Am I the only one who got a laugh out of seeing at 11:09 the cans of tamiya in a box that said Keep Refrigerated? Seriously Mark, glad you had a nice time at the show

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

LOL!!! I missed that bro! Thanks! Have a great one!!

And a BIG thanks again Doug!!😉

Yeah. You probably better. I am not sure how cyrogentics affects paint. A luke warm water bath is better l believe. ☺

[@bigchef2112]

Very cool stuff. I wish Bandits website was current. Would love to get a few of those bathtub manifolds.👍

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks brother!! I'll ask about the website. I know it was down for a while.

[@bigchef2112]

@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 Thanks bud. Maybe you can help steer me in the right direction. I’m looking for the Chrysler long tube cross ram manifold or the ford equivalent to Mopars bathtub. I’m also looking for dual carb manifold for 426. Tia

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

@@bigchef2112 Hey Robert!! Looking for one of the cross rams myself. Ross Gibson had them all and they were gorgeous! Sadly, I find it almost impossible to find them anywhere now. The best cross ram (for a hemi) I remember was in the MPC 67 Hemi Charger. Someone made the Ford stock car intake but I can't remember who it was. I scratch built one for my Pearson car. (I should have cast them, Ugh!) Hope this helps buddy! Have an awesome day!!

[@bigchef2112]

@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 thank you. That’s what I was looking to do was use it as a master and cast some. Thanks, I’ll keep on a lookin!✌🏼

Wow! I’d spend a paycheck at a show like that. We never have anything like that where I’m at. Haven’t had a model show in 10 years.

Bunch of cool little builds. I'm looking for a 80's suburban kit.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thank you!! I can’t remember the maker, but I remember a few years back a resin body 80s?? Suburban out there somewhere. Hope you fund one! Cool body style. Have an awesome week!!
