  1. I think Dave Dudley was the original artist.
  2. I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide. I just passed a Jimmy and a White I been a passin' everything in sight.
  3. You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd by Roger Miller?
  4. Lonely feeling in the city One room flat with crumbling walls Sirens play a distant melody Neon shadows paint the halls I saw this band open for BTO in Chicago in 1976
  5. I've posted on this subject before, SOME 70% isopropyl alcohol (usually labeled as "rubbing" alcohol) contains lanolin and/or fragrance. Lanolin can cause fisheyes and other adhesion problems and has to cleaned off with alcohol (I know, the irony) I usually use 91% isopropyl alcohol or pure denatured alcohol- no worries with either of those, but they are very strong
  6. Yer Blues by John Lennon
  7. My workspace is a converted closet- I use an old steel office desk I got for free
  8. Spray everything red first, then use soot from a candle to apply the marbling effect. Let it sit for a couple of days so the carbon has a chance to penetrate and color the surface then lightly rub off the surface soot. Paint the black ribs by hand and shoot dullcote over it all. Then use fine wire for the piping Or float red paint on water and add some black and swirl it around then dip the part in the water like making marbled paper These are just ideas I'm throwing out, I don't know if they'll work
  9. I would not recommend using TS-13 over any enamel until you've done some testing.
  10. I always thought the lyrics were: Admiral Halsey built a fine fleet he had to cop a buzz or he couldn't get to sleep
  11. Or spinning the cylinder. In Commando, the Porsche gets flipped up on it's side, then he pushes it back on it's wheels and drives off with no damage In Apocalypse Now, they are going up the river when they pass the burning tail section of a downed plane that has no control surfaces
  12. I love the 4-stroke bikes with 2-stroke sound
  13. The ".380 Walther" Travis Bickle buys from the illicit gun dealer in Taxi Driver is actually an Astra Constable
  14. I only paint what can be seen, it's not like it's gonna rust
  15. Last of the Summer Wine has lots of nice harmonica music
  16. I have deep-rooted personal issues that I don't work on!
  17. 1) You Keep Me Hangin' On by The Supremes (although Vanilla Fudge's version is more organ-ey) 4) Good Lovin' by the Rascals Glad you like my little musical ruminations
  18. Rock Me Amadeus by Falco
  19. You don't really need to clear over Tamiya black, it polishes out real nice on it's own
  20. Jonny Quest was the first TV show I ever saw in color
  21. EZ-Off oven cleaner will take off Testor's enamel, but maybe not the primer Which is okay because you can just re-sand the primer and shoot another light coat over it to even it out
  22. I was gonna post that one just because I love the band name.
  23. Our LHS used to sell #11 blades made by American Safety Razor that were really sharp and lasted a long time, but apparently they can't get them anymore
  24. I was a "fresh-air snipe" on a tin-can out of Pearl
  25. Nice build. We bought a brand-new Bahama Blue beetle in 1964 and went down to the port of Long Beach to watch them unload it from the ship.
