Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Nice!! I cut what was left of our headliner out. It had shrunken to where it was 2-3 inches shy on all sides.....how did it happen??? -
It's NOT a Mustang problem. You can replace Mustang with Charger, Challenger or Camaro. The Mustang is targeted because there are so many of them, so cheap to upgrade and easy to own by idiots. I've owned a Mustang since 1975. My son has a 2016 Roush with 700 HP at wheels. We don't do dumb stuff on public roads. He does enter burnout contests at car shows at organized events off street. It all boils down oo driver/owner. Thanks

Gone as far as I can cleaning and interior........so I started on the engine. Removed spark plugs and feed engine with Marvel oil mixed woth some Lucas. It sat over night and I attempted to spin it after sitting since 1985. She spun VERY well w/o a gallop or noise. Put the plugs back in and cranked her with some ether. She started and ran for 5 seconds. Some gas in the carb and ran longer. But found fuel pump was not pumping so I am doing the VGG treatment to see if I can bring her back. Really happy how good everything is I am finding. Thanks for looking. -
20 Mule Team Borax
Dave Van replied to Dragline's topic in All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
Very nice work. I have two of the kits I got from Borax with box tops......the good old days! -
When I was working with Accurate Miniatures we looked at Jo-Han tooling that was in storage. NONE of it was complete and/or usable. While working with Moebius we looked at some other Jo-Han tooling. Same thing. ADD to it that just fixing these old tools left you with a mold MOST injection companies could not run or maintain. Atomic/Jo-Han is looking into many methods to bring model items to market. IMHO it is a positive move for the hobby and where it leads is yet to be seen. thanks

Modeling TV sit-com cars from '50s-60s; any out there?
Dave Van replied to W Humble's topic in WIP: Dioramas
Funnier today than it was new........ -
Very nice work on a kit often ignored.

OK.... IF....IF you have read all the posts in this thread you will find in the first post by Mr Boyd about ownership statement for the Jo-Han model car brand. Three people are named as the new owners. Then during Steve Magnate video he states 'Okey Spalding, owner of Jo-Han Models'........ BOTH can not be true at the same time. So I am not stirring up dram or useless BS. Trying to inform that if this topic is or interest you can search just a little and learn what is going on. One of the new owners, Jack Higgins, is a personal friend so I am not going to TELL people some info I know behind the curtain. Ask Tim Boyd, Steve Goldman etc if they sometimes have info they can't post but might be out there if you look around. Sorry if I confused any of you. Thanks
