I read where San Francisco got Garappolo for only a second round draft choice. Belichick must be holding a very big grudge, particularly since the team responsible for his firing in Cleveland is now in Baltimore.

Good for you Dan. I guess you never know when an opportunity will present itself.

Great looking Aerocoupe!

Thanks for the information Peter. I took a closer look at the pictures and I'll bet you are right.

Thanks for the information Art.

All of them look real nice. As far as the pink car, Panther Pink was a color in Chrysler Corp's lineup.

Great representation Mike. That puts it in perspective real well.

Usually most new GM's want their own coach, so Hue Jackson may not be on very solid footing for this reason alone. The few times I watched parts of Browns games, they played hard for Jackson. It just seems that the team is very young and lacks talent in some key areas. The Browns Achilles heel for the past couple of decades has been their inability to find / draft a quality quarterback. If they can ever solve this problem, they could be on the road to being a respectable team rather quickly.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are the metal pieces and where did you get them? That is a clever way to clamp model parts.

Great job! One of my all time favorite body styles.

Great looking model!

Great job! Charley Brown and the Great Pumpkin is a timeless classic.

Great looking model! Very clean build - great job!

Looks very nice!

Great job. One of my favorite cars from that decade.

Very cool. My first car was a 75 Matador, which was handed down from my parents. It was not a very good car, but I really wish I still had it. The kit in the pictured above shows up on ebay quite often. There are a couple street Matadors on the site now, but they are rather pricey.

I have both the Paasche H and Paasche VL double action airbrushes. I prefer the Paasche H. It is very versatile and so easy to clean. The only drawback to the Paasche H versus the Paasche VL that I have found is that with some paint (automotive lacquers) I have to be very careful with the dilution or the paint will not flow properly. Other paints seem to be less forgiving, but this could also be something peculiar with the way I paint.

I did some touch up work on my Father in Law's 1:1 truck last fall and he had some paint mixed at the auto parts store. Their directions stated to strain the paint before spraying it. If you want to return the paint, feel free, but the auto parts store people may tell you that the paint has to be strained.

When I was a kid living in Chicago, people would dig out "their" parking place and then called dibs by placing a piece of old furniture in the spot. It was really weird seeing couches or recliners in the street here and there reserving parking places, but for the most part, it worked. I think that practice is illegal now.

Looks really nice!

Really nice Curt. Excellent work.

Another nice one. I remember my kids watching these cartoons when they were little.

Very nice Steve. I agree that these kits built up well. It's too bad they were not well received in the market.

Looks really nice Tom! I built this kit a number of years ago and it is still one of my favorites in my collection.

Very cool looking.
