  1. I agree that compressor is fish tank quality. Point Zero has better compressors for sale Professional-Grade Professional-Grade Airbrush Compressors - Point Zero Airbrush
  2. I was at the Mid-America Flexi Fiesta a couple of weeks ago. The racers got 2 motors and 1 set of tires that had to be used on any Flexi Chassis homemade or out of the box. Lap times were 3.40-3.75 seconds. My JK could not even qualify. The chassis is just too heavy. Some racers used Mid- America built chassis with the 2 hand out Eagle motors and tires. They wound up 2nd,3rd and 4th. The guy who built his own chassis won.
  3. Is anybody here racing Flexi Chassis ? Mike
  4. These are AMT 1:32. Not Revell
  5. My wife and I were out antiquing yesterday. I ran across 4 of the Indy Snap un-opened Kits The prices are $15.00-$18.00. Any opinion on these kits? Thanks Mike
  6. Steve, I had no symptoms at all. There is no history of any type of cancer in our family tree. I don't know why a blood test would do more harm than good. There is a possibility of a false positive result. If you want to reach out to Steve aka Slotto with a PM, He may share with you what happen to him at age 45. I do believe in Modern Medicine. Mike
  7. Thanks for the info. I got it at a very reasonable price. I did some checking around for prices. About $50.00 is the average for it. I only got 1 offer for the kit. I am on final assembly on 2 cars now. I might start this MG next. Thanks Mike
  8. I need opinions about this kit. Thanks Mike
  9. Prostate-Specific Antigen
  10. I would let the White Lighting cure for about a month. Then clear coat or use inter coat to protect the paint. Let cure for another month. This will stop the paint from pulling off when you pull off the tape. A dehydrator will cut down curing time to a couple of days. Ask the guys if 2k clear would provide more protection. Good luck Mike
  11. I had a prostatectomy done in April. I went to the doctor Monday to discuss the PSA results. NO CANCER!!! Guys get the PSA blood test done it will save your life. I had no symptoms. BIG shoutout to Steve "Slotto". Thanks for your support. Mike
  12. Jay, I ordered the parts I needed from Revell after I talked to you. They arrived yesterday. One problem though. They sent 1 correct part and 1 wrong part. Both of the glass trees were missing from the Jaquar E-Type kit. I just sent off another request to Revell. I will see what happens. I hope that the other glass tree arrives soon. Thanks Mike
  13. I have a few kits that are perfect for a dumpster fire. Mike
  14. Being a Mecum fan, I wonder what kind of $ it would bring. The trend now is original non-restored cars. Mike
  15. Jay, I am waiting for an E-Mail response for a part request Did Revell send you any kind of response or did the parts just show up one day.? Mike
  16. My dad was a body and fender man for over 50 years. He also owned his own shop. Bondo dust, paint fumes, working with lead, welding fumes, grinding particles and asbestos. One would think that is what led to his death. Not so. It was the 2 pack a day smoking habit. I think that we are all safe. Unless we are pre-disposed to some chemical that will affect our health. Mike
  17. I LUV IT. My 1:1 1971 351 Mach 1 was that same color. Mike
  18. A big problem with Pension plans is that employees will forego pension payment for increase of benefits and pay. Soon the pension payments owed are into the millions. This pension problem is not limited to businesses. Most Cities and States have this enormous problem. Chicago and Illinois are a perfect example. The solution RAISE TAXES. Mike
  19. I first spray the tires with Testors Dullcote. Let dry, apply decals let dry, spray over decals and let dry. Good luck Mike
  20. Viva Las Vegas
  21. He was very entertaining guy. I think the last time that I saw him was on The Blacklist. Mike
  22. Pearls powders are liquid soluble. They are used to be mixed in with paint to achieve the desired pearl effect. Any contact with any type of liquids, glues included will start the pigments to dissolve. There are tons of different colored embossing powder available. Good luck Mike
  23. You can try to use a printer and decal paper to copy them .
  24. That is what makes America great. Freedom of speech.
