The small block turns 70
Mike 1017 replied to Richard Bartrop's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The 327 was the go-to engine for most Gassers until the 426 Hemi became available. Mike -
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

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

Hobby Lobby 40% off Sale
Mike 1017 replied to nickfzr61's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 -

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

Any “diet” pop (soda) worth trying out there?
Mike 1017 replied to Monty's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
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 -

I learned something new about George Barris and Co.
Mike 1017 replied to Mike 1017's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
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 -

All of that is probably in the interior. -
I learned something new about George Barris and Co.
Mike 1017 posted a topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
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 -

New trigger-style airbrush - suggestions?
Mike 1017 replied to atomicholiday's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You can look at GREX USA. If you buy from them, you're supporting a Model Cars Magazine advertiser. Mike -

Ray's Kits Decals - Caution!
Mike 1017 replied to Joe Lange's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
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 -
Thank you for your comments. Mike

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

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

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
