Glad it worked out for you. I did send them a pic of the original AMT decal sheet I wanted replicated with rulers placed alongside and under the picture for size reference, but since the picture belonged to another member here, it was all I could do. I have some time off coming up soon, so maybe I'll see if they respond better to phone calls than they do to email.

Huh, wonder why I couldn't find them. Nonetheless,

Seems like one of our members had it at one time, but now I don't see it. Cragar Super Slot

I'm considering buying some of these for an upcoming project, and am especially intrigued by the the sets that offer a number of different wheel widths. Having never worked with resin or 3D-printed items, I'd like your best recommendations for painting them to look just like they originally came from American Racing wheels in the '70s. Initial thought: prime (?), spray with chrome, polished aluminum or stainless steel, then paint the spaces between the spokes, the recessed center, and the center cap.

I'm amazed by the number of people who ostensibly made it through the K-12 process but can't make a proper plural version of a word. The most common error I see is using an apostrophe before the "s", making it look like a possessive. (Ex: bike's) Even more mystifying is that they don't do this with every plural, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to how they decide. If I had to guess, I'd say they saw others write that way on the internet and assumed it was correct.

They responded yesterday, well before I was shown how to access their search mechanism. I will be following up since they definitely offer it in lacquer.

Tada! That actually worked, but it leads to another mystery. The main reason I was trying so hard to access MCW's listings was because my Google search for MCW Burple enamel only came up with one listing: a Pennsylvania hobby store that had carried it at one time (currently out) under MCW P/N 2158E. In MCW's nomenclature, E means it's an enamel. I then emailed MCW directly asking if 2158E was still a valid item and received a brief answer the next day assuring me that it was. Tonight, I tried 2158E in the search line but received a message saying there were no matches for it. I then tried "Burple" and received two matches: 2158 & 2160, both lacquers, which I'm not interested in using. If nothing else, thanks for helping me find the search protocol. And if you have any links to enamel "Burple" paint, please let me know.

Currently at work but the PC runs Win10 and Chrome. The phone we tried the other day was an Android (Samsung). I just tried it on my iPhone and it looks just like on my PC. I tried to do a screen print to show you guys (had to Google how) but I can’t save the image. I’ll try that again later.

No idea what's going on. I tried all the options in the "hamburger" to see if I could get the screen options you guys are posting, but no luck.

Wonder why I can't see it. (I'm using a PC). On the far left of the top of the page there's a "hamburger" with no helpful options for this search. In the middle, I see their phone number, and to the far right, a shopping cart. I tried to find anything "hidden" by slowly running the cursor over the whole upper top, but nothing. A friend tried to help me with this last Tuesday using his phone, and he came up empty as well.

Really like how this turned out, especially the color scheme. Would you mind sharing which paints (Ex: Dupli-Color #1619) you used?

I've seen and heard a lot of good things about MCW enamels and I wanted to see if they have a couple paint colors I'd like to use in the future, but I can't seem to find a search bar on their site, and I don't want to scroll through each auto mfr's listings. Did I miss something obvious? TIA for all helpful replies.

It's weird, I've heard a lot of good things about this stuff, but a basic Google search will bring up tons of replies regarding how poorly it shoots (even with a .5 needle), occasional "rubbery" finish, and the difficulty of cleaning your airbrush after use (common amongst acrylics I'm told). I want to like it because they offer it in +/- 10 "colors", including "metal". Thanks for your response.

No offense to anyone who uses them but spare me any references to rattle can primers. I'm only interested in primers designed to be airbrushed. Along with your listing, tell me briefly why you like it best.

Love this shade of red. Can you tell me exactly what it is? (Ex: Model Master #1619).

I found you some at a better price https://tinyurl.com/2nkadwm9

For most of you, yes. Me and SpeedAndViolence would like to find out, but his situation is even worse than mine and doesn’t look like it’s going to be resolved anytime soon. If you don’t want my business just tell me and I’ll move on.

Thanks, guys! Do I want a half-round or…?

I'm not on Facebook and would prefer not to join up.

Wanting to add a vinyl roof to a '67 442, but don't know which strip would most correctly match the GM trim best. Would like the actual p/n as part of your reply.

I followed his original instructions asking for an email address, then never heard anything again. I still have all the attempts at getting this process started in Outlook. Assuming he ever gets back to me, does he accept regular credit cars for payment? I got rid of Paypal years ago.

My latest: Had two separate eBay orders arrive at a central hub at the far end of the state. Both showed making it to the next two checkpoints simultaneously before arriving at my local post office. Both went out early in the next morning, but only one was delivered at the regular time. Several hours later, a USPS Jeep was out making other deliveries in our neighborhood, so technically they made it the same day, but given the size of this town I still don't understand how that happens.

Three votes for STS. Interesting. Wonder what I did wrong. Using the board's advice, I contacted them months ago about replicating the decals from an original AMT Mach Won funny car kit. I discovered that one of our members had the complete decal sheet, so I asked him to send me a picture of it along with a ruler on the side and bottom to provide measurements. Once received, I sent it to Terry and asked if they could do it. He said they could and gave me the costs per sheet and shipping charges. He said we could proceed if I replied with an email address, which I did, as well as brief instructions to start as soon as possible. Since then, nothing. Several emails sent, none answered. I may just go with the Dutch guy.

Dug my old toolbox out of storage to see what was still in it after many shared projects and a couple moves over the years and was pleased to see that all the essentials were still there, as well as this no-name 1/2" drive socket wrench. Couldn't help but notice that there was a socket still on it, but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to take it off. Most wrenches like this have a release button on the back, but this just has the selector lever, which doesn't push in. Apparently I couldn't figure out how to remove it last time I used it either. Note to self: buy a better quality wrench.

Another mini gem! Question: how did you do the wire mesh wheel centers?
