I have to concur with Snake. Steppenwolf Live. Because of this song. The best rendition of it that I have heard also. Eric Clapton Unplugged. The only way I could understand the words. Sorry, couldn't find the video of this. And Superdan was close. Metallica S&M. For the most part for this song. Crank this one up LOUD. I love these songs and listen to them often.

Glad you could get back behind the wheel Carl. We are supposed to see 50 degrees tomorrow. I'll believe it when I feel it but it will be a welcome change.

Great topic Carl. My Dad was into Cadillac's. He had two 1964s and two 1968s. I did most of my practice in one of the '64s and that is what I took my test in. My first car was a '67 Cougar. Yes, I do so much wish I still had it. Took my motorcycle test on my brothers Kawasaki 500 Mach III. We had gotten a minibike when I was in 5th grade and I got a dirt bike in 9th. It was dual purpose but it did have a license plate and was Pa inspected so I did what any 14 year old would do. I rode it on the roads in my town. That was a different time back then. Early '70s. We had to take our tests at the State Police barracks (closed course) in the county we lived in. I failed my first drivers test because I followed my mothers advice. I passed the second time doing it my way. When I took my MC test the trooper told me how how he wanted me to do the course. Since the Kaw didn't have turn signals I made sure that I did all the hand signals correctly, When I approached the end I saw that the trooper wasn't even watching me. He had his head stuck in the drivers side window of the young girl taking her driving test in the car that was behind me. I guess he figured if I could ride it there to take the test I knew how to ride.

Well done Pat! Thank you for posting. Unique, at least to me, subject.

Nicely done. The gull wing doors look really good on this car.

Thank you sir. I just came across a built up.

If I'm correct, didn't AMT have the grab handle slot in the passenger side dash hump? I can't tell from your pics if it's there or not. If there is one it should eliminate at least the 1967. Then again, looking close at the dash it seems like it has a lot more dash gauges than it should. And while I have you on the phone, so to speak, which '63 Corvette convertible kit had the revolving headlight buckets?

I'd love to have one of these. A quick eBay search shows they are a bit too pricey for me. There is a Revell VW panel van kit too. Same deal. Would be nice, more than I'd want to pay. Thank you for posting Casey. I may look for a good deal on one.

Interesting Corvette Snake. Nice find. I did a search and found no information on this kit. I'll agree with you. It does have a sort of dune buggy look to it. Makes you wonder why they didn't sculpt the front fenders inward too. Just my opinion, the hood scoops look Mako Shark to me. The windshield looks like a standard windshield that was installed upside down. And you need to put some air in the left front tire LOL.

It should be on the front panel or on a small plate on older machines. If you look at the pic of mine in the first post my plate is on the right flat part below where the Singer badge is on the machine. It is Y1605574. If you click my post pic it should get pretty big. May take a couple clicks. The number is easy to see then. Machines from the 1800s to 1900 do not have a letter prefix.

Sorry you didn't get the Kenmore Chris. I'm a newbie at these things so I can't even recommend a Singer that does heavy material. The Pfaff I have does. Try thrift stores, garage/estate sales or church fund raisers. You may be able to get a good deal on one.

Your Mum has a nice collection Les. I'll be satisfied with two that work. If you'd like any of them dated send me a PM with the serial numbers. I'd love to see a pic, or two, of the engraved one. Sounds cool.

Did you work on any older ones Johnny? I need help sorting out what foot pedal I need to buy. All I see on eBay are 3 prong plugs like to one on my Pfaff. This is what I have and it's confusing the...heck...out of me. The thick cord coming out of the bottom of the female plug is the power cord. The male plug is for the light. I have no idea what the foot pedal would plug into. And no, as you can see I have not started to clean it up yet. I want to get what it needs to work then I will start to clean and lube it. And yes, I am going to replace the wiring first. It looks cool all vintage but that is spelled f i r e h a z a r d.

I double checked the serial number on the Singer this morning. It was made in the Elizabethport NJ factory in 1923. It turns 99 years old this year. Next year it is a true antique in a partial meaning of the word.

Nicely restored watch makers lathe. Looks awesome.

And I take it you've been there Scott1?! Seems like it would be a cool place to look around. Sort of a museum with items for sale. It's great there is a place that still does that. The younger generation starting at 40 year old's is a wide margin. But if kids are buying them it may explain why they aren't into modeling LOL. They would have something to do with their hands though.

That is a cool looking one Steve. Sadly you are probably correct that it was pitched.

Cool Scott. I just like old stuff. Back when it was made to last.

Nice looking typewrite Scott. And I'm sure it types great. What is your oldest one? I'll start looking for one just to have. My son would use it. I'd like to find one from the '30s, 40s or 50s for myself Various things I have span these years. A thrift store is a good place to look. I had found a vintage Singer cabinet model years ago at a church sale. The lady begged me to take it for $7.00. I did. I do not have it any longer though.

The Slant-O-Matic is stunning! Well worth the cost to repair IMO Aaron. That includes how nice the cabinet looks even if it wasn't part of the resto.. The Singer is a beautiful piece also. I love scroll work and the gold leaf they put on these just makes them that much more outstanding, at least to me. And you can see where it was held to raise and lower it. It's a great back story too. I'm not "into" them either as far as finding more goes. I'm happy with the two I have. I just would like to get them both working as they should and learn how to use them. And, I'm not on FB. Thank you for the info though.

I have an old radio from 1934, an older record player I would guess may be from the 1950s although I have not researched it yet and and some other vintage pieces. An old typewriter would be cool.

I have a number of them although I have mostly the smaller ones . For modeling purposes I've used both sizes as a small container to strip parts in. Purple Power/Super Clean etc. Typically won't fit a body without using a lot of product but for interior, suspension etc the small ones work fine. I also used to store my water based AB paint in a couple of the larger ones.

When you can Mike.

Sorry to hear that Mike. I'd have liked to have seen a pic of it.
