Looks like it only has 48 stars to me.Originally Posted by knappyfeet
"In 1912, two stars were added, representing Arizona and New Mexico, bringing the total number of stars to 48, arranged in 6 rows of 8 stars each. There were thirteen stripes representing the thirteen original colonies. This flag flew from 4 July, 1912, to 3 July, 1949."

This was from the other day, but really it's been a few years since it last drove under it's own power.

Well today after shipping off some 86 TECATE parts I sold, I decided to fix some chipped paint on the front of a police interceptor I recently sold before it gets shipped to Philly tomorrow. It looked the same on the other side as well. I got spray can color match lacquer from oreilys auto then used 220, then 400, then 600 all with water to feather the edges then sprayed the color then sprayed gloss clear lacquer over it. Fortunately Ii got it to blend well enough that it's nearly impossible to tell where the repair was done and now the guy is getting a little nicer car than he expected.

Love me some P71!.

Usually the ones available are all "serviced out" and worn to the hilt. I know you had one that was clean and never put in service..........if I wasn't knee deep in vehicles I'd hit you up for one with the "homie hookup" price.
6bt.........nice score on the Suzuki plastic!

Well today i'm trying to make a tri zinger 60 gas cap out of wax (1st step) but holy crap the tops are paper thin no wonder they break if you tighten them to much. I cant even get hot wax to flow to fill it in (not yet)

Is there another method for making a mold like using clay or sand casting? Forgive my lack of knowledge on this subject as I have no experience in making molds. I used to buy the Y zinger fuel caps for my Tri zingers but those break just the same. I ended up using a Jerry can fuel cap because they seem to work best.

If it wasn't for the inside threads i could throw it in the sand/pour and be done. But if i make a core that "works" it'd be easy, all i would have to do is push the cap-top half of mold deeper into sand by 1/8 inch or so to give a thicker top.
The core needs to be there for the shape/size of threads, the sand would fall apart after heat- giving you a nice finish.
My sand binder is co2 activated or time... I need to find a co2 canister, i was told/heard that those in home soda machines use a co2 bottle and is readily availabe at walmarts/targets but have yet to find any.
Used my kids co2 bb gun canister yesterday and that was a- well lets just say it didn't work...
Had my heart set on a metal cap, but since the plastic caps are still availabe new i'm won't go in that direction.
I'll try again at some point but i need to walk away its to easy to throw this part.
Anyone seen co2 canisters for sale?
Hope this all makes sense im cooking dinner at the same time.
I can make a pattern out of polystyrene foam (its like the foam around a window air conditioner) and pour the alum and it'll burn out the pattern to leave a part, but you cant get a 2-part mix for it. The foam in the can for like insulating windows is not the same (doesn't) burn.
In my pics i was trying to make a wax part cover with a like plaster slurry/dry it/melt out wax in an oven then pour into the empty cavity.

You can get big bottles of co2 for paintball. 20, 24 and 40 oz? I haven't played in 15 years but I still see the equipment around at Walmart and Dicks.
