Mad skills, man.

I guess he forgot TopFuel and Funny Cars on Nitro.

He forgot about Indycars. Much faster than F1. F1 is quicker, but not faster.

[What's with the U.S.Post office these days?]

I placed an order on Monday from Oregon. It's out for delivery today, Thursday. Pretty good.

[Mitre Box Fix]

Great tip!

[Procon Fan Tip 290 Airbrush]

I've had that problem with mine. You've got to get it REALLY REALLY clean. I do a full disassembly, including the tip, every time I use it.

[Rolex 24hr build session]

Too many subscriptions already. I'll look for someone streaming it on YouTube, hopefully.

All of his bosses hires were such successes.

[Testor's bottle paint going bad; air leaks or why?]

I always clean the bottle and lid well and place a small piece of Press and Seal on the top before replacing the lid.

[What's with the U.S.Post office these days?]

I ordered from a place recently with a usual delivery time of about 5 days. Same order took 10 days this time. It's the Christmas season. The work load is exponentially higher. Delays are going to happen. 

[Neat little item....🧐👍]

My cousins (brothers) own a machine shop and use these to remove metal slivers/splinters from their hands. They each say that the other one needs them for other tasks.

It looks like new episodes air on MavTV. They have episodes dated 2024.

Where can I find MavTV?

[Roadkill is Dead!]

On a related note, is My Classic Car still on and producing episodes?

[Question]

I wouldn’t spray clear over a polished finish.

last week our mail went from being in the box anytime between 9:45 and 11:30 a.m. . Now it's not there until around 6-7:30 P.M. !!!!1

Ours has been at all times during the day. At least it's getting here. It doesn't really matter what time to me.

You can use acrylics pretty much over anything. But you pretty much can't use anything over acrylics. 

I've used Tamiya and Modelmaster clears over Createx and Wicked finishes. I don't know if they qualify as an acrylic. 

[Clever Connections: Joining together to fit as one.]

I use small 0.025 needles.

The deterioration of the USPS is by design. The goal is to privatize it eventually. Mr. Dejoy is the point man for this effort.

[Rodney Dangerfield auto repair class]

I tell ya, that mechanic gets no respect.

[You couldn't make this stuff up...]

I watch some of these now and then. The vegetable oil swap was the best. Some folks just don't bother to think much.

[My spray bomb technique, and why.......]

Sounds identical to my method, if I ever start building again.

[Tamiya polishing compound before clear coat?]

Why not just shoot the clear and polish it? I'd be concerned about putting any paint over a polished part for fear that it would not adhere properly.

Where are you getting your decals?

[Taking a short break.]

Yes, we all suffer loss. That's part of living. I'm so sorry for your loss. Peace.

[How do you hold your engine for wiring?]

Go to Harbor Freight and get one of their small vices. Dark green, rubber covered Jaws, small, cheap (less than $15). I've got two and mounted them to 2x6s. They work great!
