This was fun, keep the old cars coming. Chrysler must have had a big influence on Simca styling as they (Simcas) were all pretty ugly in 1968. If I remember correctly it was the Plymouth GTX in the USA. This car looks very close- front end anyway- to the '68 Nissan Gloria or Rambler Ambassador SST. Maybe you could go easy on us to start with a few rounds of cars from north of the equator! In '68 I was driving a nifty little Fiat four door sedan with a four speed on the column. Let's see more. Thanks

Jairus, You have a PM.

Bright and early!!

How do you get your valuable cars to the car show? A cardboard box or a top notch carrier? Thom Asay

Anybody ever try BMF rubbed onto gaffers tape? Gaffers tape is a heavy weave cotton cloth like duct tape, but without the shiny smooth surface and less sticky adhesive on the back. When you stick the BMF to it and rub it in, the foil takes on a cross hatch texture similar to some underhood insulation. Thom Asay

Try asking that question at "Old Weird Herald" OWH's slot car talk or "Slotblog" There are a few in Fla. Thom Asay

Ya gotta luv that Nebraska license plate! Thom Asay

Mark To answer your question from another thread, Yes. Slowly getting back to models after many years of slotcar racing. Am trying to get two curbside cars finished to show. I will try to look you up, I may be hanging around the slotcar guys table. Thom Asay

Can someone tell me why you would use laquer thinner with enamel and not mineral spirits or naptha? Thom Asay

I have three of those, stacked together in the original cardboard packing sleeve. Thom

Soaking can still leave residue inside the nozzle. Get a can of carb cleaner or brake clean and stick the red tube thingy in the end of the nozzle that goes down in the can. Hold it tight and give it a shot of cleaner, cleans them right out. Thom

And if things do build up on the inside, go find a friend that plays guitar or base. They replace their strings on a regular basis and throw the old ones away. These things are springy stainless and come in various diameters. They are great for sticking in places to clean things out. Thom

Is this the one at The Club on W. Lincoln ST.? Details where? Thanks Thom

What are your tips for decanting paint from rattle cans? Thanks Thom

Thanks Bill, thats what I figured. Guess I'll have to stick with D & E types. Maybe I'll build that 1/8 th scale E-type. Thom

Nice ride!! Where are the wheels and tires from? Thom

Hello all. I've been lurking around here for a few months, and learning alot of really good stuff. After our local show & swap meet I got out a couple of old cars and started working on them again. My intrests are custom sports cars and custom hot rods, which brings up a question. Does anyone make a 1/24 or 1/25 scale C-Type Jaguar? Thanks for all your great tips and help. Thom
