  1. Future is long gone. I read the label on this stuff and this is what I use. Lundmark Acrylic Floor Wax, 32-Ounce, 3203F32-6 - Walmart.com Good luck Mike
  2. Peter, If you are interested in How the pyramids were built there is a lot of information available. There was this guy Eric Von Donegan who wrote the book Chariot of the Gods (published Jan 1, 1968) who wrote that Aliens built the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge , and other ancient wonders. I read it and was fascinated by it. I also went to hear him speak at a local college. What a bunch of B.S. Thanks for the great conversation. I am going back to build my cars. I have spoken ( Kuilil from the series Mandalorian) Mike

  4. I am sure decals can be sent in an envelope. Do you think that the decimal between the 6 and 4 is missing? Mike Send Now: Parcel, letter or letterbox parcel | PostNL
  5. I agree with the evolution of technology, but it takes the human brain to advance technology and inventions. My point is: Why the ancients could not develop modern technology. The Polio Vaccine was invented in 1952 what took so long? Thank you for your comments. Mike
  6. This is a very interesting conversation. The brain is full of mysteries. Here is another one for evolution deniers. If there is no such thing as evolution, why is it that the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans could not invent a Jet Airplane? Obviously, the brain does evolve. Mike
  7. Why can't we see a red Coke can, blue sky, green trees, in a black and white photos? Mike
  8. Why a Coke can? There are a lot of things that are red. I don't even drink Coke. Mike
  9. I believe that the Orange Crate kit has a Latham Supercharger. I think that someone here built this model. Mike
  10. Someone here uses this technique. I make a "SLOP Mold" using Silly Putty. Press it against the emblem or script and I fill it with JB Epoxy. I leave it cure for at least 2 days so it gets rock hard Then trim it and sand it as best I can.Then spray it with the body color And then using a toothpick and Molotow Chrome I pick out the lettering. I have made heads and valve covers using this Silly Putty "Slop Mold" technique. Whats nice there is enough Silly Putty in the egg to make 3 o4 of these "Slop Mold " parts at one time. Mike
  11. The top the part can get gunked up with dried paint. When you press the trigger the air flow valve is stuck and the air does not flow the way it is suppose too. Mike V-174 | Making Quality Spray Paint Equipment in the US Since 1904 (paascheairbrush.com)
  12. The best pictures I have ever taken was with my Nikon film camera.
  13. Looking for info on the Latham Supercharger for an upcoming project that I am starting. I came across this LONG !!! article at the Hemmings site. Mike History of the Short-Lived but innovative Latham Axial Flow Supercharger - Hemmings
  14. I bought the same Nikon when it was new for about $400. I have pictures of Drag Cars doing wheelies, Nascar, and Indy cars. My favorite I caught the exhaust of a Top Fuel Dragster puffing out of each individual header pipe. All my pictures were taken from the stands. I still have some it where and I am gonna dig it out and use it Mike
  15. This is a long but very informative article. My family lived in the Grand and Spaulding neighborhood. My dad and brother worked at Mr.Norms. We would go to local Drag Strips to see these great races. Mike The Serious Business of the Funny Car Engine Wars (msn.com)
