  1. It looks a LOT better fender less.
  2. Spray some straight lacquer thinner on it. That will release the trapped moisture. I painted in the SF bay area, and was a common fix as it was always humid there.
  3. There were worse presidents than "dub". Andrew Johnson put the u.s. in bankruptcy in 1871, Woodrow Wilson was the one to sign the federal reserve and I.R.S into law in 1913.bulls@#$t Johnson robbed Social Security to pay for Viet Nam and his " Great society" I use lower case for u.s, as it denotes the country, not the corporation.
  4. Back in the day it was a status symbol to have dice that your girlfriend made you in Home Ec. Anyone could buy them, the cool guys had girlfriends make them.
  5. I really like what you did on this build, but that front bumper looks like a Ubangi with a plate in his lip!
  6. Wow! i thought I was the only one that thought that kit was ######.
  7. there is another difference in California '57's. Mine is a California built car with the one piece tubing frame. The other frames were channel welded together to form a box. The square tube frames are much cleaner and are highly sought after .
  8. I got a Revelle Chrysler 300 kit from revell at the local ag store(!), for $6.99. When I got it home I found the hemi motor was molded to the frame. Oh well,at least it was cheap.
  9. Komrad Ed, Just put up a fence with razor wire around your modeling table and you'll bre fine. Worked for me.
  10. I can't believe it, the double dragster and chopped "T" coupe.I'm going to go broke!!
  11. I keep my stash In my closet behind my model kits, and smoke it in the bathroom with the fan on. Heh heh heh.
  12. Jerry Reed was acknowledged as one of the "masters of the telecaster" He will be sorely missed.
  13. The original Hot Rod Lincoln was written and sung by Charlie Ryan.
  14. I don't give my bank information to anyone that isn't necessary. If they don't want to accept a money order, screw them.
  15. Be careful with that Variprime,bud. We don't call that stuff Green Death for nothing.Make sure you have a real good respirator and good ventilation.
  16. Must be the season for them. I was in the hospital six weeks ago with one 6mm in size.when the doctor went in to remove it through a stent, he poked a hole in my kidney.After three surgeries he finally got it out. I had that stent in me for six miserable weeks. You can get pure cranberry juice at the health food stores. Its lots better than Cran Grape. I feel for you ,buddy.
  17. On '32-'34 frames you can lower them by putting in a flat front crossmember.also, when I was a kid, there were lots of cars running suicide perches, not just T buckets.
  18. My favorite is the original issue Ala Kart box art. I still have one.
  19. Congrats Clay!! Forget about sleep for the next 6 months, at least!!
  20. Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor! Beautiful job!!!
  21. Dead Skunk by Louden Wainright the 3rd, Race with the devil, 409, and that whole list from Lordairguitar.
  22. When I was just starting out painting cars(mid sixties) we used to warm the synthetic enamel on a hot plate to thin it and shoot it without thinner. it gave an incredible gloss, but was risky. The warmer you make the metal and paint the better, to a point. you don't want the paint drying to fast, as that causes a lot of other problems. If you take some time to experiment, you'll eventually get some great results. good luck.
