  1. By looking at the wheels, it appears to be a motor home frame or chassis. I would think that the peanut shell is likely fiberglass. I am pretty sure that is what they made the wiener mobiles with.
  2. I am glad you were able to get this worked out, and more importantly, your son is having fun again. I remember those days and not very fondly. With our kids, it always seemed like there was a team or a group of parents on a team that could suck the fun out of every season.
  3. Looks superb! Great job with the paint fades.

    Very nicely done!
  5. I remember the 78 - 79 storms real well. Keep in mind that the average temperature for this area is ABOVE freezing in January and February. We got about 18 inches of snow on Christmas Eve and then another 18 inches New Year's Day. The thing that was amazing to me was the cold. The snow stayed until mid - March. There was no melting. We had a shopping center near us that had snow piles about 10 - 15 feet tall from plowing all of the snow. It was mid - April until the last of that snow melted.
  6. Looks real nice. The paint you laid down is superb!
  7. Keep in mind that while the stripping solution may be safe for a water system, the paint likely is not. This is why we shouldn't dump a stripping solution with paint mixed in down a drain.
  8. I hope everything works out for your brother. Your family has been through a lot.
  9. Great work John! Michael must have been on the good side of the Lord that day because I don't know how he ever walked away from that one.
  10. Looks great. Keep up the good work!
  11. Wow, that is cool! Do you mind sharing what color you painted the car?
  12. In today's times, I can only imagine. To echo Steve, also glad no one was hurt.
  13. Unless a team has a great, great defense like the Giants did when they beat New England for their latest two titles, teams have to beat them by getting the lead and matching them score for score. Philadelphia largely did that and it was something to see. One thing that the NFL MUST do is come up with a very clear rule as to what is a catch. It is long past ridiculous that this has been going on for about 10 years and they cannot get the rule straight. This is not a problem in the college game.
  14. Really nice looking work!
  15. Very nice! I liked those kits, unfortunately not many others did.
  16. Looks great!
  17. You did a great job painting it and it looks real good. But I can now see how some people have a fear of clowns.
  18. Excellent craftsmanship!
  19. Very nice build. The weathering under the hood looks great!
  20. Very convincing weathering. Looks great!
