Our neighbor bought another new toy...

Went to DQ tonight...

My wife's family has a group text chat to stay in touch. Her younger sister texted this last night and I lost it. Still makes me chuckle...

Reality is I'm working and all I can think of is getting home and taking a nap.

Graham, It'd be great if you took this over. This was originally based on the races TRoG held at Flabob and here's a link to the classes then (2023). https://www.theraceofgentlemen.com/race-entry-ca Unfortunately soon after I initiated this group build last year, it lost momentum because of my lack of participation. A couple of family crisis' arose and my focus shifted to my wife and then my job. I'd love to see this resurrected and to be a participant. Charles Erickson

Saw these both today, one in a parking lot and one as a "food cart" at a farmer's market. Visiting family in Tucson.

Mostly used with Midgets... https://myflatheadford.com/the-famous-jiggler/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.motortrend.com/news/hrxp-1111-tiny-smith-flathead-ford-jiggler-v8-60/amp/

Very cool model! I love it. Thanks for posting.

Ulf, your work is definitely an inspiration... I'm glad that you're still working on this project. I feel bad that with life, I've allowed this thread to dwindle away. Definitely start a wipe thread of your build! I hope to start another California Drags build, because I love the parameters of it. Thanks again for your work Ulf. Charles Erickson

Don't know if anyone would be looking for anything like this...? https://www.vcgresins.com/shop/p/gladhand-pack

I understand not having time, life's been crazy. I'm definitely looking forward to both of these! I'll definitely say everything Jason casts is great!!!

Anything new coming out?

Besides Texas 3D Customs try VCG Resins https://www.vcgresins.com/shop/p/vintage-offroadtruck-tires-4-styles

My lines are usually crossed... sorry.

Lol....L O L A, Lola...wait you meant laugh out loud.

I remember that the 70's and 80's 57 hoods had a strange indent about 1/2 way in... besides the other fixes, it'd be nice to have a hood that fit.

Saw this is coming soon from VCG Resins by Reese. Too cool...now maybe with frog intake?

Merry Christmas!!!

I think it looks cool, when I checked my email, the "mystery engine" option was sold out... early the next morning, they were all sold out. Still anything from Josh is worth it!!!

Again, I apologize to everyone for my leaving this build thread "hanging" for months now... there was a lot of excitement when I introduced this build. Myself included! Life has interfered. I've done nothing in months on anything. In the last 8 months my wife lost her youngest son and her father. Just last week, I had my first scare with my mom. Now, it looks like my wife might be looking at legal issues regarding her father's estate. I sincerely hope to start building, possibly after the holidays. I haven't even been online much... If anyone is interested, maybe a 2024 TRoG California Drag? I don't know. I want to thank everyone here, those who participated and supported. Heck, for this forum period! Have a wonderful holiday season. Charles
