Deuce Sedan "Old school but not same old same old"

Jeff that is a nice group of street rods you Uncle let you have. If you want to slow down the dust pick up a 20 gallon fish tank /reptile tank and turn it over upside down on the car. The pet store chains have a sale every now and them. Being you will not need all the extra's that a fish tank needs it should be fairly cheap for you. Just measure away and start looking for a sale. A swifter looks great for dusting the large scale before you put it away.

Have no fear, Payton will get another Ring. The NFL writers will make it a good story. LOL

My sister put some pictures for us to see on our family Facebook. She lives inside the DC belt loop. The drift between her building and the next one is over 6 ft tall. Still very windy it was starting to drift on the balcony.

Here in Michigan we would just shovel out the center, pile it up for a wind break and start the fire. You just have to pick up the empty bottles from the snow bank in the spring.

The V12 that Replicas & Miniatures sells has them. Not sure if he sells them separate.

The car in this Picture they do not look stock. They look flared to me. Went and looked at some more photos and the black makes them look flared more than other colors. The test shot look great, but paint will change the looks some.

If You Hit the Powerball Tonight...
1930fordpickup replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That is why I love Jay Leno. He throws his money at his cars for the rest of the world to look at and love. It was said that he was part of a group of guys that put money in a replacement head for Duesenbergs. They needed patterns that my brother in law worked on 10 years ago or so. You are correct that the newer software might be easier but unless you are using products of the same company (or one that is designed to scan in one spot and then 3d print in another) that might be the problem from the guys I was talking to. I will have to send out a question to the guy I know that works with surfacing now that it has been a few years. Things change by the day with Tech. -
Hobby area flooring ideas?

I will say that a two part epoxy floor paint will smell like the dickens. painting a 60 x120 building with the doors open still smells bad. Hopefully what you are getting Andy does not smell as bad as the stuff we used from Sherwin Williams. A great product btw. Sure cut down on dust and cleanup is easier. Just a reminder if you forget to turn off a light let it go. Walking on wet paint is like walking on ice with a fresh powder of snow. The kids at work were hopping I fell . LOL -
If You Hit the Powerball Tonight...

From what I have been told the 3d scanner only gets you the points but does not get you the surfaces to cut into the molds. Now again I have been told that a simple (compared to a model car) gallon jug like laundry soap would take almost 40 hours to do 1/2 by connecting the dots. You are correct in the way it could be done and I agree it should be done for older models for a new tool but it is not always as simple as we think it is. Sure wish I would have won so we could find out how easy this would be to do. -

Yes you can use super glue thin medium or the gell Just do not use it for the clear part or the chrome. It May fog the clear and the chrome. . Spend some time in the Question and Answers section and look around. the tips is also a good section. Good luck with your bench . -
Mine as well Rob. I had a cousin born during the Blizzard. They took a very large front end loader down the street to the house so my aunt could get to the Hospital. We had a snow drift that was up to the top of our Barn in the yard. Taller than the Bus we had for a camper. Started as an ice storm that switched to blowing snow here at the border.

Welcome aboard Mike. Nothing says you have to paint your first few models. I am providing kits for my Nieces boy's. they are not painting yet. Just learning how to sand and glue so it comes out looking like a car. Seems to be working for now. Their mom is a clean freak so painting for now is a no no, until they learn to put things away all the time. -

This is why I have fish. If a body falls in the tank they just swim around it. -
The last few weeks have been bad.

WHERE DO YOU BUILD
1930fordpickup replied to bubbaman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Funny thing about this saying, Why are you not allowed to be happy? Just wondering if you let her park in the garage? I would tell her that the SQ footing of the extra room is coming out of her half of the garage and use that. Sorry When I started my Rant I forgot to say I build on a desk in the Dining Room. Paint outside -

I have hard wood with a throw (low nap) rubber backed carpet on top for the chair. Most parts hit my big belly and bounce to the hard wood under the desk. So that I have to get on my hands and knees to find it. Next to the wall in the floor is a cold air return. The previous owner of the house put window screen under the vents. What a brilliant idea that turned out to be.
