seems like an interesting kit, but ya know what airfix quality is like... i dont remember at this point wich cars it included, but i think it was: some older ford escort mkIII? an older triumph... and one more.....
-
wow, looks awesome, allthough im not one for the big wheels... but otherwise it looks GREAT, i build mostly lowriders myself, 1:1 and small scale.

Hey billy kingsley, how about some more pics of that surf-woody, (it was a woody right?) and that limegreen/red pickup that shows a little in the backgrounds in so many of those pics??

That looks pretty good, what color are you going by?? Ive also noticed that many of you guys her dont like spraying indoors?? i do all my spraying indoors, all you need is something to cover the model like a box wich you cut out two sides from, works fine. and you sleep soOOo good the upcoming night!

Lookin good, if i'd paint it, i would mix a transperrant candygreen with some gold-metalic, and let it fade over a gold-yellow metalic from the front up to about where the hood ends,and to the doors on the sides. btw, were are those rims from??

twin ignition system in 51 chevy
JAFFA replied to jbwelda's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
hmmm, i do know that my dads army-JAWA motorcykle has twin ignition, so if one brakes, theres anotherone right there. that bike's from somwhere during the 60's, i dont know if that info iz of any help? -
well since the -58 continental beauty/beast poll got a lot of attention, i thought id add a poll about this well discussed, (wow that word is hard to spell) different looking machine, its aother of my favourites, but many other people think it looks kinda like a sick dog, this was has in this case been a fact since it first entered production, no one wanted it because of the "toilet seat-front", so it was a fiasko from the start. but really its not that ugly, i like the different thinking on that front, why should it have a specific shape? why not try something new? i must admit, im not one for the rear, but otherwise its basicly a good looking car., if you ask ME.

someone asked if i built the Modelhaus '58 Lincoln, and nope i did not, i would but theres too many things on the bench right now!! someone else brought up the edsel, wich is yet another favourite, that -58 edsel pacer was one beautiful piece o machinery, actually most of my favourites are -58's, the edsel 58, continental 58, and impala 58 and 60, a good year for me i suppose... someoneelse asked about the suicide doors, yop the continental had suicide 4doors as stock, this was because that way they could make fourdoor convertibles.

where can i find a lincoln club coupe??
JAFFA replied to JAFFA's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials

where can i find a lincoln club coupe??
JAFFA replied to JAFFA's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
i did get the lindberg 48 continental coupe convertible, IT SUCKS A$$!! i got it so cheap, it doesent really matter, but still this kit is really in shops, WHY? the headligths are not clear lenses, they are chromed and pieced together with the chromeparts surrounding the actual headlight the hubcaps look more like little hats than hubcaps, ive got some photos of this, that ill uppload as soon as ive fixed the computer at home. and the engine looks like, like... ehh, it doesent even closely resemble ANYTHING! why in the earth are these lame kits so expensive!!?? -

where can i find a lincoln club coupe??
JAFFA replied to JAFFA's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
hey people, thanks for all ideas so far, and as someone said i can take parts from other kits and mold it together to a club coupé. i do have the 1:1 to compare with so itll be allright, only id hope to find one "factory-made" kit... not too much is different from the continental, its basicly the rear end that is. -
Never try to catch a pin vise!
JAFFA replied to Steve H.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
dont, catch hammers with your knees, feet or legs, it hurts and the hammer allways bounces on to something important that brakes easily. And dont bend knives with your teeth, the teeth cracks before the knife even starts to bend, forks works just fine tho, i found out while showing off at lunch.. dont catch melted metal that u spill when molding, the scars never go away. and for god sake dont try to stop the sowingmachine with youre fingers, the needlegoes straight threw and brakes into dossenz ov splinters, this one, however i didnt do myself, that was a friend of mine... -
i was talkin to somone about the design of the volvo 850, n she was showing me all theese blueprits n stuff on it n describing the shapes, and i said all that i thought about VOLVO, (that means bad things), especially the 850, preeeetty insulting words, while looking back at it, and it turns out, SHE was the main designer of the ###### thing.....
