Humor makes me think of will simith slapping Chris Rock for a bald joke about his wife that will laugh at ' will smith I felt was wrong"..

Something that’s not enforced here as well. Hardly any was used here must be expensive…

A neighbor set of a m80 in a watermelon 8 ft away from 15 little kids. They all got splattered and chunks flew for 20 yards. It's a miracle nobody got hurt. I left just before he started setting off the BIG STUFF, don't want to be involved with stuff goes south.

Looks very good

Very nice

Once I realized that Bill meant the turn of the 21st century and Not the 20th, his post lost some of it's humor!

Did not feeel good all day today.

Century 21 was the reality company that was selling our house once..

Bars used to be my homes-away-from-home, but that all changed around the turn of the century.

Don’t sit there

But how well does it work as a food dehydrator?

I have two in mind......early 70s 240Z and late 70s Mazda RX7. My choice for a recent offering is the Dodge Viper.

Horsey like apples, carrots, and candy bars..

Good eye! A few people on my Instagram said the same thing - thanks for the confirmation! Yep, you’re 100% right…I did some pretty lengthy research on the Ford Trucks forum…seems the consensus is that the BEST way to lower is the ways you said - I guess a 57 year truck axle has more drop than the earlier years plus some aftermarket springs make it easier too (or, less desirably, remove some leafs…) My goal for this build was something maybe in the early to mid sixties era of hot rodding - I THINK all the parts I’ve used so far (besides that rad) would have been available in this time frame and I’d bet more than a few people tried this technique on their 1:1s. I think steering geometry would be the toughest hurdle to cross, plus maybe notching the frame if this were a 1:1. Mine has about 1.5 scale inches of travel right now so I’ll probably grind a notch in there just to add a little extra feasibility. Thanks for the feedback!! A little bit of progress today…had to print the headers for my Flathead so that I can figure out engine placement, but in the meantime… Ran to Michael’s AND Hobby Lobby for mold release spray so I could pour the second half of my tire mold: Hobby Lobby was $5 cheaper for the same spray, in case you’re wondering…we’ll see if I messed up this mold tomorrow - I never did a 2 part one before… While my mold’s curing and my printer’s printing, decided to tackle the front grille. Stripped the chrome (besides one stubborn spot that even oven cleaner wouldn’t remove) and cleaned up the obvious flaws: Then had a chance to use my new reciprocating sander… …to open it up: Nothing too complex about it…just sanded until it was see thru 😂 Quick mock-up: I did play with the kit front bumpers (there’s a drilled option and a stock variation) but wasn’t wild about either. You’ve got to figure that if someone in the early-ish 60s was hot rodding one of these they might just lose the heavy old bumpers and save the weight, but I’m still thinking on if I could do SOMETHING there maybe. Ive got a bunch of old late-50s and early-60s hot rod mags here; but it seems like if most people were customizing a Ford truck back then they were going more custom than hot rod so I may have to figure it out myself… Thanks for looking - more soon, soon as I’ve done more!

NFS.....the boxed promos were $25. The 69 Chevy has a cracked A-pillar and missing the rear pan below the bumper. Growing up, my dad had a 73 Impala, albeit a four door, as a company car. I think that was the car that hooked me on the full sized sedan

The SRT-4 version was a screamer. With 230 HP it was good for about 150 MPH on the top end, turning a 13.8 second quarter mile. If I come across a totaled one, I'll swap its guts into mine. https://www.motortrend.com/features/dodge-neon-srt-4

You are So correct!

I should / might. Will ck tomorrow Provided all the MPC kits used same support

I really like the Chicken Coop! Too Bad you are so far away from Cali.

Hey Mark,, I have 2 or 3 flatheads from other AMT ford kits. The 49 Merc kit I have is Barris Cruisin and it only has a caddy engine. Could you use a 40, 49, or 53 engine? Lei

. . . or have 20 computers on-board.

Margarita, come see the pretty horsey.

awesome job
