MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Cost of living always remains the same: everything you make. Thought i was going to get ahead his month and either the water pump gasket or the lower coolant hose failed on my truck. At least it's old enough that it should not cost too much. No computers involved and easy access.
  2. going to be a nice stretch except for Sunday. mid 60s to mid 70s. Sunday near 90. but unfortunately for the garden no significant rain chances. and we are already an 1' behind for the year. But the nice weather means smoke from annual prairie being burned off.
  3. If the rest of the kit is half decent. this is one I'm not familiar with.
  4. One could narrow the bed to represent a step/ sport side and drop the duallies if the rest of the kit is half decent. this is one I'm not familiar with.
  5. how about a tonneau cover and going for a salt flats racer look?
  6. Solvent cement for styrene, CA for non-styrene or when I need a quick bond, canopy glue or Alene's Turbo-Tak for clear parts.
  7. That clay idea sounds great. I'll have to file that away in my organic library (brain). I can see using it when fabricating/ modifying parts too.
  8. Thank you everyone. A jig / fixture sounds like the way to go. With lots of clamps. And maybe a little heat. I'll get around to experimenting once my garden is on semi-autopilot.
  9. newer releases or those that the MFG has recently repaired the molds for will likely have less flash and better fit than those re-issued form older, worn molds. Not to mention better engineering.
  10. Leaf springs with one curve are easy, just like you said. But some transverse spring have a total of three curves. One over the differential for clearance, and the remainder `of the spring is curved the opposite direction so that the ends can bolt to the outer ends of the axel housing. think Model T. Or two mirrored "s" curves I'm guessing maybe some kind of jig.
  11. I've tried searching for a thread on how to make transverse leaf springs and haven't come up with anything. I found a tutorial on making parallel leafs, but how do you accomplish the additional curvature of a transverse spring?
  12. Up for trade I have one Monogram 427 Vette roadster. appears complete except for instructions. body brush painted and some parts assembled Matchbox/ AMT branded '72 Chevelle SS 454. no tires, steering wheel or taillights. Mostly assembled. some extra chrome parts from another Chevy. No idea if the engine is correct for this kit, as I am a Ford person. Looking for show car and custom parts kits/ built ups.
  13. Looks like Testors metalic green to me.
  14. Scams are getting real bad. I've been getting those. And the "you have a package that could not be delivered" scam, and a scam claiming to be from my bank. when I see a weird weblink or phone number with a foreign prefix it is instant delete.
  15. Hopefully. But it could also mean they are reducing shelf space.
