It being acrylic what I have done in the past is fill your sink to just above the cap, place your bottle upside down and let in soak for a few minutes, then use a pair of pliers or what have you, you shouldn't have any problems, I've don it many times. Nick

Got these two I guess Friday, they were sitting underneath my truck when I got home lastnight, bought these from a friend, both were sealed. Nick

More Work. Nick

Finished a few parts: Started modifying the interior: And ran across a problem, compare the below door panel to the above. So Scratchbuilding some new door panels tonight. Nick

Hmmm, might have to check mine. Nick

It's a Snap Kit, if it's fine then why say that it was the worst model mistake you made. Nick

Whats wrong with the CV from Lindberg I built one and have 3 more to build, only thing I noticed as a flaw is the front wheels are not centered in the wheel wells. Nick

Well my personal Opinion/ Experience, you usually purchase your lets say glue for more than one build, Hell I've got all kinds of different glues all purchased at different times and used on multiple builds, other supplies could be considered under the same thinking, so just how would you break down the cost of those said supplies? Nick

Unfortunately Steve our schedule is every 3rd Wednesday of each month, A show however has never been talked about and might be worth considering. Nick

Thanks Hugh and Jordan. Hugh, your very right, and with me replacing all kinds of parts on the 1:1 I also have seen things most wouldn't, Jordan, I'm lucky, not to many things I have to scratchbuild on this one. only things I can think of are Headrests, tonneau cover, Exhaust, A/C system, Portion of the Air Cleaner and a few mix detail items. Nick

June 30th is approaching quickly and though it's sad to say I don't think I'll be making the deadline with both of my entries, I managed to finish the Jeep, but my wrecker keeps dragging on, anyway, this is the stage it is at. I Plan to finish before the year is out, after all If I don't it'll be 3 years in the making. Nick

Got these from Pat Redmond. Nick

305, Non Vortec, just the way I like it. Nick

Thanks Nick (HEHE self giggle) Nick

Oooooooh Bill that is Gorgeous, I love it, one of the best '40 Fords I've seen. Nick

Sure was, Runs like new now. Threw a set or Champion Double Platinums in it and used my NAPA discount to get NAPA premium Cap & Rotor, already had the Champion silicone plug wires. Nick

Thank you Luc and Jim, Anyway, progress in 1:1 and 1:25th 1:25th first: Did a loose mockup and finished off the tires, In september the 1:1 is getting a set of the Wranglers. 1:1, New Distributor cap & Rotor as well as Plug's and Wires. Reason why it was hard to start on damp or cold days. Distributor rotor was severely corroded Nick

Thanks guys, actually Bill I'm owner #4, though the man who I bought it from had it from '95 on, but it has never been garaged, it's always been a winter driver, just has been very well maintained by all the previous owners and I plan to keep that tradition going. Nick

The 1:25th (So Far) Nick

Doing a replica of my new (to me) '93 Chevrolet Cheyenne C1500 pickup. Wanting it to be fairly well detailed so I have been working at it slowly, anyway: The 1:1

Trial and Error and practice, that's the only way to get good at anything, I tried my first PE Mechanical Fan the other day, it was sort of hard and I had problems but it looks pretty darn good, Andy, Just Try, the worst you can do is make a mistake, the best you can do is surprise yourself. Nick

These are from Pro-tech, Nice carbs are out their, For me it's the Belts and Pulleys and/or Intakes on most kits engine, the old Blob and 12" wide belt, Right now I'm replicating my truck and while the AMT 90 Chevy trucks were very well detailed for their time, that particular kit lacks quite a bit regarding the belts/pulleys, the kit includes an A/C Compressor on the Pulley's but no other A/C parts (Condenser, lines ETC), the Alternator is nothing more than a Chrome blob, and the Power steering looks nothing like the Power Steering pump you would find on the 305/350 in the real trucks, it also just a blob, yet in the kit they over detail other area's with super crisp engravings, to me that's just laziness. Rant over. Nick

I've had a few "I need this for a project" Impulses and then got home and either A. Forgot or B. already had one with the exact same idea in mind (and full of the parts needed) Nick

I got this bill today that made me giggle. Nick

Okay, now were rolling hot on this one. First PE fan. Tight Fit. Nick
