  2. It seems like a very poor investigation.
  3. Harts parts has this. I have ordered from him nice stuff Mike AMT – Page 4 – Harts Parts Resin
  4. Very interesting. There is no mention of anyone buying from them.
  5. I am in the process of fine tuning my Carrera Evolution set up. You are right about the Carrera GO cars. I can run those cars at full throttle with no traction or crashing problems. Nice Strombecker set up Mike
  6. Thanks for posting this info. It is still creepy.
  7. My wife just returned from Coronado Island. She brought home one of those lifestyles magazines that are in hotel lobbies Here goes the add. Massage Therapy Manual Lymph Node Drainage. Comments Please Mike
  8. I was driving on the Kennedy express way one morning after a snowstorm. I saw this this car that was having a hard time staying in its own lane. Immediately I thought a drunk. I caught up to the car. It had doughnut spare tires on all 4 corners, and they were put on the wrong side facing out. I could not tell who was driving because all the windows were covered with snow. The windshield wipers were not even turned on.
  9. A box full of sewer rats
  10. Plug up all sinks and bathtubs and turn the water on.
  11. IMO. Shelby tried to find the best tranny most suited to the 427 power and torque. Remember that all the GT 40s that competed in their first LeMans race did not even finish because of tranny failures. Mike
  12. These millionaire car collectors just manipulate the auction market just like the stock market. Paying that outrageous money for that Camaro they have created a demand for that type of Camaro and increasing the value of his own collection. I do LUV watching all of the auctions. Mike
  13. It turned great!! Kudos for not giving up. Sometimes I wonder why I torture myself with this hobby. Then the next build turns great. Good Luck Mike
  14. I have a stash of waterslide decal papers that I use. I just use my printer and make a copy of the decals. As far as yellowing goes, I just try to edit the yellow out. During Christmas I spotted an ALPS printer at the UPS store. Not one person could understand me when I explained what I wanted to do. The last nail in the coffin "I don't know what decal paper is. Mike
  15. My biggest complaint is the front and rear bumpers. They just don't fit. I did a test fit prior to building the car. They looked ok and needed some work nothing that I could not fix. Wrong!! I could not get them fit no matter what I tried. The taillights also had problems. Why do they sell kit with so many defects?
  16. Are there any extended warranty replacement plans offered for these batteries.? Mike
  17. I too am confused. What is abteilung 502?
  18. I had the same problem as you. It would not come off with hot water, soap or a toothbrush. Pitched it out into the garbage. Now I use Microscales Micro Mask. Works as advertised Good luck Mike
  19. Could a plain text be used to make a custom decal Make them a 1:25th to fit a 1964 Dodge 330 On the doors Chicago Dodge Dealers. Ph# NA 2-0689 On the quarter panel NHRA Record holder 1964,65,67 Thanks Mike
  20. If I had the money, I would restore that P38 Thanks for the pictures
  21. To me it looks like the tires got swapped around. Too many burn outs on the rears. Then the fronts were swapped out to the rear? Mike
  22. Yesterday I looked at my cars the I primed with Aluminum Plate. They are mostly Drag Cars. I didn't mask off anything and just used decals. I masked off the Impala and 442 so that I could airbrush Molotow Chrome on the moldings and other trim. Mystery solved ? Thanks Mike
  23. The Rainbow in Chicago put on a 24-hour concert which included Genises, Richy Havens, Butterfield Blues Band, and others. The Genises Band were the best. Tickets were $12.00. Mike
