Glad to see you finally got the Payhauler you wanted, Blake! I might just have to see if Porky has any more of the Pete cabovers, I have one that needs help!

By the way, like Jim asked, might you trade a few of the multiples? I could always use and extra Super Bee or two to add to the case of them I already have!

Sherline lathe accessories:

Quick Change Toolpost from A2Z CNC

A grooving tool from A.R. Warner that fits in the quick change toolpost:

It has inserts for cutting grooves in 3 widths; .015", .031", and .062". I think .015" would be good for cooling fins on Harley or Indian motorcycle engines. Detailed Corvair engine, anyone? It could make aircraft engines too.

The .031" grooves would be great for this bad boy:

I use toolpost like that everyday at work, not sure I would want to use them during hobby time.

But that's what's great about this hobby to each his own.

The BattleTech aint what I thought it was gonna be, I thought it was gonna be A model of the

This one is made by A2Z CNC. I bought mine from Blue Ridge Machinery & Tools.

If you want a grooving tool, I got mine from Little Machine Shop. Sherline sells a 1/4" shank insert grooving tool, but it only cuts around .030" deep. This tool made by A.R. Warner cuts .250" deep. It has a 3/8" shank, which required a different tool holder. The QCTP will handle the 3/8" shank.

hey zuk are you going to get rid of it? the mecha? if so let me know

Just got back from a local flea market with a factory sealed 1/24 AMT/Ertl Ferrari 250 GT S.W.B from 1989. The box is in pretty good shape save for a small crushed in spot on the top edge. Now, I don't really like classic Italian sports cars that much, so I'll probably end up trading this for something I really want but it was too good of a deal to pass up. Here is a pic I found on the internet of what the kit looks like, mine is in better shape:

I also scored a round wall clock with my absolute favorite '69 Charger R/T ever on it! It's the 1 of 1 Spring Green Metallic '69 426 Hemi 4spd car w/ white interior, body color steel wheels, and poverty caps. It is a stripe delete car and it just has the "R/T" badges on the rear quarter panels. It was restored by Julius Steuer (Restorations by Julius). There was only one other '69 Hemi Charger R/T that was painted in F6 Spring Green metallic (it was an automatic). Here is the real 4spd car:

I will be building a model of this as soon as I get all of the materials & parts.

The front of that Ferrari looks sorta like a '70 Camaro. What are you looking for in a trade?

lol yeah it kinda does. I'd accept a kit from my Wanted thread as long as it was also factory sealed (or at least sealed inside and complete). I'd accept another '68 or '69 Revell Charger R/T, '69 Charger Daytona, '70 Super Bee, or maybe another Mopar kit as a trade too, I just haven't added those in my Wanted thread lol.

[crazyjim]

The only Mopar kits I have are

1970 Dodge Challenger Revell #85-2596

1978 Dodge Li'l Red Wagon AMT #38248

1997 Plymouth Prowler w/trailer AMT

Dodge Evil Spirit MPC #1-0858

I have a few Hemi engines and a slant 6 - 2 slant 6's if you count the one in a Deora kit.

I'll have to pass, thank you anyway. I have the same Challenger 2 in 1 kit actually I just added a bunch of cars to my wanted list as well. I will add/subtract from it often. Thanks!

A real 351Windsor block. The plan is to take it to a machine shop for cleanup and clearance for a stroker crank. From what I've been reading, 408c.i. would be as big as it should get for a production block. A 427 would be great, but many say that piston side loads are too great for a daily driver.

What does this have to do with models? I'm going to photograph and measure it so I can make a detailed 1/8 scale Windsor. Just the thing for a Big Deuce or Big T.

[DrewCfromSC]

well its not directly model related but will be. Scored some old NOS 6 volt flashers at a local flea market and already sold a few to buy models! Keeping some for my VW cars too! It was a good day!

My mailman brought me a Revell Hot Rod '54, '55, and '57 Chevy series - all in one large box. This was a trade with George (Davis). Thanks George.

[Jon Cole]

I finally picked up the Model T / Chopped T two kit combo. I think it's only the second kit I have bought this year.

[crazyjim]

That's an ancient kit - or was it reissued?

[Blake Rogers]

reissued

[crazyjim]

Okay. Thanks. I had that chopped body laying around and traded it off to somebody.
