  1. Thats cool, and just begging for a proof of insurance traffic stop! lol
  2. Auto pinstripe tape works good as long as you don't allow it to "set", once that happens it will peel the paint off with it! Since i still have it around anyway, I use Oracal 651 sign vinyl and a 3m tape slicer. I can cut a width from 1/32" to 2" as long as i want it. Kinda nice to still have some of the old sign and body shop tools lying around! i;ve never had a residue problem with blue painters tape though Auto pinstripe
  3. If u have a walmart nearby they sell a product called GOOF OFF, yellow spray can or small squeeze bottle, in the house paint section. I use it on 1:1 vehicle to remove vinyl lettering glue. Doesn't hurt the paint, but u may want to test it on some scrap plastic first. Just need a dab on a rag.
  4. ur rite brian, it was 79-80 that had the full h/l doors. 76-80 had the bigger grille. I spoke to soon, as many of these as i've worked on over the yrs I should have known better! another case of bad internet info! lol
  5. 73-77. The 78-79 had the chrome around the parking lights as part of the grille surround.
  6. Bill, Nikola is claiming 600-1000 miles before recharge, with a spare battery on board, but apparently recharge stations are just a concept in someone's head at the moment! You can read the online version at overdrivemag.com And Richard, i cant go a half mile in my town without seeing a cop! 9000 people, 24 city cops, 12 deputies, 2 constables and 5 state troopers, one of which lives next door and writes about 15 tickets a day to stupid drivers! lol
  7. On the electric theme, an article in the new Overdrive says that Nikola already has orders for 8000 class 8 electric semi's, with Fitzgerald Glider Kits contracted to build the first 5000 units, with delivery of the first trucks in 2020. Supposed to put out 1000 hp & 2000 ft lbs of torgue. Ryder will be the contracted maintenance facility. On another note, Texas passed house bill 2205 in May which will allow driverless vehicles on it's highways starting Sept. 1st
  8. good start,i like the two tone, makes me want my 69 back!
  9. Wow, this is one of those moments that make me want to trash everything i have built ! Nice truck !
  10. The socal car was built in conjuction with GM performance engineering. Here is a couple of pics from speedhunters.com I always wanted to build a bracket car that looked like this. love it!
  11. Some nice stuff, but the opening bid doesn't really mean a thing, its that last bid at 10 minutes before the end that sends it off into oblivion! I've followed trucks on govdeals.com that stay at 1000 dollars for days, then jump to 15,0000 just a few minutes before closing. Might be fun to watch though
  12. Man, the engine looks good! Wish i still had that kind of patience and eyesight.
  13. Nice looking rig with just enough added details to pull it off!
  14. Lingenfelter was preparing the molds for these years ago, but this is the only finished pic i've seen
  15. Good luck, hope it all goes well!
  16. What happened to the truck-o-tron monthly updates?
  17. Get what u pay for? Autographics was one of THE best custom paint and accessories mags put out, along with AutoArt mag (and one of the best kept secrets in the business!) i' m not saying ur going to see it happen overnite, but its already getting hard to find printed catalogs, and some of ur trucking and body shop trade mags have already went to online only. Personally, i hope there is always printed mags, but there are things going on now we never thought would happen! our local wm keeps a huge selection of hot rod, pickup, and diesel mags each month thanks to a few people telling the news agency what we want, everything else i can find online.
  18. Same thing happened years ago to me, i bought a 1 yr sub to the new Autographics mag, first yr was fine, so I subscribed for 3 more yrs., got the first 2 (6 a yr), then never got another one. Called the publisher and its like oh, u didnt get the memo, they folded up! Asked about my refund, they tell me they don't do refunds! (and just like MCM it was an very good mag, I miss it) I don't sub to anything now, but in fairness to Gregg, this is the way all mags and catalogs seem to headed, i believe, what with the rising cost of everything and more and more going online, you will not see paper mags for much longer I honestly would not want Gregg"s nightmare with this! But i still like the swooshing sound of pages turning though!
  19. There is another one on homemadetools.com that uses a sawsall with a 6" or so flat length of metal and 2 large hose clamps tack welded to it to do spray cans. simple, but looks like it works
  20. Bill, i didnt see that little flag, but it works for me too
  21. What are u trying to find
  22. Jim, im running google chrome and windows 7. when i open the link these is a box in the right upper corner that ask if i want to translate, when i click yes it goes to english
  23. Super looking car, who cares if it doesn't run! Kinda the way I build a lot of my shelf models, if they can't see it, don't waste it! lol
