You need to get yourself some new literature Art. Hemming Classic Car issue #67, page " The four -main-bearing Stovebolt, along with several GMC variants as large as 302 cubic inches, lasted until 1962, when Chevrolet introduced the compact Chevy II model and, with it another 194-cu in. engine six cylinder engine." Encyclopedia of American Cars, page 219 under 1962 Chevrolet specs. Engines-I-6,194 3.56x3.25 S-Chevy II all, plus http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Chevrolet/1962_Chevrolet/1962_Chevrolet_Chevy_II_Brochure/1962%20Chevrolet%20Chevy%20II-10.html which is the Chevy II brochure for 1962. which is the 1962 Chevy II brochure.

Yes. And both of you miss what a resolution is. It is not a frivolous promise to oneself to set some goal which you may not keep, but a statement of a determination to earnestly work toward that goal to accomplish the desired end. Those successful in life have the resolve, those that aren't, are not.

In this coming year, 2012, I want to 1: finish my scratch building project and 2: complete at least 15 model builds, Lets see where I am next year at this time. Whats your model resolutions for 2012?

I love the Hudsons. Done just as they should be. Beautiful builds.

Yes, the full size still had the early 235 cu 6. The Chevy II used a new for 1962 194 cu 6.

First off, what are you using for a donor engine. That would seem to answer most of your questions.

I was in my local Hobby Town yesterday, but it wasn't.

Built 12, bought 0

Find a store that sells auto paint in spray cans and look for a can of build primer or scratch filler. Follow Plowboy's instruction and problem solved.

I,m going with real on this one.

I do this all the time. You need a program called Gimp Image Editor. It's open source so its free. Open the file you want to make a certain print size, go to tools, then transform tools and crop it so that it is either the height or width of what you want, save it as a new file, re-open it. go to image than print size and re-size it and save it again. Reopen it and print it out.

Here are the Ford engine blue colors.

I also have been getting Hemmings Classic Car and Muscle Machine since day one. My renewals that I did in June and November are digital though. I get an email and a link when a new issue come out, download it as a pdf and read it at my leisure. No more piles of mags. Can't beat the price-$7.00 a year. I mcm would go digital, I'd buy it.

I've been on that hairpin more than once in the early eighties. It was winter, snowing like crazy and at night. There was no guard rail. It was anything but cool.

99% of what I airbrush is acrylic paint spayed with a paasche H. I use Liquitex Airbrush medium and water for thinning and 91% alcohol for cleaning. When I am done painting, I take the needle and tip off the airbrush and soak them in a small glass of the alcohol. After a short while, I clean the needle with a thin tooth pick and rinse it under running water. If I am painting more than one color, I fill a spare paint bottle half full of alcohol and spray it through the airbrush until the spray if clean and then change color. I haven't had to clean the tip while painting.

I've been using these for a couple years now. The silver is much better than the sharpie and I find it works well for interior and dash detail. The silver sharpie is good for exhaust and things of that nature.

I finished 10 64 Plymouth 37 Ford pu 40 Ford sedan delivery 25 T Ford coupe 34 Ford pu 30's Rolls Royce roadster 1929 Mercedes SSK 1950's Austin Healy 100 1941 Chevy coupe 1930 Ford Cabriolet Less than one day to finish 1934 Mercedes 1936 Mercedes - Entex A few days to finish 1965 Dodge Coronet Plus good progress on a scratch built project

Looks real to me.

I have been casting for about 6 + years and after trying some different products, settled on Smooth-On. Dragon skin always gives me a good mold and smoothcast 305 resin a good cast. I have not needed to use any pressure pot as I have never gotten bubbles on any cast. I cast anything from carbs to full size model car bodies bodies. It also helps having a distributor in the area.

So much for Jacksonville or Orlando.

Virg, Check my avatar. I'm even further along than it shows. I foresee a full series of a gm A bodies in the near future. I have taken photos during the process and will do a w.i.p. sometime in the furure. That's a 1935 Lasalle rumble seat coupe.

What is so difficult? I don't understand. Done in a matter of a few minutes with Photobucket.

I think the real trick is to use a tape that is not real sticky and wont leave a a lot of real sticky glue behind and to spray or brush a barrier such as a clear coat of future to give you a sharp edge. Works for me.

Happy birthday Ed. May the gods be with you and you have many more b-day past my age. .

Donn has hit the nail on the head and said exactly what I was going to post. It's the 5 P's that make the grade. Terry, I have a 25 T that has the same shine on it's roof as your model in your post has. It was painted with cheap Apple Barrel gloss black acrylic and finished with Future. The difference in mine and yours is was I didn't expose myself to harmful chemicals that can harm my health or kill me. It was Donn's DVD that made the difference for me.
