And I do want to second Ed’s comments about “details.”

Stephen and I are not sitting looking over your shoulder. To properly figure out what our members are experience, we need the  step-by-step detail of what you are doing.

As I noted, the “instructions” that Ed said he got from me and posted above, are not complete. Details Ed. They matter.…[Read more]

Ed…awesome work as usual. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

As far as the pictures… I am befuddled. In our private correspondence, you said you were starting from the Insert/Edit Image icon in the tool bar (the little mountain icon). Are you still doing that? That approach only allows inserting pictures that are stored online, and yes,…[Read more]

I have spent more than a few hours trying to get pictures posted.  Nada.   I am obviously not smart enough to figure it out myself.  And if Paul or Ed’s instructions work, then I’m not smart enough to follow directions.  Dell, Windows 10, IE.

Exit, stage left.

As you all may have noticed, no photo appeared in my “test” post. That is because Paul’s instructions, when applied to my computer, are bunkum.

Can any of you follow these instructions with success? If so, please chime in.

In my case, there simply is no “right”–as in “select a photo by clicking once, that will make it appear on the right.” If I…[Read more]

I just logged on and I see that I’m promised a photo.

I’ll wait patiently.

Test.

Hey, errbody! I am going to try a new way to insert a photograph in this thread, by following, to the letter, instructions from Paul. Those instructions are as follows:

‘You do NOT have to go back to the “insert/edit image”

‘On the same screen where you uploaded to your heart’s content, select a photo by clicking once, that will make it…[Read more]

I used what johnsimion suggested…Cowles Custom Chrome Flexible Interior/Exterior Molding, 1/8-inch wide, 20ft roll. I purchased it on the O’Reilly’s web site because the local stores were out. And we have three stores local. It must be a popular trim. Another hobby of mine is building wooden model sailing ships (like the Santa Maria, Half Moon,…[Read more]

I remember when I had my Ford Pinto, yes I ownef a fatigue green early 70s Pinto, it cad a rubbing strip on the calipers. When the pads worn down to minimum level the strip would contact the rotorand squeel lo ike a pig. That was time to change the brake pads and turn the rotors.

Ed, I’m not trying to talk you out of polyester, but I have always used 2 part epoxy and had good results.

I have done quite a few fiberglass jobs but I haven’t for a few years but remember (I think) that hardening and curing in hours or perhaps a few days, depending on how much hardener and the ambient temperature.  Maybe I need to do some re…[Read more]

I hear tell polyester fiberglass shrinks if it isn’t cured long enough. I want a nice long interval between the main layup and the final paint.

Yeah those are new MWS Triumph TR3 wheels and hubs. They are tubeless. They have held air for 8 months now so I guess that’ll do it. Probably will buy a couple tubes anyway & keep in the car, just in case.

Never will it be said that you didn’t have a plan.  Does the resin you’re planning on using recommend 6 week cure?…or are you going on vacation for 6 weeks.   (Seems like a long cure time.)

Did you get those MWS wheels from Rimmer Bros?  I was looking at the MWS site and probably missed it but are they tubeless?

Plan is as follows:
