  1. Here is my arsenal of paint brushes
  2. The 327 was the go-to engine for most Gassers until the 426 Hemi became available. Mike
  3. I use a brush that is the same size as the part that I want to paint. I load up the brush with enough paint too paint the primed part with one stroke. Greg has the same size paint brushes that I use. Just buy the best ones that you can afford. Good Luck Mike
  4. Very nice
  5. Steve, I read on Google that stores that sell Gift Cards have been hacked. They look for Gift Cards that have been activated and still have a balance. Thanks Steve. Mike
  6. I have lived in my house for 17 years. I swear that the Hobby Lobby by my house has been selling the AMT 1968 Shelby GT 500 Mustang for 17 years now. I did buy one 10 years ago. Mike
  7. I would like to trade 1 of these Funny Cars for a 1971 Mustang Funny Car. Mike
  8. I received a couple of Visa Vanella Gift Cards for my birthday. I checked the balances before I tried to use them. A few of the vendors that I have bought from in the past with Gift Cards now, will not accept Gift Cards. I did buy what I needed from other vendors with no problem. Does anyone know why vendors won't take Gift Cards anymore? Mike
  9. I don't know how many cans of real pop you drank a day. Try to limit yourself to 1 or 2 a day. Good luck Mike
  10. Fantastic work I had problems with the grille, headlights, and taillights. Mike
  11. I have used watered down Black Acrylic Paint or Black Panel Liner to accentuate the numbers. Good Luck Mike
  12. I wish that photo was in color. The paint job may have been a masterpiece. I wonder how many race car bodies were by them. My favorite paint job is when Lace is used. Mike
  13. All of that is probably in the interior.
  14. I am reading about Ed Pink and his early years at the Bonniville Salt Flats , and I came across this photo of a Barris built Streamliner. The person in the wheelchair is Chet Herbert the man behind Herbert Cams. He never let Polio stop him. Mike
  15. Very nice build. Have you built any WW1 Bi-Wing Bombers? Mike
  16. Awesome GTO. You can find your answer on Triple Black GTO on Google Mike
  17. You can look at GREX USA. If you buy from them, you're supporting a Model Cars Magazine advertiser. Mike
  18. I use my Google Nest to play Spotify and Pandora shuffles. I use my phone to listen to Audio Books. I also have a stereo receiver, CD player, turntable and 2 Bose 2.2 speakers in my workshop. I have 257 albums to choose from. ROCK and ROOL NEVER DIES!! Mike
  19. I know nothing about the decal printing business, but I do know logistics and inventory control. If it were me, I would keep a number of the products in stock. Keep more of my best sellers in stock. Mike
  20. Thank you for your comments. Mike
  21. Way back when there were only paper checks. There was this scam called Check Kiting. If you played it right you get "Free Money." As long as you use fake ID to open the first bank account. Lots of info on Google. Mike
  22. I would like to trade for the Revell Special Edition 1970 Mach 1, Revell 1971 Boss 351 Talladega Torino Street version, Don Garlits FED or any FED, Early year Ferrari, or any kit you would like to trade. Mike
  23. Jim, could you post some of your cars that you have hand painted? I have had this idea rattling around my brain for a while. Brush paint a car just like I did in the 60's Thanks Mike
  24. You are right about that hood. I tried to adjust it but no luck. I will just display it with the hood off. Thanks for your comment Mike
