Wow. Are they hiring? In the 1980s I used to work for Diversified Printing in Pasadena, and at the time our claim to fame was having the only color copier outside of West L.A. We'd get the occasional props people come in to make copies of things like the Fall Guy logo to be pasted onto miniature trucks for the stunts that were too dangerous or expensive to do full-size. ETA: At 8:31 in the first video you can see the printing plate for the flyer announcing the dance contest "Win a (sic) RKO Movie Contract" from Spielberg's bomb 1941.

"Learn to feel" was Joan Crawford's advice to prospective actors; from this example the feeling could have been taken down a notch:

"Sentence" is any easier?

Fun with old comic strips. Original: 1940s detective Lance Lawson aka Mr. Know-It-All: Redone as slightly less smart than Inspector Clouseau: (Got plenty more of these...)

Pursuits by police on World's Wildest Police Videos used to be narrated in sneering style by the immortal John Bunnell, who I usually referred to as "Bunny".

'51 Vic - oooeee. You're breakin' my heart with this one! Would be a great transkit for AMT's re-released-a-million-times '50 convertible.

I did go with Tire Rack for both cars; Goodyear Assurance on both (205/55R16 on the Cougar). Been happy with them so far. Took the Cougar to a car club meet up in Atascadero two weeks ago; ran without a hitch there and back and got around 29-30 mpg. And a week after I got home: dead battery. I noticed I'd left the mp3 player plugged in the cigarette lighter, so... Jumped it, started right up, drove it for about 30-45 minutes, unplugged the player and parked it. Next Sunday - dead again; guess it wasn't the player. Will get that checked out soon, as I really enjoy driving it.

Earliest I can remember was an AMT '62 Tempest convertible when I was four; Dad built and I watched/helped. I don't think we painted it, and I played with it to death afterward. This would have been in '64 so Dad probably found it at a discount store.

Haven't bought much in a while but I keep my eyes open. Passed on a couple '33 Chevy Panel kits whose bids hit the stratosphere, and a '58 Pontiac hardtop that did the same, but did snag this very decent '61 Fleetwood body: ... which will go to improve the damaged one I got from the Tennessee tractor auction some months back: ...then I can cut the good A-pillars from the blue body to fix a second complete one I have in the stash - and maybe convert it to a six-window short-tailed Town Sedan. (Jo-Han already shortened it a bit anyway to fit the box, so...)

Bill, will the Jo-Han '57 DeSoto promo bumpers fit your model?

Well that just sucks.

Fine, Howard and Howard were three of my favorite Stooges.
