My cat who use to steal parts, loved being squirted with a squirt gun. A veterinarian recommend the squirt gun to stop any bad behavior. Instead the cat loved it! Over all he was a very good cat. I never really had any major problems with him. In fact the only time he would jump on the kitchen counter was to watch me fill the squirt gun up with water. He loved it so much, he shaked with excitement watch me fill up the squirt gun. He would chase the after the water coming out of the gun. At times I would pretend to run out of water. He would come up to give a friendly rub against the squirt gun, and I'd shoot him in the face at close range. It maybe mean of me. But, he didn't seem to mind too much. And never tired of the game. This cat was unusual in other ways. He was never shy around people. His personality was such, that most people who didn't like cats, liked this one. I swear, I think he thought he could talk. He'd go out on to the three season porch for a while, and then come running back in to tell me what he had seen. I would listen and say things like, "is that right?" or "that's interesting." And then when he was satisfied he would go back out to the porch to watch some more. Coming in with more reports from time to time. He is also the only cat I ever had that figured out how to retrieve. Most cats you throw a ball, they'll chase it, but will never bring it back to you. This cat, not only chased the ball, but he figured out that if he brought the ball back, your more likely to throw it again. The one part of this story, and I don't know if was cause or effect. This cat who in some ways acted more like a dog than cat? I had named him Rover! After a Volkswagon Station Wagon/Bus ad from the early 60's describing the type of housewife who would own a VW Bus. It said she would be the type to name a cat "Rover". I always thought that was cool. So I did it. I named one of my cats Rover. Not to discount my other cats before or since, but Rover was hand down was my favorite cat. Other than stealing a model part or two from time to time. He was a very good cat.

Somehow they did not destroy the original tool as I feared when they issued the 2+2. For the Bonneville has been reissued at least once since. I didn't have as many problems with the 2+2 as other had when it first came out. Other than I feared that they had permanently ruined the Bonne dies to make the 2+2. Somebody at Ertl at the time was wise enough to see foolishness of that idea. I don't if they cut a second die for the 2+2 or what? But, the Bonne tool appears to be okay.

Beautiful build.

Wow! Very nice. I need to get around to building mine some day.

Despite not being a big Ford fan, I love all of the Ford GTs. Old and new. And I had to come back and take another look at the beautiful GTs posted here.

Yes. Please do. I'm not bored by most anything automotive related.

That's what I do too.

So, what's the problem?

'65 Bonneville was converted into an incorrect 2+2. Not the Grand Prix.

Very cool Ford GTs. Both of them.

I too, say, very nice.

Strangest thing on my workbench? An empty spot. As far as the rattlesnake goes, is there enough rattlesnake skin on It to upholster the interior of a model car? Real rattlesnake skin might be the difference between winning a trophy and not winning a trophy at a model contest!

No. I doubt a rattlesnake would take any interest in taking model car parts.

Thank you.

Yes. Thank you.

Beautiful.

I use to have a cat that would steel a part or two from time to time, and crew them up. I always had to be careful around him whenever I was working on a kit. No walking away from a kit if the cat was in the room.

Cool. Who makes it?

Another interesting one, Greg.

Just bought a Revell '70 Torino in prep for a future Cyclone build.

Into the 20th from the 19th? Or from the 20th into the 21st? Just saying the 20th doesn't clear it up to me. And I'm not trying to be an ass here. I really don't know.

The turn of which century?

Wow! Looks great. Nice job and let me be the first to welcome you to the forum.

I can understand mindless destruction. I found that video a lot of fun. ?

Cool looking custom.
