            • Doh. I should have realized. Recently when clicking "watch on You Tube for full screen video" on a small news item, YT says they do not allow ad blockers and would not show the full screen video. I use AdBlock+. Is that just me or general policy now? *NM*

• Wayyyyy OT! Have you heard the new Beatles song that dropped today?
  • Can you post a link for it? *NM*
    • Here *NM* *LINK*
      • Heard that yesterday.... isn't that something from so long ago. *NM*
      • David, from what I heard it's supposed to be on the re-relese of this album.
  • I like it but the process to create it leaves me feeling it isn't a real Beatles song *NM*
  • I love about 95% of everything they did. But this song just seems very bland, boring, generic... *NM*
  • Agree it was bland. Didn't sound like John Lennon that much. I've got an entire history of the Beatles and solo careers I can still enjoy. *NM*
  • It'll do. *NM*
• I’m not sure as it depends on how I feel when I get up on Sunday. *NM*
• One step down, two steps up the ladder. ;). *14 IMAGES*
  • YUP! Now was the time to square things up. A little shim here and there will take care of minor differences. Use some strip stock the same width as the sheet stock, glue it in place and then sand the excess away. *NM*
  • You're really coming along! Nice work! *NM*
• Jim, remind you of anything?....PIC
  • Not a model A chassis. *NM*
    • I knew that but the simplistic design, to me, is reminiscent of the T's & A's (my favorite classics). I'll go back to sleep now😉. *NM*
• Looking great Steve! *NM*
• My 1969 F100 project *PIC*
  • I am REALLY looking forward to seeing this one come together!!! *NM*

  • Would love a PIC at full side view, please. *NM*
    • This is the best I can do right now *NM* *PIC*
      • That's just fine. Thanks. *NM*
  • It already looks amazing! *NM*
  • Nice!! *NM*
• When the new Boss 351 and Mach 1 kits began development, Revell reached out to a number of contacts in the 1/1 and scale model world to find actual engines to scale. Ideally they would be engines that were out of the car (not installed) to get better info. I do not have...
  • I did see a pic of the 429 model engine on another site and it looked darn good to these eyes. *NM*
  • (slaps forehead) Bob Perkins is up in Wisconsin, would be a day trip from Chicagoland
• This one... *PIC*
  • That's pretty cool. *NM*
• So many little British cars would make great kits, but maybe only appealing to old guys. LOL. *NM*
• The HP system (taxable horsepower) had nothing to do with the size of the car. It was based off a formula of the engine bore and number of cylinders, one of the reasons GB cars up until the 50's tended to have small bores with long strokes. *NM*
• That's a very cool project. *NM*
• Forgot about that one (Now South Eastern Finecast) but would like to see one in styrene. *NM*
• Wow, paint and car looks great! *NM*
• The goverment did throw them a bone by giving them the contract to built the trailers for the Jeeps. For the Jeeps themselves, the Willys was the MB and the Ford the GPW. *NM*
• For those near Vegas...SEMA cruise today *NM* *LINK*
  • #smdh - When I was working on GM Performance, my partner and I suggested to clients they could arrange and sponsor this - about 15 years ago
  • I'm as close as anyone unless you're at SEMA.😎 For me the SEMA CRUISE would be over before I found a parking place.
  • I sure would love to be there! *NM*
    • Been there once (2008). OVERWHELMING!! Took 468 photos. No one has invited me since. Sample photos...PICS
      • Girls and cars...that's a match made in heaven if there ever was one. *NM*
• I know AMT has an 007 Mustang kit out but I haven't heard about the Revell kit being out. *NM*
  • It is (or will be) in moments if not already. *NM*
    • Just did some searching and found that the combo kit (includes some paint and other things) is out but the price is about twice the price of a normal kit. I'll wait. *NM*
      • I can't find a 1971 Revell Mach I Mustang kit anywhere! Not even at Spotlight . Where did you find it? Email me , we should not post it on the board. *NM*
        • E-mail sent *NM*
• That’s a cool story from back in the day! *NM*
• Who offers "seat cover" decals? Thanks. *NM*

    • That should be offers. *NM*
      • Thanks Marty, not a lot there, I'm looking for something in red. Anybody else? *NM*

  • So nice!!!! *NM*
• If a builder wanted to backdate a Cobra to AC Ace - what kit engine would be appropriate to represent the Bristol I-6 ?
  • I asked that same question several years ago. The answer I got then was the BMW 328 by Heller. *NM*
    • Ow, that's not a cheap date. *NM*
  • The Heller BMW seems to be a bit hard to find, think they only have the race version in the catalog right now. Here's photos of a Bristol block and the Solex carbs for reference. *PIC*
