  1. Hampshire Sour Cream is great on a baked potato with butter and salt.
  2. Most stuff I get is used, but I'll be putting in pre-orders on the new AMT Barracuda and Chevy wagon as soon as I can. I think it'll take most model companies (except Atlantis) a couple years at least to bring production back to the US.
  3. The wagon promos had the correct two per side, but the Craftsman had three for some reason (maybe they used the Impala chrome tree?) plus the wheelcovers were poorly simplified.
  4. Jaw hits table... Who would have thought the '60 Nomad would come back? I'd have expected the El Camino, maybe. Having owned a promo and a Craftsman kit, I knew the Nomad was frankly pretty crudely done even compared to the rest of the AMT '60 line. The prototype already looks way better than the original kit; will it be engineered so the '59 El Camino chassis and running gear drop in? Would be missing a golden opportunity if they didn't. That Barracuda chassis will be going under a lot of Craftsman Valiant and Fireball 500 kits, I bet! Looks like the engine filler is supposed to be a slant 6 as was in the original kit. Good on ya, Round2! ? Now about that '66 Skylark...
  5. Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out dough, so you better thoroughly wash the bread pan.
  6. North Hollywood High School, class of '62:
  7. makes comfortable blindfold
  8. Run in her tights can be a traumatic experience for a showgirl.
  9. Hi Dmytro. This is is the person who had the problem: Has this happened since then?
  10. Hit an estate sale today and nabbed this Tonka pink Surrey Jeep, cheep: Missing two roof poles but they're just 1/8" wire, and ordered the missing spare tire off eBay. Paint is in real good shape. Also scored an autographed photo of Julie Newmar as Catwoman
  11. Game of Thrones; never saw an episode but I heard it's about how winter is coming but it's OK because this short guy has a fire-breathing dragon that he uses to melt the snow.
  12. Did these guys have input on the last part?
  13. ^^^ and have fewer than four doors
  14. Sentence received by Johnny was a trip to Remedial Language Arts.
  15. With the rich and powerful, always a little patience.
  16. Finally found a '64 Chevelle wagon that wasn't a bank-breaker; needs a lot of help on the glue splotches but very savable: Hood is from a '65 (anyone have a spare '64 from the new Craftsman kit?), and I already got a firewall from another eBay seller. Toughest part will be the stock taillights; will probably have to pay through the nose for those unless I scratchbuild them, or I find a '64 El Camino that has a set I can cast. Probably will do a folded back seat if I don't have one in the parts pile. By the way, has anyone else here managed to make an opening tailgate on one of these '64/'65 wagons?
  17. It's still there, but they had to drop California, Texas and Florida. I found an earlier version of the site on archive.org that still had the CA blanks, but the personalization no longer works. The other states are OK, so if you want to do this car, you're set:
  18. Nice! Appears to only go back to late '80s in CA unfortunately, but it works for my old Starion:
  19. Hi, I was checking out the kits on eBay and I'm very impressed - really want several of them especially the Aero Willys. Has the problem with the bodies curling up been solved?
  20. Looks like first-gen Camaro or Firebird.
  21. Especially tough when the door handle has an indentation underneath it that has to come out smooth (early '60s Ford products).
