392 Hemi Injection setup?
mnwildpunk replied to cooltoys1's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I think reiable resin makes a set-up like that for hemi idk if it's for the 392 or not -
I bought the revell 79 camaro and when I looked at the instructions for the race version I had a big laugh. Like some guy is going to run a blown 350 threw a stock exhaust with a cat converter. I know a lot of hours use solder for headers and pipes. I priced some the other day and it's not cheap! A guy like me who learns through mistakes would probably waste a lot of it until I got it right. It looks like an expensive learning curve. Do you guys use anything else for exhausts? Something a bit cheaper? For those guys who use solder am I right in guessing you use the rosin core stuff? does the acid core have a negative effect on models after time?

I don't know who in their right mind would of bought one. But that's just me

I know I was just commenting on the era of wild decals colors and such

Don't forget the wonderful "mod tops"

The pictures make my heart ache when I see this destruction. I think of all the things some families lost including loved ones. But on the other hand I am also thankful for all of those who were spared major damage. Like others said my minnesota home doesn't look so bad now.

exactly how I was feeling:D after you guys mentioned the twister package I found this http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1970-1976-plymouth-duster9.htm I don't why it didn't pop up when I was looking the first 20 times

The instructions are not really clear do the long hinges go on the bottom? Anybody have suggestions or hints on ways to mount these easier?

Well thank you for taking care of that headache. You guys. I learned a lot mostly that there are a lot of cars that have been reworked out there now a days

thanks 72 coronet that answered all my questions except the hood issue. From that it seems like everything except the flat hood was dealer or aftermarket and has no reason to it?

No problem buddy

Google is what led me to these questions lol

Parts ID help needed *some new pics

Those seats look like the 65 el' camino seats for stock and drag versions but they probably came in other kits too. I agree it looks like a BBC. To me also. But I also think I see an E-body console -
Vinyl top separation trim..
mnwildpunk replied to Scuderia's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
It varies on 1:1 cars. I've seen them as narrow as 1/2" and fairly wide on landau tops like what your trying to do. I wish I could be more help but I'm sure someone will pop up with a better answer. I think you'd be safe using .80mm half round up to a 1.25mm half round -
I've been researching 1971 plymouth dusters for a future AMT build and I now have more questions then answers. I've seen the 340 painted both blue and orange. I'm assuming blue is the correct color? What is a testor or tamiya color that is close to the blue or orange? Next I can't seem to find the correct answer for which 340 engine option package would use the dual scoop hood or just a flat hood. Then there seems to be yet a third style of hood that had a centered dual snorkel scoop. Can someone give me some answers please? Thanks

I use the ips communities app i'm not sure if that's same as the one your talking about

What Do You Think was the Worst Car Made?
mnwildpunk replied to slusher's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ooooooh yes I forgot about the wonderful 4-6-8 the car that my folks had that used more gas running on 4 cylinders then when it was running on 8 or so my dad claimed. I just remember there was always something wrong with it. Not to mention that it couldn't get out of it's own way. -

I have an uncle who is 72 I went up to visit him stopped by his house and his gf said he was at his warehouse. I go to his warehouse foolishly looking for him on the ground but found him up 30+ feet in the air walking a beam and welding on rafter. I look at him and can't imagine doing things like that at 72!!!!! -
Very nice you got talent!

I want "so and so" to send me a PM...
mnwildpunk replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yes I agree with the post'er these adims are mean down right mean when they are polite and ask us nicely to do something different so we don't look like an idiot. It's almost vicious how they ask "please post correctly" -
What Do You Think was the Worst Car Made?
mnwildpunk replied to slusher's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My list of bad bad cars #5 chevy sprint #4 dodge onmi #3 ford ranger 80's I owned one later model that was much better #2 merkur x4ti or whatever it was called it came with an factory alarm but if you set it it would drain the battery in seconds the whole car was a nightmare And the #1 goes to the renault alliance three gaskets in 1 yr. It leaked oil so bad it gave B.P. and the exxon valdez a run for their money. It somehow granaded a 4 inch hole on tranny case. I took it the junk yard because no way would be comfortable selling it to someone -

life's been good to me so far. I am more in tune with ringo star. No no no no I don't "sniff" anymore. I'm tired of waking up on the floor. I still have an adult beverage once and awhile except for saturday my last adult beverage was St. patrick's day the other stuff it's been quite a long time since I touched those kind things. -
So this last week I heard there was a band I really liked playing downtown. So I got a couple tickets for The English Beat and I mentioned I was going to a friend and he said he wanted to go. I grab a ticket for him. So saturday night comes around and we all meet up. Mid way through the show I ask, my buddy adam(22) how he is liking the show and like a slap in the face he replies "i like this old music". Oh boy did that hurt. But no it didn't end there. After a few adult beverages and being up til 3 am . I woke up this morning realizing I can't do stuff like that anymore without paying the piper so to speak. Now I threw off my whole schedule and I'm wide awake at 1am with appointments to go to in 5 hours. I finally know I'm not a teenager any more.
