				AMT 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup (Unocal 76)
1930fordpickup replied to Sketch1982's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
If you have to glue some evergreen strip to irhe edge and sand it to fit. Better than filler most of the time. If you dont have any evergreen strips use the sprue plastic. I would file it done thin before gluing to the part. I believe the issue is the heavenly ran kit lately. -

This is going to be great for the Chrysler fan base. He had a bunch of nice items on the old shape ways. -

Could your problem be on You tubes end? They love ads - 
	That is an awesome recovery your team did.

	When you are done, will you be able to male your own car with "leftover" parts? Maybe just your memory will work.

Welcome aboard. - 
	Man that is a bummer. Getting older and watching the icons pass makes you realize how short life is.

	Thank you for the great answer on how to get ride of the edges from printing parts because of how the layers work. At no point has anyone on this and other threads called the setting or referred to the setting by striations. I am not sure why anyone would call them that. My first contact with 3d printed parts was in 1997 or 98. They were called layers then also.

	You better have a wet suit. LOL

				"Customer Service" in the digital age

Good luck Bill. Auto payments suck for this reason. They are like a time share. - 
	Thats a long drive for a plastic windshield. Way to go Ace.

Welcome to the forum. Trains are fun like cars. When it comes to the painting you can learn a lot from here in the tips section. If you decide to build a car just remember you dont have to paint the first few you build. - 
	I have a Starrett 12 ×18 pink granite surface plate. When one of the older guys retired at work I bought it from him. I was going to use it at work but we have several large plates to use. Not only that another guy here bought a 24 x 36 plate that I can use. It was mentioned about going to a counter top place. Not a bad idea if you have one in the area. They may charge you but I believe it will be cheaper than buying a small head stone.

	I just checked MSC and we can still purchase the scribes You will want the one with the 1/4 handle..i

	The general brand pencil style scriber has the 1/8 collet size also. The one with the magnet on one end. I have ground broken carbide tools to a point to use in it. (.020 to .0625 diameter end mills break if you push them to hard. So I have a few of these.) You can also use a round burr like a scrapper in these. STARRET brand tools are great Just remember that they sell a larger scribe with a .187 diameter collet also. Sorry this is a Lufkin brand and not a starrett. Picture below, a standard old Exacto knife for size, general scribe with burr inserted, Starrett and the Lufkin.

	If you dont get a responce here try to send Jimmy Flintstone a message. He might just sell you the hood.

				Ford Pro Stock or Pro Street Kits?
1930fordpickup replied to PHPaul's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I believe this is 40% off week at hobby lobby if you are close to one anyway. (Not sure how ordering from them works for the discount week.) The 67 Prostreet Chevelle jas nice tires and wheels and normaly in stock. Has a big block Chevy if thay is what you want. But Inalso agree with the bed printed engines from texas 3d customs or iceman collections. They both have awesome selection and products are top notch.
