  1. I'm looking at this for the second time today. Noticing things I didn't really pick up on before. Your dash is outstanding, foil work is about as good as it gets, and the wheels are a thing of beauty. You really nailed this one, Jason. Out of the park.
  2. Beautiful! I love the color–not the typical red, black or silver. Really, really nice work.
  3. Sorry, you can't have it back!
  4. For What It's Worth, Buffalo Springfield.
  5. All the superdetailing info is available on John Haddock's website for free. Here is a link to the engine detailing manual... http://jrhscalecars.com/Super%20Detail%20Notes-Vol1-Engine.pdf
  6. Very nicely done!
  7. It's amazing how every flaw that you don't notice in "real life" jumps out at you when you look at photos. I see a sink mark on that rear motor mount, just above where that lower oil line comes out, that I completely missed. Oh well... too late now. The good news is that once the engine is installed in the frame and the steering column/steering box are in place, it'll be pretty much completely hidden from view.
  8. Cylinder head installed with intake manifold and auxiliary (scratchbuilt) starter carburetor. Intake manifold is painted with Testors Magnesium Metalizer... Next up... detail the carb, add all the control linkages, install carb and the distributor...
  9. Yeah, I usually stay away from building during the summer. but I was so happy with how my 1/16 scale RR "practice" woody turned out that I decided to get right into building the 1/8 scale "real one."
  10. Cylinder head detail includes push rods, rocker arms, and valve springs...
  11. Here is the right side of the engine so far. You can see what I meant by detailing from the "inside out" here... the missing oil lines are in place, along with various other small details like linkages, valves, etc. All of this "inside" detailing has to be done first, before the intake manifold and carb are installed, because the carb is outboard of all of this detail. I don't even want to go into detail on how much of what you see here has been added, modified, or corrected in one way or another from "stock." The water pump assembly alone had to be completely changed, reworked, rebuilt, and reconfigured to get it to both look correct and fit into place. And that's just the water pump, let alone all the rest you see here. And I'm just getting started with the details on this side. And this is just one side of the engine! Yeah, you can spend some serious time detailing a Pocher engine...
  12. I've been working on the engine for the last several days, There is a lot of missing detail that could be added. If you really went nuts and got totally into it, you could easily spend weeks adding all the details Pocher left off. A few scratchbuilt additions... plug boots, ignition wire looms, vacuum pump, and plug wire loom and bracket that will mount to the right front corner of the cylinder head: Fan belt tensioner:
  13. This week's car is a 1924 Maxwell 25C. Who got it right: sjordan2 otherunicorn peter31a 62rebel customsrus Ace-Garageguy Badluck13 bbsbase
  14. Are you missing something on that right rear fender?
  15. Several years ago there was a problem with the adhesive they used not working very well. That's been fixed. Years ago.
  16. Very nicely done. I like it!
  17. That's news to me. I use it all the time. Been using it for years without any problem. Guess I missed the memo telling us it's "garbage?" Same ebay seller also sells all other varieties of BMF for the same price.

  19. Last time I had to renew my license I was able to do it by mail. No DMV, no lines, no muss, no fuss.
  20. Same exact wheels as I have on my '67 Impala convertible. Great minds think alike!
  21. That's really nice.
  22. Crazy weird setup, first time I've ever seen one. Beautiful work, excellent weathering.
  23. "A breeze crosses the porch, bicycle spokes spin 'round. Jacket's on, I'm out the door; tonight I'm gonna burn this town down"...
  24. "In my shop I don't care if you are carving saints out of olive pits.." Now that's funny!
  25. Remember, don't post any hints or answers here. PM me with year, make, and model. The answer: 1924 Maxwell 25C
