1930fordpickup replied to stavanzer's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Sad news for his family. He had a great run to 94. His knowledge with race engines was incredible. -
The wallmart in Holland ( Toledo Suburb) Ohio has them but the 2 in Toledo do not. None in Monroe MI or Adrain.

Removing Exterior Parts - Advice Please!
1930fordpickup replied to Badge73's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If you are good with a dremel tool and a burr or sanding drum you can make fast work of the high spots. If you are not good, you will be filling more than you wanted or worse. Micro mart have a few chisels and other tools for doing what you are looking for. -
Can I Save This?
1930fordpickup replied to obs.caleb's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I agree with the others and say strip it. Give it a good wash after that with Dawn and Comet and see what you have. This is a Commen kit so if it is a little more than you want to fix as also mentioned above you could get another. It would make a good beat up dirt track race car as another option. -
Perfect Plastic Putty Question
1930fordpickup replied to oldcarfan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Not many epoxy type products last more than a year. Hey all have an expiration date early on the package. Keeping 2 part bondo in a colder place than normal will extend the life of the tube. I was told this by an employee of bondo brand. He did not say yes I could put it in the fridge when asked, verbally. -
‘55 El Camino

The B pillar change helps the look. I hate to say it but the white walls with caps also have my vote. Maybe a set of babymoons would look good also.- 71 replies

Sources for 8 lugs rims
1930fordpickup replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I believe you can purchase just the wheels from pegasus hobbies. The owners of moebius. Maybe that is just the ramp truck wheels and tires. -
Very cool model you have built. We seen a lot of these body style Camaros headed to Toledo speedway when I worked at a Sohio gas station back in the day.

Revell 64 Tbolt off the Show Room Floor
1930fordpickup replied to FoMoCo66's topic in WIP: Model Cars
In 1982 the Super Ford show was in Dearborn MI. There was a couple of Thunderbolts there. I was drooling while checking them out. -
Could you put the tint on the inside of the window? So dusting later will be safer? Just asking after a thought.

I have just hit the $25 million Jackpot
1930fordpickup replied to Mike 1017's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
My dad started answering "I'm broke" as a joke because he had 11 kids. He said you cant believe how many people hang up. Before and after the cell phone. A good friends mom had a guy swindle her out of money. He told her he was going to come to town to Marry her. Lead her on like they had something going on. There's was nothing the kids could do because she sent the money on her own free will and she was in her right mind just elderly was not good enough. -
Is that engine offered 3d printed by anyone over there? Shipping the plastic over seas is getting stupid.

Monroe MI has a couple of the Jags, 4 or 5 of the Green Camero's, a lot of Dom's 71 GTX and a lot of the Snap Ford Raptor's. I purchased the 32 Fords they had left.
