during this period and in fact, believe it or not, still is to this day. Do a google search and enlighten yourself. Silver streak is as scotch tape for cellphone tape and Reynolds wrap for aluminum foil. Get a clue.

You just don't get it Harry. Silver Streak was a name Pontiac associated with there cars as a sales gimmick. You show me where on the 1948 Pontiac it says Torpedo on the body and I'll show you where it says Silver Streak. It's a concept that you just can't seem to grasp.

Give it up Harry. You'll never convince me. Your too young.

It is clearly a Torpedo as that is the model by brochure. The Silver Streak issue is an a subject that Harry and I went back and forth on for a number of pm's. The name silver streak, as pointed out by Skip, was in reference to the silver streaks on the car and absolutely correct. Wekipedia was incorrect, again. The name Silver Streak was promoted in the ads by Pontiac in 1937, and appeared on the car for many years as the only name besides Pontiac. When, as a you boy, I was learning the names of cars by appearance in the early 1950's, we always referred to Pontiacs as Silver Streaks. Even to this day, ads for this vintage Pontiac refer to them as Silver Streaks.

Yes, there is at least one accountant model builder on this board, but I get paid to answer the subjects in this post.

DeBary, with 1 r is were I live Tim. I have not had any problem with drivers. I'm using an AMD 64 setup with an ATI graphics card, Canon Pixma printer. Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 mos and supports released versions for 2 years after release with continual updates. I use version 10-10 which was released when I installed it in November of 2010. The 10-10 stands for October, 2010.
