End of an era, but I'm glad the forum is continuing on.

Looking great! I saw this movie waaaaay back when, gonna have to see if I can find it.

Me too! Don't want anything to do with FB. I'm my own worst critic on my builds, I see the flaws in every one. But I always feel encouraged here. I see articles and other people's builds and it makes me want to try new techniques and add details that I never would have thought of on my own.

Looks great! Love that movie, would love to have a kit of the hero car.

I use a foam block for flower arranging I bought at Hobby Lobby. I've had it for several years now.

Missed one!

I went plum crazy! It's actually PS-13 Tamiya metallic purple, white top and white and black interior. Went nuts on the engine this time. Maybe not my best car overall, but definitely the best under the hood.

Gorgeous! Love the steelies and dog dish caps!

I use a USB drive now too! Can't stand streaming music - they never play what I want to hear, I don't like when the songs skip or service drops and I'm too cheap/broke to pay for the streaming services. Got a USB thumb drive plugged in with a bunch of ripped CD's.

There are also unwanted features on cars that can cause problems. Case in point: I have a 2020 Chevy Equinox with the autostop feature. Every time it came to a stop while driving, it would shut off, I can only imagine the wear on the starter and other engine components. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the button on the dash to disable autostop, so there was no way to shut it off and it drove me nuts for weeks. I ended up picking up a "hack" for the car. Found there's a dongle cable that goes into the harness for the hood sensor. Just unplug the sensor, plug in the dongle and plug into the sensor. It appears to cause a minor fault with the sensor that disables the feature with no errors on the dash. At least some cars can be hacked. I do miss having a CD player, but there's ways around that too.

Great job! Love the color.

Fantastic job!

Looks fantastic!

Looks like you got a great set of tools. Good paints and primer are musts as well. Technique will come later. The best tip I can offer is this: Let each build give you skills to improve the next.

Do want the '65 Barracuda
