  1. Also if you need a radius you can stick the tape to a dowel or plastic bottle that matches the contour you need.
  2. Plastic plants run 24 7 365 days. Rarely do they shut down because it can take a shift to get them running again.
  3. They can run them as fast as they want, but you get get warped bodies and hoods.
  4. Wow this is amazing.
  5. We lost another great one. Sad news because 65 is way to young.
  6. I see what you did there. This is great.
  7. Claude this is another Nice Model from you. I like the wheel choice. It could always be a salt flat racer push truck. Sell Pizza to help pay for the race car.
  8. Wow Yuri this is awesome. You picked the colors of the Last truck my Grandfather purchased. Same year also.
  9. This is a good post with a great list to help us that have no idea what is what with Big Trucks. Thank You guys.
  10. Welcome aboard Chang. All of your models look nice.
  11. Welcome from another person who has purchased parts from you.
  12. I like this more than I should. 1936 stock Ford is my favorite from the era.
  13. Is there a school out your way to learn to use the lathe? We have a good community college here that you could take a class.
  14. Claude I have no idea what they did for traction. This is from Wikipedia below. This was on what looks like smooth tires. On January 12, 1904 in New Baltimore, Michigan, Henry Ford personally drove the rechristened 999 with his mechanic Ed "Spider" Huff at the throttle. A new land speed record was achieved of 91.37 mph (147.05 km/h) on an ice track carved into Lake St. Clair's Anchor Bay. It stood for only a few weeks, but this was ample time to bring more good publicity for Ford's new company.
  15. I sure am late to the party with this beauty. Wow is all I can add. Claude great choice for the drive train and graphic's. Claude you can always run it on a frozen lake Like Henry did with the 999.
  16. Sorry for your loss Carl. Prayers for your family.
  17. This is awesome Bob. I had no idea this was on the market.
  18. AC/DC Back in Black and Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon not in the top 10??? What had Rolling Stone became? Now I remember why I stopped getting that rag years ago. When they put Dire Straights Brothers In Arms in the 400's they must have been high on something.
  19. It only took me a year but I found this. Looks great so far.
  20. I agree what has already been said Gareth . This car looks good. Very close to the same color green as my brother did the Ventura kit in back in the 70's.
  21. My brother had a 79 Chevette ( I think that is the year it was) that was a low mile car around 95 or so. It would be all the rage today as there was not a shiny spec of paint on it. No rust what so ever but it ran great and got him to any place he wanted to go. That is until a Jeep ran through a light and totaled it for him. He had full coverage and the insurance company wanted to give him 500 bucks. He had replacement value. They told him that is all it is worth. He said no it is not and you know it is worth more. He told the agent we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way. Go find me one, not a rust bucket, not a drag car, Just what you insured. They found one that was more than what he was asking for.
  22. Larry it is not just you. Everyone wants you to join their points club or down load an app. So sick of it.
  23. I Like it. Around here the Pizza Huts used the Pinto wagons with port holes in the back.
