  1. "It's my company, but I don't have access to that data and have no idea what happened..." Bankman-Fried Really?
  2. Something people tend to forget when gluing anything to any painted surface...whatever you glue to any painted surface will only be adhered as well to the surface as the paint is. Glue doesn't somehow magically stick to what's under the paint. It sticks to the paint, period. So if your paint adhesion isn't the best...
  3. Native English speaking American news-readers who don't know everyday words like "basin". Really?
  4. Very nice ship models...but there is a forum area specifically for non-car models... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/forum/69-all-the-rest-motorcycles-aviation-military-sci-fi-figures/
  5. buffalo-hide knickers
  6. Really, IMHO the best thing to do is pre-fit, drill, and pin any parts that are going to have to be attached to a painted surface...prior to painting. More effort, but no BS on the back end, as you can use a white PVA glue that won't harm your paint to hold the pins in pre-drilled holes at final assembly.
  7. Parts falling off your vehicle while you're driving can be disconcerting.
  8. Towards a better educated, more rational, better informed, and more involved populace is not, sadly, the direction we're moving.
  9. Next Secretary of Transportation
  10. Forms and paperwork for aircraft mods can weigh as much as the airplane.
  11. It came with an optional Chebby engine and custom chrome hubcaps. I don't recall any extra tires but I could be wrong,
  12. Invested time and effort in work you love can yield both financial and emotional rewards.
  13. Days with needles stuck in your eyes seem to drag on forever.
  14. 1970s was prior to the age of simps, social-media influencers showing men how to use makeup, and girls who sell their bathwater.
  15. Job performance isn't really too much of a criteria for remaining employed these days, as far as I can tell.
  16. Make mine Limburger vindaloo with a side of durian.
  17. Bring it. The sooner the better.
  18. Automotive V8 cooling systems typically use the pump to draw cooler water from the bottom of the radiator, push it through the block from the front, where it then finds its way through the heads, and returns to the radiator through the thermostat and top hose. Straightliner59's hose routing appears to be correct for this kit pump, though it may be difficult to understand fully by someone not well-versed in engine cooling. The large lower connection of the kit crank-driven pump would go to the lower radiator. The two smaller connections are output, and would go to either side of the block where a stock water pump would normally bolt on. Return hoses from the head faces, possibly connected to fittings installed at freeze-plug locations, are hot water and would go to the top of the radiator.
  19. Look again. The water pump in question here is specifically intended for the optional Chrysler Hemi supercharged engine, and has absolutely no relation to the Studebaker powerplant.
