Very nice! Great tip

Can you snap a pic of your painted engine? It's true that a picture is with a 1000 words. Odd things when I see a picture of something that I really like I can only form one word WOW! He-He-He

No you got it right we cut down the window and laid it back just like you said. I don't remember much about the doors. My mind is fuzzy on a lot things I think I got sometimers disease

I think the monogram 70 road runner has plain steelies and dog dish hubby caps? I dig it out in the morning to verify.

If I want to stay in the bedroom and not on the couch. I have to stay away from SMS. Since I know she doesn't read this I just say I'm taking her son to the slot car track on the weekends. She doesn't know that the track is at SMS he-he-heeeee

Sorry about that I'm not a ford guy I just know a bunch of us are helping a guy in our club on a ford I think I got a couple pics around here somewhere here we go sorry they are dark but hank doesn't have alot of light in there. Teach me oh wise ones. I want to learn. I remember hank talking about the lines on the cowl something like you can tell different years that way. The sad thing is us 4 guys did that probably 8-10 years ago. It hasn't been touched since. That's a Olds rocket under the cover and he has a real choice paige radiator to go in front. Feel free to knock my automotive credit down a few pegs for my foul up. I thought I knew what he had. Now if it was a dodge plymouth chrysler products I know most of my stuff I think. I learn new stuff everyday. But thanks for the info on kits so far.

I know this is going one of those questions that has many answers and all of them based on personal opinion. Believe me or not I have never built a model of a model (that sounds wierd) T. or A. But I helped a lot on a build of a real 29T roadster not a phoney fiberglass one all 70+ yr old metal. That was a fellow club member's. Of the kit that are on hobby shop shelves now which should I avoid? What are the better kits out there? Which kits are easier to modify? Thank you for any info you have

I'll be watching my hobby shops closely!

Lee your the reason I went home empty handed last night. Well not empty handed but I didn't have the Olds I went there for . The model guy there says that both orders so far have sold out in less then 48hrs. Revell has a hit on their hands I think.

Ok I was lurking on revells website this morning and saw it is coming out this month it may be shipping as I write this for all I know. Anybody built this car when it came out before? I see it has a whole 48 parts. I assume it is curbside model. Would that be a correct guess?

Not sure if this is the right place for this topic. I was at hub hobby today and all month their models are 20% off. Because it's national modelers month or something like that.

If any of you have a mini miter box like I do. Here are a couple ideas to help. I didn't like the fact if I was cutting long narrow pieces of styrene they would wiggle back and forth with my blade. So I just slapped down some double sided sticky tape and fixed it's wagon good. The next thing I did was took my ruler and lined it up with the center line. Then with a black fine felt tip marker i marked off the milimeters in both directions. That way I can add or subtract the needed mm. depending on which way my 45° cut is going. Some of you may of figured these tricks out yourself. But since I have used so many of the 2,183 tips I thought I should finally add something

Yes they do but I think my gal would look at me funny if I grabbed a pair of her panty hose. But thinking about it they probably work better.

I know what you mean the whole time I was writing this post it just sounded so wrong.

Come on guys get your minds out of the gutter. I did a search on this topic and found nothing. This is a tip to get a few extra miles out of your stripper. I hated the fact after using my strippers a couple of times it was hard to tell the parts from flakes of paint/chrome that was suspended in the media. Supplies 1. Empty milk jug or something similar to drain into. 2. A funnel (I used a 2 liter bottle with the bottom cut off.) 3. Coffee filters. 4. Time First off I put the funnel in the milk jug then a filter in the funnel. I then poured the stripper from it's holding container into the coffee filter/funnel until it was 3/4 full then let it strain. After awhile the filter will get plugged. So carefully pick-up the filter just high enough to place a new filter underneath then pour the remainingliquid from the old filter into the new. Repeat as necessary.

The little details like the valve cover racer are what always put your models in a class all their own. Super build very very clean

This is neat to see I just started a re-issue of the double whammy stude and I may have to steal some of your ideas

Thank you all for looking

Doobie are you one of the brothers? Lol sorry I couldn't resist

Y eah! It's finally done!! My first model in over 10 yrs funny thing I didn't build during that time but I kept collecting model. I have all of you great folks to thanks for how it came out. Especially JOKER and DISABLED MODELER (mark orr) this is my nicest model I've built so far. I know it isn't a teriffic job like most of you guy's models. It is pretty much stock. I had two huge gaps where the hood and cowl met so I filled them with plastic and putty I then just added plug wires embossing powder for carpet then raided my spare parts box for a stick shift MARK sent me a steering wheel. I also opened the rear door and my finger with an exacto blade. I made a dummy spot light and dome light BMF and called it done for now lol. Thank you for looking

Always liked the scouts my old man had one when I was I younger the thing was ugly as sin from rust but the thing plowed many a driveway for him and I. Until I hit a half buried axle that a guy chained his dog to and forgot to tell me about. Yours looks a lot nicer then that old thing. I like the wheels and the color

Do you have a number, address or website for airtrax?

Always liked this truck I had neighbor that had one and I always wanted one. Great build btw.

I like it very nice job imo

Very nice
