Mr. Fraud Krause My brother was recruited to work at Mr. Norms He left his other employer with the promise that his family would get health insurance . This was a big deal because his wife was pregnant at the time. Baby was born. Mr. Norm " I never promised you insurance" After he quit my brother contacted Susan Anderson an investigative reporter at WBBM TV Chicago. A TV taped interview was done at my brothers house. Dad, Mom, Sister and me sat in. He explained why he is going on the record. 1 Multiple fake warranty claims were made for customer cars. 2 Used car odometers were turned back. 3 All of his racing transport vehicles had their odometers turned back. 4 Nail in the coffin. Fake warranty claims. Mr. Norms fleet sales customers included Chicago Police, Illinois Secretary of State and various Illinois Municipalities. The investigations by Chrysler and Attorney General of Illinois began shortly began after the interview aired on WBBM TV. This led to the demise of Grand Spaulding Dodge. Mr. Norm was never ever going to own a Chrysler Dealership again or any other auto company. Mike

compound at the beginning?
Mike 1017 replied to youpey's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I use the Don (Youst ?) method. I use one of those polishing kits that starts with 2400 grit through 12,000 grit. Just use hot water and soap. Then primer the car. It should be very smooth. Good luck Mike -

Did Hobby Lobby say if they are gonna get a new line of paints to replace Testors? New Revell stuff ? -

I have been struggling with cutting aluminum tubing. I find saws for cutting everything but metal. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Mike

I use the same method as youpey It has never failed me. Also I pull the tape off within a couple minutes after painting. Because if the paint has fully dried there is a chance of pulling the dried paint off right along with the tape. Good luck Mike

I airbrushed the GTO with Molotov. I even let it dry for a week . It got dulled from handling during photographing and was never really hard. I painted all of these with a brush. Then I put them into my dehydrator . Thinking that if it can cure Testors Enamel rock hard why not Molotov? It worked . Now I don't even need to clear coat them because the Molotov is rock hard. I just gotta do some touch up

Mark Thank you for the info. It worked. There was a discussion at work about unsecured websites . The point was that the Links [not secured] on any website could be infected. Be aware of what you click on. So it just got me wondering about my favorite web site. I also have never had problems here. Mike

Administrators : Why is the web site not secured ? Mike
