That’s a pretty incredible looking finish on a scale car, @ctruss53. What a vast gulf in process and goal from a weathered armor piece! Thanks for including all the details too.
I needed to go wash my hands after seeing that rusty Plymouth so I didn’t wreck my white T-shirt! Talk about a convincing effect.
@68GT the lemon-yellow plug wires really add a ton of life to that powerplant.
68GT, looks like you got a chop shop going on there.
Toimi, your armored car is looking nice as well. Looks like you are getting close to the finish line.
And here they are attached and when I noticed the front tire floating in the air. I can use this for the Dio that I am planning.
Next week plan on working on the Ford a little more.
Thanks, one problem that I just thought of. If the wheel is going to be jacked up, would it still have the bulge? Would the tire retain that shape if it had been sitting like that for years?
I clicked on that like to the 34 AWG wire. It showed up as Canadian Amazon, so I logged in so it would go to American Amazon. And of course I can’t order it.
Any chance you could buy that set of wire for me and ship it down to me???
Maybe put a small 12 volt tire inflator on the hood to show at least someone tried to fill it.
And @NucMedTech, tires will actually develop flat spots if left parked somewhere for long time and you can hear it when you start to drive. As the tire warms up it eventually softens and the noise goes away.
Excellent ideas. The plan is for the wheels to be changed all together. Idea is, the guys knew the tires were no good, so they are changing them with others just to be able to get the car on the car hauler. That is what i am using the redline tires for.
