Decent manifold for Amt's new stacks
scalemodeler replied to scalemodeler's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks guys I have some good ideas. So.., I guess the next logical question would be, how many of us have used AMT's stacks. I think a new thread is in order here -

scalemodeler replied to scalemodeler's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks Guys............It would be interesting to see if anyone as actually used them. I'll bet we all have packages of them hanging around just waiting for that certain model to come along. -
Thinking about doing a 29 ford street sod with a sbc and a Hilborn or similar top end. anyone know where I might find anything along those lines. I have the new Amt stacks would like to use them on something. I'm not opposed to parting out a kit for an entire engine or just some good stuff to start off with. Thanks Guys!

Bare Metal Foil.

Yea I noticed that too. Now if I can only find a good way to remove it. Used some tonight on a black lacquer paint job. Had a heck of a time getting it off while being gentle with the paint -

We've all seen those car insurance commercials, and having it can be a good thing. But what do you do when your little car crashes?? A couple of nights ago, I was rearranging my model shelf. Well, I grabbed a model that was in a display case, and darn if the case didn't hinge open like a Hippo's jaw!. Out it went and SPLAT! on the concrete floor! My first reaction was...darn it! My second reaction was, stupid, stupid, stupid !!!!!! After walking around in circles for about 10 minutes, I calmed down. OK I thought, it's time for a search and rescue plan... Humm Returning to the accident scene, it was apparent that a Tow truck was needed, this was totaled! Getting the large pieces was easy, the small stuff (which flew everywhere) wasn't going to be so easy. Ah time for my search and rescue plan...... Ran upstairs and asked the wife for a pair of old pantyhose.......yup, pantyhose! What the heck you wonder? I got out my shop vac and pulled the pantyhose over the end of the vac hose. With this method, I was able to suck up most of the carnage, and just pick the pieces off the end. 99.9% recovered! So, now the dilemma, What should I do? Better yet, what would you guys do? 1. Try to rebuild? A few pieces snapped in two. Lots of body work 2. Throw it in the spare parts box and forget about it 3. Look around for a junker/parts kit for salvageable parts 4. Just get another kit and build a new one. Decisions, Decisions I just can't seem to make up my mind!
