Great Looking build. Love them old boys going at it models.

That is not a drain petcock on the bottom, that is the mechanism that holds the glass jar to the top plate. It is a screw that presses against the glass bowl to the rubber or cork gasket in the top.

Round 2 have purchased Polar Lights molds, so anything is possible

Correct. The surf board had a small engine to power it. Looks like a horizontal drive old school lawn engine.

There was also a small lawn mower looking motor with the Grandpa Munsters casket car and surfboard

I dont have any way to post a pic of it, but when Chevy Chase drives the wagon out the drive, he loses the rear bumper and the license plate is seen

This trick just beat the trick I was using, I would take a circle cutter and cut 2 masks for the outer and inner dimensions, Then just paint between the lines. It does make for good results, but is VERY time consuming, Taking into account that I would have to cut 8 masks for 4 tires.this looks like my tire painting time has been drastically reduced, and thanks for sharing your tip.

Hey Pat, I have a question for ya, What is the Adhesion Promoter that you refer too? Is that a HOK product?

I use embossing powder all the time for my interiors. I only purchase the white powder. I use a white glue, thinned with a little water, brush it on and sprinkle the powder. I let it dry in usually 20 mins, then I can paint the embossing powder with spray and/or brush. Because this is basically a paper product, it absorbs the moisture from the glue and paint adheres to it well.

The bars for the roll cage are too thick for a Smokey car..LOL,AND there would have been like a mile of fuel line wrapped throughout the car. very nice build.

I believe it was the AMC Pacer. Hope to see ya in Kirtland, Ron.

Was really disappointed by the lack of support from the aftermarket companies. Small turnout for the model contest. I did take a third with my Kenworth. The winner was the Willys.
