  2. You can also get channeled styrene rod and that way you get the edge or a post and then chrome it'
  3. I too want the 1:24 kit . When I was at Shelby America I bought a 1:18 diecast Cobra Daytona for $79.00. I am satisfied with it. One day I hope to build one Mike .
  4. I use to own a 1971 Mach 1 . I have built the Amt/Ertl Boss 351. My only gripe is the engines. The kit has a lot of custom and speed parts. I bought the corrected Mach 1 front end from Missing Link and decals from Firebird. It turned out great. I'll buy one and hope for the best. Mike
  5. I luv watching the old monster movies. My son and I used to watch a Godzilla movie almost every weekend. All the old black and white Monster and Sci fi movies had Kool special effects and great dioramas . Don't want Hi jak Godzilla. My favorite is Flash Gordan. Strings attached to the space ship to make them fly and land ,sparklers, for engines, and Roman Candles for missiles Gotta Luv IT. Lots of answer on Google
  6. Being a MACHO MAN I decided to go with with the local anesthesia . I swear sparks, smoke, and pieces of bone flew out of my mouth. The oral surgeon put his knee on my chest to pull out one of them and used some sort of drill saw on the others. I was exhausted when he finished. I didn't have pain during the procedure but it was horrible when the anesthesia wore off. I can still see everything happening like it was 5 minutes ago. Moral of the story: opt for the Knock out gas. Mike Was this recent?

  10. My wife and I both work full time jobs. I am not gonna spend 4 -5 hours working on my lawn. We have been using Spring Green for over 10 years now. Everything was Ok until this summers heat wave. We thought some of the grass did not recover. Then the dead grass started dyeing fast. We called Spring Green to come out and tell us what happened. GRUBBS !!!!! Spring Green "Our guy should have caught this". "We apologize " We are gonna spray for GRUBBS!!!! , aerate, and seed for free. I don't know how much watering grass seed cost or the cost of sod and watering. Needless to say we are not very happy. Mike

  21. You can try to tape something that is 1/64 or 1/32 between 2 Exacto blades. Tape the blades together and then cut your own strips. I never needed an exact size but this is how I make fine line tape. Mike
