Well ... Since since everybody's sharing pictures of their better half... This is Liz. She was silly enough to say yes ..... even after she saw the "hobby store" I had packed into a spare bedroom.

Suzanne somers was in American Graffiti. Just a fleeting glimpse of her in a 57 Thunderbird. Tom Petty had about 2 minutes of screen time in The postman.

What was your first model car?
Little Timmy replied to Kit Karson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
This is the first glue together kit I ever built. It was 1971, and I was 5 years old. I left the body stiffening x in the opening for the doors, ( I thought it was part of the rollcage). I brush painted most of the car Royal Blue ( I believe I left the trunk and hood natural plastic White. Not really knowing how a engine worked, I glued the Chrome air scoops directly to the hood...instead of on the carburetors where they belonged . I then took some binder re-enforcing rings ( you know the ones you would lick and then stick to a page of schoolwork to keep it in a 3 ring binder ) and proceeded to paint them in multiple colors. I then randomly stuck them all over the car. ( it looked like the car got hit by a truck hauling "Froot - Loops" . Since I grew up on a farm, trips into town were few and far between . Since I couldn't get to town, I used Gasoline as a thinner ( my Grandfathers idea. )...thus my car had a few spots of " texture" to it. The kit pictured at the beginning of this post is not my original kit, but IS from the 1971 re-run my kit came from. ........ I do NOT plan on building it like my original kit ....this time I will do it the RIGHT way. I do remember a few snap together kits I did before this one. Tijuana taxi, and a 1/32 scale green funnycar, but I don't remember which one. -

Ok... Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I have Two wooden crates and enough clear Whisky bottles to fill them both ( I think there are 20 bottles total. ) decales for labels are included, however, this kit is old and the decals look OK but I would scan them before use. They came from the MPC 28 Lincoln gang busters kit. I also have the wooden keg that came with the AMT 1925 " Fruit wagon" kit. Comes with the bar tap. Any of this stuff usable for you ?

Day 7 : well, I made it this far. The cravings have let up, but I still catch myself wanting to smoke every few hours. I'm not home free, but I'm close.

Car parts were scattered all over the place.

Day 4 : the flaming schoolbus in my yard was just a distraction,,... The man lobbing grenades at me never saw it coming.... Thats when I realised, ... Nicotine withdrawal has got me hallucinating... the headache is the worst part of it. But, I think if I can just last 2 more days, I can beat this. I only smoked for 45 years, so yea, ...it's Wickedly taunting me. ( the following paragraph was deleted due to EXESSIVE profanity directed at Joe Camel . 🐫 🐪 🐫 )

Reality is a place I rarely visit, because of all the fool's that populate that realm.

It use to be that you had a switch/lever for your lights, a separate one for your wipers, or cruise control, or Hazzard lights, ect. The stupidest thing that manufacturers did was put ALL that stuff on the turn signal lever. ( there was one truck I drove that even had the horn on the lever , as well as all that other stuff ! How are you supposed to hit the horn in an emergency / Stupid idiot situation ? ) If you have an "electrical issue" , replacing all that costs more than a good used car !

I'm going in for neck surgery at the end of August. The doctor told me I have to stop smoking ( something about the 2 bone graphs won't heal properly because of the Nicotine in my system) Well.... I'm on day 2 of cold turkey, and I just want to drive my car into a brick wall !!! Everything is making me angry .... air .... flowers....children... you get the idea.

That is " TOTALLY AWESOME " !!! The trailer is a work of art all by itself. However, shouldn't the trailer axles be a bit further forward. I realise it's probably a light boat, but the tongue weight on the tow vehicle would be very heavy. But I don't care, you have created something that I would love to take a ride in .... and I don't swim.

Category implies that something is similar to other things ( categorically speaking ) , but not to be confused with Poodles, which is what that guy is obviously wearing in an attempt to attract a mate.

City was ,apperently, built on rock -N-roll , if Jefferson Starship is to be believed.

Guy over there says this car only has 25,000 miles on it, but the gauges are all missing.
