  1. Which degreaser? I looked at Sam's website but didn't see any $3 black jug of degreaser. Model is in the freezer now.
  2. I just got a cool builtup for a song, but I'd like to take it apart without breaking it.
  3. Eh. Seven minutes or less. Not bad.
  4. Just 3 more and you'll hit 7,500
  5. Maybe I need to take reading lessons. When Art said "During WWII...", I thought he meant during the war. Jesus Christ, man. Try decaf.
  6. In John Carpenter's "The Thing", there's a scene with with some old Revell model boxes on a shelf in the background.
  7. Yeah, Jesse seems to like a weird riding position for his own bikes.
  8. I took the plunge. I ordered a pair of turbos for a motorcycle project. I got left and right handed. The site says they are not technically correct, but the June 2009 Hot Rod magazine had a cover photo of an engine with mirror-image turbos. It's correct enough for me.
  9. I also have spares if you need any.
  10. I was really surprised when my 64 year old mom told me she voted Her vote was for Jesse James, BTW.
  11. Yeah I'm not wild about all the profanity and I don't really care about his personal life either. The man can build nice bikes, though. I love that curved down tube with holes through it. A much better style element than exhaust stacks in a fuel tank.
  12. Yeah, I know. It's like a soap opera gone haywire, but I do like the old buildoff shows. My vote goes to Jesse James. Like he said- he built a bike that could be ridden. Paul Jr's bike looks wildly impractical; more like an art piece that sits on a shelf. I also think that theme bikes are just silly. Paul Sr's "vehicle" is even more impractical.
  13. Yeah. This board at Aircraft Resource Center http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showforum=202
  14. Yeah I think Moebius is doing great things for the hobby, but I have no interest in a Lone Star big rig or a Hudson Hornet. The upcoming Chrysler 300, on the other hand...I'll get several of those.
  15. Yeah. That looks nice. Where did you get it?
  16. No. We are not obligated to buy a case of Jolly Rodgers or any other silly model just because they issue a bunch of them. There's a reason why Parts Packs have never made a big comeback. It's because limited edition Parts Packs have also been flops.
  17. Get an account with a photo hosting site. I like Fotki, but plenty of people use Photobucket.
  18. A couple of builtups off eBay. Tamiya's 1/6 scale Suzuki GSX1100S Katana and Kawasaki Z 1300 with inline-6 engine.
  19. Have a mold remediation company come out and take a look. Around here, they'll give you an evaluation for free, and they typically work with homeowner's insurance, so if they do need to do some work, the insurance company pays.
  20. looking for some FAT 1/12 tires with tread.
  21. They're molded to the body.

    X Sonic

    It was a show car in the 1950s and '60s. http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=X-Sonic
  23. Rat rods are not welcome at the link I provided.
  24. Check out post #53. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=354057&showall=1 It looks like one is a single-carb manifold with an adapter to have the Latham blow into it. Not sure about the other. Register and ask your question. Friendly folks there. Just don't bring up anything made after 1964. Or EFI. And WHATEVER YOU DO...don't bring up rat rods.
  25. They were used, from furnaces that our guys removed. Free for the taking. No offense, though. I'm sure you were joking.
