  1. Not sure what type of product you're designing this around , but from your drawing it would look as if it would be some type of fluid that you didn't want to restrict the flow where the additional piping inters. You could take an idea that is used in household plumbing. If you where to make a "break" just up stream of the second inlet that would allow you to assemble this type of manifold with the distance between the inlets adjustable by simply connecting straight pieces of pipe with fittings designed to aid the flow.
  2. I was going to suggest a glass container be used. As Michael Smith mentioned the plastic is a little fragile on most containers that are air tight. With a screw type lid you would have a better chance of storing the paint for future use or touch up on the model you are working on.
  3. When you said that the engine was all chromed I thought of the Ford big block from AMT's '32 Vicky. Looking at the valve covers they seem rather narrow to be the Ford engine but the intake manifold does resemble the Ford intake. Maybe with a little more information such as the exhaust port configuration and the location of the oil filter or oil pan sump location and details about the water pump and fuel pump might make it easier to identify.
  4. Beautiful, clean builds.
  5. I'm with you on this. Going by the model shop today, I'll let you know if I find any. I know I'm not in your area, or country for that matter but if it's out here there is a good chance that it will be out elsewhere soon.
  6. Great looking builds. I like the '32 with a Hemi engine.
  7. Great looking build, outstanding paint job.
  8. Beautiful builds. I like the roadster and the Ford F-100 nice stock build.
  9. They both are beautiful builds. I remember watching your build on the '55 Bel Air, it is just perfect.
  10. Didn't even know it existed but there are a great number of possibilities with this. What do you plan for the rebuild ?
  11. Perfect '50s look.
  12. These are fantastic builds. I followed them both during construction and they are both unbelievable.
  13. Beautiful builds. Hard to pick favorites, but the early Plymouth and the Super Bee are the most appealing to me.

    My 2016

    Very productive year with some very nice builds. I agree, the '49 Ford has always been a great model, and 1:1 also.
  15. Looks like an interesting project. Unless you are 100% sold on the front wheels/tires, they look a little disproportionately large compared to the rear tires.
  16. This will be interesting. Are using the I beam axle in the photo to make a gasser ?
  17. Nasty dirty old work truck. Looks perfect.
  18. That turned out perfect. I have had one of these in the stash for years and every time I look at it I give up.
  19. They are all beautiful builds. Hope you and yours a great 2017 also.
  20. Great looking builds for the year. They are each special in their own way.
  21. Great looking build.
  22. Beautiful build, I like how you have setting on the green. Was that body hard to work with? I have thought of using one of their bodies for a build.
  23. Turned out beautiful, very accurate looking.
  24. Great looking build. I like the color, perfect for the era.
  25. I like the color a lot. Unusual to have candy red over a green base. Usually you see candy red over silver or gold base. Nice build.
