  1. That's funny, I was thinking that looked like mica red only different- it really looks great over the gold. When I was about 13 a kindly sportscar saleman let me sit in a brand-new Miura SV after I told him I had the matchbox car. I asked him how much it cost and he said $28,500
  2. That song is about Stephen Stills' infatuation with Judy Collins
  3. Top-notch work there, I especially like the Miura. What color is the 2nd Ferrari?
  4. I'm missing our club's model show today because I pulled a muscle in my lower back 2 days ago and can barely stand upright.
  5. The inline 6 in Galaxie's '46-'48 Chevy kits is nice
  6. I use an old 3.34MP Pentax Optio 330 pocket camera mounted on a tripod and set for macro focusing and then use the timer so that my hand doesn't touch the camera.
  7. I lived pretty close to Earl Ike Dodge in 1969: https://www.google.com/maps/place/825+Walnut+St,+Inglewood,+CA+90301/@33.9533852,-118.3569517,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x80c2b6fca387a133:0xe6c459b4919ef10e
  8. Aesthetically, it incorporates too many modern elements and isn't nearly "fanciful" enough to be considered steampunk On the plus side, it looks like it can actually be ridden
  9. Generally, DA brushes are higher quality and have a better spray pattern You can also set them up for a sort of quasi-SA operation by adjusting the needle so that the desired amount of paint is dispensed without having to pull the lever back
  10. I think that's a Fiesta RS. I saw a new Maserati today down by the U of O, one of these days I'll have to go down there and take some pics- the rich Asian students are all about displaying their economic clout, even if they can't drive, LOL.
  11. I saved $500 on our taxes and in the process realized I've been inadvertantly screwing ourselves by filing the wrong form.
  12. Learning from your mistakes is good, but learning from other people's mistakes is better.
  13. I Can't Stand Losing You by the Police
  14. I like the Surfites too. Check this out!
  15. Oven cleaner works real well for that too- put it in a plastic bag and seal it up.
  16. Motorcycle would be my guess.
  17. 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford
  18. My wife works for one of the biggest online sellers of certified organic herbs and botanicals so I get a heckuva deal on wolfbane and mandrake root
  19. "I was just driving along minding my own business when this thing fell on the truck..."
  20. She arrives like a limo Smooth and moving On the prowl through the crowd To the beat of the city She glows in the dark Wherever she parks Concrete crumbles and the night rumbles
  21. I use a similar technique to detail motorcycle chains except I spray a little puddle of metalizer and let it gas out, then rub my fingertip in it and transfer it on to the surface by tamping it on with my finger. It works great, the result looks like I spent a lot of time but it's actually very easy. Metalizer really likes to stick to Tamiya acrylic paint.
  22. I feel for you guys, it's 64 and sunny here right now- this has been the mildest winter I can remember.
  23. Pronounced like the Japanese, it's "Tahm-ya", with neither syllable accented.
  24. Here in the US, '79-'80 are SA22s, '81-'85 are FBs
  25. I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing by the New Seekers
