  1. Looks great. The interior detail looks real nice as well.
  2. Great looking model. That is a name I have not heard of in a long time.
  3. Even if FDoT is held responsible, most if not all of the states have something called a Tort Claims Act (sometimes called sovereign immunity) that statutorily limits governmental liability. The purpose of these statutes is to shield the taxpayer from outlandish jury awards, but most of them have not been updated in years or decades. I did a quick internet search and it appears that $200,000.00 may be available to each person hurt of killed. There may be another $100,000.00 available if the person has dependents. Not much there.
  4. Very cool.
  5. A governmental agency involves itself in the construction of the bridge very late and demands a significant change, the project is behind and way over budget and there is the potential loss of federal dollars. Talk about a recipe for disaster! When the investigation is concluded, we may all be amazed the bridge lasted as long as it did.
  6. Happy birthday a day late.
  7. Great job Scott. I guess the 1939 Ford is dead?

  15. Very nice. One of my very favorite body styles for this car.

  17. I do not see this happening. Revell is one of the crown jewels of Hobbico, and the crown jewels always go for a premium in bankruptcy proceedings. The worst that could possibly happen is that another model company buys Revell with the sole intention of acquiring the molds and producing the old "Revell" models under their own name.
  18. David, basically you are correct, but the new pieces make the cars handle very differently as far as the setup goes and how the cars respond to in race adjustments. When Toyota introduced the new model of the Camry in 2016, the Toyota teams struggled for almost half of a season. In fact their 2016 season kind of mirrors Chevy's so far. Hamlin won the Daytona 500 and then the Toyotas ran very inconsistently until the 2nd half of the season. Toyota then placed 4 drivers in the Chase and Edwards and Busch ran for the title in Miami. They were a juggernaut last year. Kyle Larson was the best Chevy driver last year. He has been up and down so far this year. He shows speed at certain parts of the race and then it falls off in other parts. One of the things they have been complaining about is that their in race adjustments are not working the way they anticipate they should. Or like they did with the old car.
