Auto World Model Kit Collector’s Club
vypurr59 replied to Jimmy Wilson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
1 of the things that most of you are missing is that, the hobby shops have already lost out on this. They are AUTO WORLD Exclusives and would not be in the hobby shops anyway. You will only be able to get these EXCLUSIVES through Auto World. You would just be able to get them before the General Public can get them. And most will be in LIMITED NUMBERS. -
Auto World Model Kit Collector’s Club
vypurr59 replied to Jimmy Wilson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
From what I understand, this is just a pre-release shipment club. You get that model before it is released to the general public. So the Paddy Wagon will be released in mid December. Details are here http://autoworldcollectorclub.com/ -

Great Job on the tutorial. Looks functional, I might have to build one of these also. -
Restoration Body Dolly

You can scratch build the casters. Thin aluminum for the frame, bent, drill for axle, wheels made from styrene rod. The axle could be made from wire, or actually a pin, with a flat head on one side and filed on the other side to achieve a burr to hold it together. Made casters for an engine stand with this technique. -
Best product to remove corrosion from polished aluminum wheels?
vypurr59 replied to Harry P.'s topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Getting them sandblasted, would completely dull and pit the finish, and bring out flaws in other portions of the Aluminum. Then the real work of completely polishing of the wheels. Just repair the affected area, Buff and clear coat. -
Getting the Desired Amount of Shine

Tom, Thank-you for doing the research and work for us(ME). I think this should be pinned for quick reference. I have recently started again using Future and just not had the time to work with it as much as you have. But it has made my windows clearer. -

Paint Booths & Safe Ventilation?
vypurr59 replied to Synister's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I have a charcoal filtered, paper filtered suction box, purchased from an air filtration company. The paper filter can be replaced by myself, but the charcoal portion has to be serviced by the company. It was designed for the purpose of cleansing the air of paint fumes and is a stand alone unit. I incorporated it into my paint booth. The purchase price at the time I bought it was $50, and the servicing of the charcoal filter is $15 I have it serviced every 6 months. Paper filters are changed every 2 paint jobs.
