Here is a good instruction blooper for you. Testors Lincoln Mint collection Charger Daytona RT In this step, notice the pin locators on the upper block portion in relation to the front cover. The very next step, notice the pin locators again. In the interior, look at the vent on the rear of the console, shows it on the topside But in the next photo, it shows it on the bottom. Guess it lost something in the translation. LOL

I always tell my wife, that it takes sometimes 2 or 3 kits, just to make 1 good one. And she believes me. Sometimes.

I want to thank Paul and Mike for making it out to the display. Was great to get to see the faces of the people who talk on here. Hope you both got some deals while here also. I know I did.

We have the Lizard Company, and my recently insured and licensed driving daughter had an accident. The claims people, came to the scene, and handled everything, from towing, to getting her home safely. The car was repaired to better condition than it was, before the accident. The only out of pocket expenses, was the deductable. We had a rental car, for the time it was being repaired. I was expecting the premium to rise, but in fact, it had dropped a few dollars. They have accident forgiveness policies. And I could not be more happy with them. I had more problems in the past with Allstate and State Farm because of the car, being a 1985 Camaro. They see the Camaro and doubled the rate, even though this car is a 4 banger, all show and no go.

Mike, Please introduce yourself to us at the booth, My name is Jeff, and I am the secretary/webmaster. Hope to meet you there.

Thank-you Paul, for helping us out. There is a $6 at the door, but there is free parking.

The North Coast Automotive Modelers will be setting up a display. No contest at this event. Just a bunch of us showing off our work. This is along with the John Carlise Toy show. There will be vendors there selling kits and some pieces. It is at the Summit County fairgrounds on Howe Rd, Just east of Route 8. Doors open at 9am

You could also use Silly Putty, but make sure it is the name brand.

Paint the entire floor the lighter color, then paint the darker color, then sand to reveal the lighter color, leaving the dark color in the recesses. Use 800 or 1000 grit paper for the sanding.

Thrift Stores, second hand stores, Salvation Army stores. You can find them there if you look around. Bought one for $5 at a thrift store.

The first reaction I had was this bites. But after reviewing the procedure. You still have to make the chase. 16 drivers that are in the chase, for the first 3 races, must win to stay in. The winners of those 3 races are locked into the next round, along with the top points racers to complete the field and 3 more races, with a points reset. Then another round of eliminations. Looks like this will create more "rubbin" to assure a shot at the next round. That is what Nascar is trying to do to attract more fans, If this format had been in place last year, Matt Kenseth would have been the champ. I would really like to see it go back to the most wins=champ, like the days of Petty, Yarbourgh, and Pearson. Still going to watch because any format would be better than no racing at all.

Have you tried the manufacturers websites? http://www.recaro.com/ http://www.corbeau.com/

Depends on what they were glued with. If Testors tube, you can put the engine in a plastic bag and into the freezer overnight. It makes the glue brittle. then try to separate with an edge of an xacto blade. If super glue, try alcohol. Acetone is the preferred chemical, but may damage plastic.

You can airbrush these paints also, BUT you must use a flow enhancer,and to allow for the flow to remain glossy, a retarder(sold separately) I have purchased both of these in a craft store.(normally they are by the Creatix brand paints) but work with most of the other paints in the acrylic line.

Also look in the train section of your hobby store, as they have many small pins for track hold downs.

Ted is correct. The SS is the 6th generation Nascar Sprint cup series car. It has not been released as a model(as of yet) I have been collecting Nascar models and am waiting to have the 6th Gen car.

I guess that when you start your "own" forum, you can have people post the way you want to, but until then, it is their way. Accept it. The Fotki and Photobucket are the only WIDELY accepted form of photo-sharing at the current time.

Here is a link that was posted before of a PBS broadcast about old gas stations and was very informative as well . http://video.wpt.org/video/2328721025/

If you are interested in creating factory stock, find reference photos, but If you are creating a vision, custom car, there is nothing stopping you from painting as you want. This car was a good example of painting a custom chassis/body color combination. I wanted the underside to "POP" so I painted the white chassis to stand out, rather to blend into the background.

In Ohio, you have to obtain a Historical Vehicle plate, then you may have your Ohio year specific plate registered to that vehicle.

Trust your car, to the man with the star.....Texaco

That was the only thing I was not sure, but I thought that you would need a 12 volt power supply for the bilge pump. Looks like in the photos by the author above, that he converted a computer power supply for that purpose.

You may want to consider getting an Optivisor. Has a light built in, and magnification lenses. I don't know of any magnifying lamps without a cord. http://www.micromark.com/SearchResult.aspx?deptIdFilter=0&searchPhrase=visor the link above takes you to Micro Mark, but these can be purchased in other places as well as craft stores. Just a reference of what I am talking about. I found an OTT Light at a craft store for $29, because it had the flourescent bulb, instead of the new LED equipped models that are now out also, but has no magnifier. Harbor Freight also sells a magnifier that has some alligator clips on it that uses aaa batteries to supply an LED light. The clamps could hold things when painting or gluing as well. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=helping+hand Hope this helps.

Open the hole in the wheel a little.

The metal plate I use is a discarded VCR top. Magnets were from Home Depot, and craft stores. I build alot of roll cages so this helps them remain square.
