Went to Hobby Lobby and bought a second Paasche H airbrush for shooting clear coat. It cost $100 minus 40% coupon minus a $25 gift from my son and daughter-in-law....total cost $35

I received my, um, scale hardware from Scale Hardware today:

I think I need to go buy an Optivisor now...and some tiny mechanical hands.

[Crazy Ed]

Ooohh! I have that book. I've had it for years! This is the first time I've seen another one. Cool book and you're right I would love to see the others in this series.

Hi Peter. Alas there were only two Collections published.

And if you have allergies I might suggest wearing a Respirator Mask. One Sneese and it's reorder time

Cool stuff but I could never work with that tiny hardware now, maybe 30 years ago. Good luck with them.

[fredo84]

That's what I got ...started but i will strip it....

I don't think the decal would make it ...so if someone has a good set? ...I'm open !

If my research are right it's an IMC Ford GT Prototype kit issue in 1964 if i'm not please correct me !

I was actually looking for bolt heads smaller than .5mm, but that was the smallest I could find. How I'm going to get the nuts threaded onto the bolts is still a mystery.

Micro ratchet wrenches of course. Kidding...just out of curiousity, what's going on the bench for the nuts and bolts?

Scale Hardware sells nut drivers for their scale nuts and bolts, but the smallest size they have is .8mm. I am using these for attaching the K-frame to the frame rails and for leaf spring eye bolts on my '69 Dart project.

I dropped a Franklin on it by the time you add shipping but to get one new still in the cellophane that is about the going rate, it's still the cheapest of the available K100 kits. The heart wants what the heart wants...

This is a great kit and by the time it was made was considered a high detail kit. You're right, this is the 1964 prototipe version.

This how I built it, back in 2004:

I hope the pictures of my model can help you in some way...

If you own a vintage Mopar, one of those and a spare ignition control unit should always reside in the vehicle's glovebox.

It's an ACCEL 150250 Ballast Resistor. What set of wheels will go around it?

[Nick Winter]

Rodney you are correct.

It's an ACCEL 150250 Ballast Resistor. What set of wheels will go around it?

Close, BWD Nascar Performance RU6 Ballast Resistor, got it and a spare for my '69 Fury.

If you own a vintage Mopar, one of those and a spare ignition control unit should always reside in the vehicle's glovebox.

It's not a bad idea.

I was just kidding around, but....

Didn't know there were drivers that small.

*Just checked them out. Pretty cool stuff. Might have to try some of their products out.
