  1. Funny thing is, I got one of the 2007 issue Monogram '59 'verts today. Big box, just as it should be for such a big car.
  2. It's lanolin-based as opposed to a solvent. Rust prevention and also corrosion barrier. Good stuff, especially if you use it on new floorboards underneath and then undercoat it. http://www.fluid-film.com
  3. We've special ordered the large buckets of it through NAPA.
  4. Usually, unless it's an IRS, I assemble the whole chassis (sans engine and driveshaft) and paint it black. It may take two or three medium coats to get everything, but it makes things go quicker.
  5. Yes, it's a reproduction made in 1966 for the World's Fair.
  6. No problem! I myself have my PS3 connected to my PC (a 15-year-old Gateway XTV media-center PC running Windows 98) and then outputted to my Technics amp for audio.
  7. Any possibility of recasting the finished product? I'd love to have one.
  8. Connect RCA audio cables from the TV's L-R audio out to an input on the stereo, the CD input if you just want audio channeled through the stereo. You can also connect an RWY cable from the Video and Audio outs on the stereo to the TV when you have anything connected to the stereo's Video channels - using these makes it an essential input changer - just change from Video 1 or Video 2 on the stereo to get audio and video from either input to go to the TV.
  9. Accounting for the wind chill, it was 8 here this morning before the sun rose. Gotta dig out a jacket...
  10. Yep, hit like a train here. Well, what can you expect? Welcome to December, indeed - warm in five months, got that to look forward to!
  11. These look great! I may end up making the LeMans Torino, but I'm going to get at least one more to make a '73 Sportsroof.
  12. How much did you pay for these? I've been looking for a well (read cheap) priced one for a while.
  13. Paul Revere and The Raiders: they may have had some songs that nearly got on the charts again, but none as far up as Indian Reservation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ6RjP7MlXk
  14. I only have three friends I actually play online in GT6 with, and we just drive around Spa and talk. Yeah, the AI certainly is weak... GT4 was a real challenge, and still is - that GT World Championship at the end of the Pro League, the Mercedes Sauber C9 that could somehow beat everything, never changing tires... I have the Toyota Minolta 88C, fully tuned and turbo'd, and it was still an extreme challenge to do. Ah, those were the days...
  15. Gran Turismo 5 was the greatest disappointment ever. Coming off of GT4, they took a quantum leap back - I'm glad GT6 is playable.
  16. Indeed. One of my favorite historical figures, right beside the man who said the other quote.
  17. "Death is the solution to every problem; no man - no problem." Also from the same historical timeframe, but on a different front... "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
  18. I have a lot of consoles. Atari 2600 and 7800 ProSystem, Intellivision, Sega Genesis, NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, original Xbox, and soon to have a GameCube. Had an Xbox 360, but the disc drive burnt out. Now I have a PS3 - my PSN name is ArnoldSaysHeugh (for my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression) - you can find me most nights on Fallout New Vegas or on Gran Turismo 6 - recently lost my copy of GTAV, but I'll be getting another in a couple weeks.
  19. I'd say go for it if it's not more than $20. Looks pretty workable, at least from what can be seen.
  20. Just did with that Torino I finished - out of the box completely, no additions at all, just a simple weathering job. I was happy with the finished product and it was done in one night as a result of no deviations.
  21. Father's first car was a mid-sixties Spitfire with a hardtop. Worked for hours in the rain to dig it out of a cow pasture and paid $10 for it.
  22. Easy day at work, talked to some of the fun regulars, and talked to a new customer about his '57 Bel-Air he took to Hot Rod Drag Week. Even better, I get paid time-and-a-half because it was Black Friday! I might've cashed out 40 people max!
