Lamborghini: The man behind the legend
1930fordpickup replied to PowerPlant's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
The Hollywood movie makers have always had a hard time making movies about cars. Maybe that is why they like the EV'S so much. How many times have 5 and 6 hubcaps flew off of a car in a chase scene? How about when a car goes sliding in a corner and they use a different car for the stunt. not even the same brand of car. It had 4 doors anyway. -
Lamborghini: The man behind the legend
1930fordpickup replied to PowerPlant's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
You can't tell a story about the cars without talking about the Man himself. Most cars don't have 1.5 hours of interesting conversation for a movie to make money on. If you want a story about the Miura, that is a 30 minute after school special. Don't forget just because we would love an in depth movie on our favorite car, that swill not pay the bills. -
Hobby Lobby
1930fordpickup replied to Mike 1017's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I stopped it to the Monroe MI store on Thursday and there were 4 boxes on the floor filled with stuff for that Isle. A large number of robots models and a few of the rehash same old kits I already have. I looked through all of the boxes. LOL -
One of the best crank grinders here in the Toledo Area, left for a NASCAR engine builder 20 to 25 years ago. One small machine shop (that did great work) closed when the employees left to make double the money at the Railroad. I am not even sure where you take an engine around here to get it reworked. The crate engines with a warranty put most out around here along with the newer cars lasting longer. If the old cranky guys don't hire and teach young guys it will never change. They are looking around here for kids in the trades. When you don't hire new guys for 20 to 25 years and the guys that work all of the overtime they can retire who is there? When I graduated high school in 84 no one was hiring in the trades. you had to wait about 4 to 5 years for that influx of newer people. Some places still have a retirement at 30 years, even if they don't the body can only work for so long before you are worn out.

excitinting new kits for 2023 from Heller
1930fordpickup replied to ingema's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The tractor and the trailers look like a nice addition to this hobby. The rep talking does a good job of putting the confidence they are not slowing down but the opposite. There are other 1/24th kits that interest me like the race team, but the first 3 are what makes me ready to spend the money. -
Welcome aboard

Digital Caliper Modification
1930fordpickup replied to NOBLNG's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Great idea. A former (now retired) Boss has always said, tools or only good if you have a use for them. If they don't work, change them so they are useful. -
Ollie's strike again
1930fordpickup replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
They were 25% all last week. All of the Chebby's were already gone. Nothing but Jeep's and the Raptors left. A bunch of Jeep's funny here in Toledo you would have thought they would have been gone. -
Beware HOT resin parts attacking styrene parts
1930fordpickup replied to Scott Colmer's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Besides what the other have said, when mixing make sure you wipe the inside of the cup so you don't have unmixed resin leaving the cup. -
My friend of over 36 year passed away on Wednesday. Life is never going to be the same anymore.

Movie car complete......not happy with it........
1930fordpickup replied to Dave Van's topic in Model Cars
Dave this looks fine to me. Not your fault that you started out with a not so good looking car, but you made it look way better than GM did. -
Another here with nothing but praise. Great looking model.

were these models ever produced

MPC made a 67 Bonneville. good luck finding one. -

1930fordpickup replied to jphillips1970's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Not sure about the 1967 but the bottom 2 I do not think so. Maybe resin or 3D printed is out there. -
These do look great and 18's are a big improvement over 15's for a driver.

Anyone deal with Motor City Resin Casters?
1930fordpickup replied to gbtr6's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
It seems to me he doesn't know what to say about this problem. I think the biggest problem with resin people is they take orders beyond what they can produce. I would rather they close the shop to orders for a few months than have happen what has happened here. Not the first time a caster has ran into this problem.
