Yes, thinner will pretty much dissolve the chrome. I guess the suggestions for using that product wasn't thinking someone might use the technique on chrome.

I hope that 40 Sedan delivery you ordered isn't the one they redid into a goofy looking "lights on the top of fender" RIDES issue.

Nice Jaguar, Sergey. One question: I would like to see 1/25th scale kits of Russian cars. I was just wondering why no such thing is made. A lot of aviation and military stuff from Russia, but no cars except for the 1/35th scale stuff from WWII and the Revolution.

resin casters anyone?

What are you using for the mask? Try Tamiyas tape or there is a similar tape used by the body shop people that is cheaper. I've use bare metal foil with good success. I even used Press and Seal wrap for large areas.

Since I worked in printing once, I knew what stripping meant, but you guys just had to go there. I't's OK braddah Gregg, MCM is da kine.

Actually, since Milwaukee is close by (it's a draw for people going shopping) and Muskego has a new Wal-Mart, we have three hardware stores in our town. When I need some little widget to fix a running toilet or dripping faucet or some electrical goodies, I go to the True Value, we also have an Ace and an independent hardware shop. In fact, the Ace is building a new shop right next door to the new Wal-Mart. See, businesses of different sizes can compete and coexist in the same area. muskego is around 20,000 people. We even have a Bumper To Bumper, NAPA, and an Autozone. They are national brands but locally owned. The brands offer purchasing power for the operator. With the exception of the Autozone, they all seem to have full parking lots. We even have Kohl's here which is nationally known but is a Wisconsin owned company.

Oh yes, the Frontenac. That was kind of cool with that distinct grille design.

Goods were already being outsourced before Wal-Mart. I try to buy US made things, but when the choice isn't available, I might shop Wal-Mart if my local store won't or doesn't carry it. I live 18 miles outside of Milwaukee, and I rarely go there. Unless I need something the shops in my town don't have. Then I tend to shop local owned businesses, like my LHS. As for jobs, my sister works at Wal-Mart and gets decent pay, bennies and all that. Blame the actual companies for outsourcing like Rival, West Bend, GE Medical Systems, the electronics makers, clothing makers, small engine manufacturers, model cars, et cetera. People will still need some of the products and buy them regardless if Wal-Mart or the local appliance, hardware, hobbyshop or clothing store sells them. There are many things that we still make here, but it's a lot of heavy machinery kinds of things. BTW, there are websites devoted to USA made goods. You can research the products yourself and make you're own decision. US things I own are: Sonic speakers New Balance shoes Ultimate speaker stands Mackie mixer amp American DJ CD player plus a lot of other things I own like Lindberg kits...US made!!! The engine in my HHR Panel truck is made in New York (truck made in Mexico), which is still better than the Turkish made Ford Transit connect.

You have to remember, that to the liberal mind set, selling goods inexpensively to lower income people and making money at the same time is considered "ripping off". They believe that "the poor" should get it for free.

Hehehehe. My nephew who lives in Phoenix, was up visiting here in Wisconsin last week and kept complaining about the cold and couldn't wait to get back to Arizona. Ha! I hope he is likng that "nice" weather there now. All I can say to him is neener neener neener!!!

And wasn't the Monarch a brand sold by Ford of Canada? I love Canadian Cars.

You can come up here to Wisconsin and play in some serious snow. We had almost 20 inches dropped on us from that same storm system that hit Texas.

That's why when starting a business, you should just offer your services to the wealthy. No one ever got rich selling to the poor...well...except maybe Wal Mart.

Interesting thing, I went to see the site and found my town on the list.

Ya know, I've never seen MCM late at my hobby shop, and I'm thinking of subscribing too. I'm thinking it's a Postal issue myself. This is not an issue of getting paid late or getting slow service at the doctor...it's a freakin' hobby magazine.

You should stay off "those" web sites. That's where malware comes from .

Demographics being what they are, I would say that model car hobby is more for us older types. Yes kids get into the hobby but are more into the instant gratification types of activities like video games or even sports. The CARS movie appealed to a wide age group from kids to adult. There were really cool inferences to the age group that would actually enjoy the movie. I don't think kids would understand the whole "Filmore and his organic fuel" and his respecting the classics comment toward Sarge... "Hendrix man, respect the classics". My whole car club consisting of 40 to 70 year old people got to go to an advance screening just for us when it came out...no kids in the audience.

I can recommend a great divorce attorney for ya!

What/ ya couldn't move up to Wisconsin where it's cheaper? LOLS

Ben & Jerry's

Tamiya also has very nice model paints in spray and bottles.

I thought JFK was transported in a 63 Pontiac hearse owned by the Navy.

Didn't Andy Granatelli have a line of parts for the Stude engine? Over on the HAMB, there is a lot of comments on how the Studes were rodded, even with Stude engines. The cars also enjoyed a lot of swaps from other makers, the most popular being Cadillac. Caddies had similar dimensions and somewhat resembled Studebaker engine design. Simple mods to a Caddy intake would get you the ability to use a four barrel carb.

Then it's on your end, because I see it fine. It's Rammstein.
