It's an altered wheelbase match-racer. They were called "funny cars" way back then because they looked "funny". THIS PARTICULAR CAR is a full tube-frame center-steer car, which makes it essentially a very early "funny car" even in a strict historical sense. But call it whatever you want. https://digital.allchevyperformance.com/issue/january-2024ru/tiger-ii-altered-wheelbase-1965-chevelle-funny-car-restoration/

Bones can lose strength as we age if we don't get proper nutrition and sufficient exercise, and vitamin D your skin makes from getting outside in the sun helps your bones absorb calcium better than supplements do.

Pirate-talking like "arrrh matey" in normal conversation tends to make folks think you might have a couple of loose screws.

For what it's worth, the Talladega kit does NOT have headers either.

Shows with car and bike "builders" throwing temper tantrums like 3-year-olds, and shows with no-talent hackers being made out to be some-kinda-wonderful trigger my gag reflex.

Again and again and again, Monday always seems to follow the weekend for some odd reason.

I use cheapo .020 shirt pins for a LOT of things, including kingpins in poseable steering setups. Plenty strong if Fido or the baybays don't play with your models...and cheap. NOBLNG's right about getting yourself a set of QUALITY wire number drills, and a decent pin vise to hold them. Get an inexpensive digital caliper too. It's always helpful to actually know what size wire you're using, and what size hole you're drilling (as the drills aren't always dead-on-the-money what they're marked). AND...when you stick the wire into your nice little hole, don't just put a blob of gloo on the end and shove it home. If you do that, gloo will squooze out around the base of your part and make a mess you'll have to clean up.

Frost on your nether regions can be avoided by wearing fur shorts.

"Show me the honey" said the bear to the bees in the woods.

Copper Kart (Kopper actually) was a custom truck from the time of the dinosaurs.

Years ago when "acrylic enamel" was a standard body-shop repair and refinish material, "hardener" was routinely added to topcoats to improve gloss and longevity and through-cure Though the professional automotive paints would dry just fine without it (and it was NOT considered a "2K" product) the stuff just worked better with hardener added...and didn't stink like enamel for months, either. I'd suspect that somebody doing the mixing at the paint supplier you guys are having problems with had an oopsie and left out a critical component. One-component enamels normally contain chemical "driers" that make the stuff dry (amazing, huh?), and mixing oopsies and other QC issues are becoming more common everywhere.

Today is as good a day as any to do some crab-hammering, or just to get generally hammered.
