Important

Pretty sure I can put an actual small block Chevy together faster than this model one.

I don't have to sand, trim or fit most of the pieces either.

The good news is we've got the long block and the accessories done and it still spins like it's supposed to.
 
It's a Revell kit. I got it on amazon.

They are based on the original Renwal kit from the 60's. Revell bought the molds and shipped the manufacturing overseas. The directions are junk and a ton of things that are supposed to be glued say no glue and vice versa. It helps a lot to know how to put an engine together.

I really wanted to buy the boys an original Renwal kit, with the light up spark plugs and the electric motor in the starter, but mint kits with all the parts are $500 on ebay.
 
did revell buy the pratt and whitney stuff too?

I always wanted one of those.

edit:
checked the website, looks like no :(
Sucks, cause radial engines are super cool.

Having my first beer of 2016. Between the nasty cold I had since before xmas and the stomach flu or whatever it was new years eve, I'm pretty sure the recycling truck driver's gonna be amazed that the can's not half full of beer bottles like usual :D
 
I haven't had a drink since last year either. Been working everyday since the new year started. Maybe by Thursday I'll get a drink. Holiday money is good.

mac 'now I have a cold as well' gyvr
 
It has been a tradition that the past president of the MWC has kept access to the BOD forum as long as the membership has been kept current.

Tonight I received a pm from your new president, macgyvr, informing me that because I resigned early the current board feels that I should no longer have access.

I have given five years to this club, just shy of four of them have been as president, this is the thanks I'm given by the current members of the board.

Your current president presumes to know the reason I resigned, but I can assure you he does not. He hasn't talked or text me since the day before I decided to resign.

I feel this is important for the members to know the type of administration you have leading the club.

I am very saddened that their arrogance has pushed me aside after I have given so much to the club.

I will not be attending winterfest this year as I had originally planned, good luck and have fun.
