    This guy makes me feel like a hack!

    AOD, I guess I ment lying down as Japansav3 did. I think my question was not in good form. I hope I can explain why. I was thinking yesterday that the wrist pin and crank were facing North/South, but after looking at Japansav3's video a couple more times, the pin and crank actually face...

    OK..I need some computer help...

    Is it a production disk or a writable disk? Is R.I.P compatable with vista? Believe it or not, there many versions of winXP. If they wrote the program with one version it may not work with another. I'm not a comp expert, but I have some experience. I will do some investigating for you and get...

    Username meaning

    Body painting screw up, Help!!

    Yeah, this Pactra is made buy Testors and my lhs guy said its the best paint out there for the car bodies. Both of my lhs' had the Tamiya paint but not much of a selection.

    Body painting screw up, Help!!

    Here's the deal. I spent hours prepping my new body for paint. I washed it out really good and bought some Pactra masking tape to put on some basic lines throughout the body.
