    Taking up an old hobby

    Next up 1964 Dodge 330 started out as the "color me gone" super stock, but the decals were crap, and typical Lindberg model it was warped, had to use a heat gun to get the chassis reasonably straight It came with a 426 wedge, that lacked detail, but did have a nice set of headers Lindbergh...

    Taking up an old hobby

    The 61 sat way too low in the rear, a little creative modeling and it looks much better (I'm old school, bigger tires in the back, and a jacked up stance)

    anybody ever heard of A925 DOHC 426 HEMI?

    Learned something new,I had never heard of a DOHC hemi, I bought a model car, a 70 pro street coronet, and the engine is a DOHC hemi, I figured it was just a pretend motor somebody made up, but I guess it actually existed In real life it was just a prototype, and never ran under its own power...

    Taking up an old hobby

    I haven't built a model car in 30 years, used to build the heck outta them as a kid/teenager Anyhow, at the beginning of the covid crisis I ordered several models to pass the time during quarantine, but turned out we were only closed for a week, so I'm slowly going through the stack of boxes...

    Pakistani Truck

    Hey, they got it fixed Years ago there was a show on called "Cuban Chrome" you wouldn't believe the things they do to keep those old American cars running, hammering out entire new body panels with wood and mallets, and those old cars are passed down from father to son like heirlooms

    wow, talk about someone getting upset about another's opinion, did you write that article?

    motor trend started it, they could have titled the article" advantages of new cars over old cars" I wouldn't have had a problem with that, and would have probably agreed with some of it, but instead they went straight for the jugular with " old cars suck" I read that and was like" wait a minute...

    For Retired Hippies Only. What are you listening to?

    Unconventional..I saw Arlo a couple years back in Columbus I've always wanted to see John, but didn't make it in time And now I just can't stop listening to his music And on a lighter note, I always considered "Christian comedians" a contradiction in terms, but this guy is really good

    13" Wheel Covers with 14" or 15" Wheels

    Just throwing out a real hairbrained idea, any way to attach the 13" hubcap to a 14" beauty ring,? kind of like how people used to attach the spun aluminum discs to a beauty ring instead of drilling holes in the rims That's the only hillbilly ingineerin way I can think of doing it

    Chinese made crap replacement parts

    Oh yea, we're to blame too, we live in a disposable society Any old timers remember when you could rebuild a fuel pump? Go buy brushes for a starter? The TV tube tester at radio shack? Now we just throw it away or turn in the core so they can send it to china to be rebuilt, then sold to us again...

    Chinese made crap replacement parts

    I should probably just shut up and move along to the next post, but old habits die hard I agree with bluNblu, you can't blame the Chinese, if you want to blame someone blame greedy CEOs who only care about the bottom dollar, and where the shareholder comes first and the customer comes second I...

    Upstate NY botched paint job help

    Just my opinion, but unless you know someone who can do a good fade paint job, you'll probably just be disappointed again If you have your heart set on a fade paint job, wait until its safe to be in a group again, and find someone at a car show that has a paint job you like and ask them who did...
