High octane

Peeling off? I have BMF that's intact from the early 80's. No clear as I display my models inside and therefore they don't need to be protected from the elements like rain, snow, sleet, hail, etc.

Nice build on that GTX build Chris, as I just love dem Mopars! Will you be at the Du Page show this Sunday in Wheaton, or no?

Did you let the primer dry for a couple of days, or no? I use Tamiya primer and have no problems at all. Tamiya primer is compatible with Testors, Black Gold, Dupli-Color, MCW, and of course Tamiya paints.

You're right about that. I had the battery moved from the front of the car to the trunk, and could feel the difference with that weight relocated.

I never went to any of my high school reunions. Once I graduated from high school I kept on going and never looked back. I don't care what happened to my classmates, or how they got through all these years, or who they married, or how many kids they have, or how big or small a house they have, etc.

I've always liked Mopars as it seems as though there are way less Mopar enthusiasts than say Chevy or Ford guys. Mopars are very different in their own way and the cars are set apart from the Chevys & Fords. I've owned a couple of Mopars and the engines are very stout with a lot of power and the 727 automatics are almost "bulletproof," except when age catches up to them. The Mopar car bodies have their own look compared to the Ford & GM products, especially the cars from the 60's.

Very nice lookin' build on that Model A Coupe Neil, and great color choice also.

I've been "thinnin' the herd" for the last few years and hopefully by next year I'll be where I want to be as far as unbuilt model kits go. Sometimes at least for me its been hard to choose which kits stay and which kits go, as I bought almost all of them with the intention of building them someday. As I get older and see that I'm not crankin' out built kits like I had hope to, I also see that my expectations shouldn't be so high as far as finishing X number of model kits in the future either.

Nice build on that engine. It's been since 1999 since I've been on a cog railway up to Pikes Peak.

Hmmm, I've driven Chevy trucks for almost 40 years and they've been pretty reliable to me. I needed a change and last year bought an F-150, and so far I'm likin' the change. While GMC advertises their trucks as "professional grade" that's a joke as I've worked on many construction jobs and have seen hundreds of trucks belonging to the workers or contractors. Most all of them were either Ford or Chevy trucks.

I also have a swap meet comin' up this weekend, and while I don't really need anything, who knows? Maybe I'll even get rid of a couple of JoHan kits that day also.

Frustrated? When someone picks up the bill, it's their choice and not anyone else s. Nice job on that build John, as I just love dem Mopars!

I'm with you Erik, as while I didn't really care for 1/24th scale several years ago, today it makes no difference to me. I have some Danbury and Franklin Mint cars that are in 1/24th scale and they are beautiful. I'm currently workin' on a 1/24 scale kit, and it looks like there'll be more of my builds in that scale in the future.

Over the years I let my painted bodies "air dry" and it works great. No space needed for a dehydrator, no cost of a dehydrator, nothing to plug in, no temperature settings, etc. Yeah you might say I'm a bit "old fashioned," but it works for me.

I've seen them at the Jewel stores 'bout this time for the last few years now.

Thanks for the reminder, as I'll have to get some.

Don't let our current weather conditions fool you, as we have plenty of time to get "socked" with that white stuff and you'll see that the rodent knows what he's talkin' 'bout.

Back in '03 I "flat out" told a dealer/salesperson that he or I don't know anybody who drives in some of those places in those TV commercials. Where I live they use "snow plows" to move the snow and allow traffic to flow.

For those livin' in southern Wisconsin and care to venture into Illinois, there is a great model car swap meet this Sunday the 26th at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton, Illinois from 9 a.m. 'til 2 p.m. and the admission is still only 5 bucks.

I use the FLEX-I-FILE FLEX-PAD sanding sticks all the time and like them a lot.

Did you check with MCW Resins?

I checked out the latest issue at our club meeting yesterday as someone brought it along with them. Great stuff and I should pick up a copy at my LHS.
