The wreck today reminded me too much of Bodine's career ending wreck in the truck series back in 2000. Even before DW called it, thats what I was thinking. The last 15 laps were pretty exciting, well, until the last lap. Aparrently the 32 cars wheel went 9 levels into the stands.

I just now this morning figured out the Fotki "friend request" thing. D'oh. Hey Doc, I wasn't ignoring you, I was just ignorant. Hey thats funny, ignorant and ignoring. OK, time to put the Smirnoff down.

Tim Boyd suggested I post this. I followed his method of chopping a 49 Merc way back when in Street Rodder mag. This might be 35 years ago.  Its been seen here before, but I'd like Tim to see his handiwork as I presented it. The profile of the chop as he instructed, is gorgeous. His Merc had B-pillars, but I chose to make it a hardtop. All the work you see is done with a razor saw, tube glue, and Testors putty. Yes Virginia, testors putty does eventually stop shrinking and dry. If you look close you will see the A-pillar is cracked. I dropped the darn thing while taking pics. NO big deal, with today's technology its an easy fix!

And I cant sleep. So I'm here. Bored outa my gourd, gotta get some entertainment, thank goodness for MCM. What do you guys do in the wee hours when you cant sleep?

Do any of you guys know how to get parts for Fujimi kits? I am missing a small part from a sealed kit. I googled and Hobbylink's parts dept is still down since the earthquake, and Hobby Search's site is down for "maintenance" . I have no experience in these kits from Japan. I bought if off ebay and dont really want to go thru the headache of returning it then looking for it and buying it once again from someone else. And oh yea, the kit is out of stock at both those vendors.  Any ideas?
