  1. I love all of them. What a treat. You've got great range. I particularly delight in the real creative ones. The engineering is inspiring.
  2. Smart lookin' Mopar. It's got kind of a Petty thing goin' on.
  3. To save a little money you can also "recycle" your RTV rubber. Old molds that are no longer used or maybe got botched can be ground up in a meat grinder. The chunky crumbs can then be used as fill with your freshly mixed RTV. When properly gassed to get the air out it settles as smooth as silk and I've never had a bonding, weakening or break-down issue. However I only use the fill on big molds like car bodies. I also recommend using a manual meat grinder because mechanical ones can bind and break, especially cheap ones with plastic augers.
  4. If this build thread interests you but you just don't know where to start looking for something build this is a must, MUST SEE!!!! Intern Movie Cars Database It has hundreds if not thousands of vehicles that have appeared in film or television, regardless of how much screen time. It's not 100-percent complete but it provides small screenshots. Just pick a brand or model, foreign or domestic and view the thumbnails. A very useful tool for the undecided.
  5. Don't know the kid. But the car... what a pleasure to see it in classic Wood Brothers paint scheme and in victory circle at Daytona. What's weird is in my head I still see his car as sort of a Mercury.
  6. http://www.factorydi...mc/MM9-051.html Yikes, price knocked down to $1,295 for a 24-inch model? Wha'd they do, carve it out of baby panda bones? When I did radio, that song was one of two bathroom songs. At a time when most pop songs were 3-1/2 minutes, this one gave you time to hit the head and get back. Ask any DJ of the day and they'll say the same thing. What was the other one? "Freebird"
  7. I don't know your set up, whether you're drilling by hand or machine but when I did it by hand I had similar trouble. I switched to a cordless screwdriver (not drill) with a small chuck. With a steady hand you can hold pretty still while it slowly but confidently and accurately cuts into your distributer. Haven't broken a bit yet either.
  8. I love it Junior. I've been dancing around doing the Cass Clay truck too but not with a diecast. Biggest hangup is I couldn't for the life of me find any reference photos.
  9. I'm exhausted mulling over the awesome detail. I think I need a drink.
