Yep that's it!!! Nailed it. Thanks!

Thanks, I remember seeing those.... but I dont need 8 LOL

I used to build on a large homemade desk before I gave it up more space years ago. My last few builds have been on a plastic folding table and I sit on a milk crate. Not comfortable. I was for a while building in my friends basement. Only trouble was, when I felt like building something at 7pm in the evening it was an hour and a half drive just to get there... And I had a tiny desk to work on.. I now have another homemade desk in the corner. Not as big as the one I had years ago but it works. And I'm borrowing a chair until I can get a new one. But here's my current setup. It's nice to be able to get all my supplies out and not have to pack them up each time.

That will be the ultimate diorama when you can just take it outside and drop it in the pond and take pictures haha! Or the fish tank!

Welcome, from Ohio myself. I too got out of building for many years. Now I'm mostly seasonal haha

I saw this a while back, someone or some company was producing decal sheets meant for purchase outside of buying a kit... and that each sheet had a movie/tv license plate set on them... I remember this because someone had said nobody offered a hi-res Rockford Files license plate before now... Who was this and are they produced yet?? For some reason I want to say it might have been the folks at Moebius? I am trying to collect parts to do a Rockford firebird and that stuck out in my head...

I bought a bunch of styrene stock to "try" and make my own '50 front end. I have the '50 Chevy kit to base it off of. I'll get to it eventually.

Thats beautiful! I would like to add that the door handles are chrome, and the gas cap is chrome w/ a black handle. But a gorgeous build nonetheless!

Thats a good idea to use an old TV... and to set it up as a down draft paint booth in genius. Too bad that thing is massive and heavy. Cool though!!

Also Waylon Jennings was Buddy Holly's bass player.... Had the crash not occured... Jennings may have stuck with Buddy and stayed in Rock n Roll and may have never became the legendary country artist.

This. Plus, after you review all of them you can pick and choose some methods and mix them with others, or leave stuff out. I use the rubber cement method but without the salt. Although I plan to do it that way eventually. I also havent even used my dremel yet to make rusty holes... havent dared to try that yet. Soon...

I'm 28 and I like a little bit of everything under the rock genre and really enjoy roots rock n roll. I too wonder what music would be like today had those 3 not been involved in the crash. I read somewhere that Buddy Holly was taking acting classes so he could have very well been a hit in that field as well as music. Same with Big Bopper... made most of his music in the country genre before making chantilly lace. And that he was a very funny guy. It's said that he would probably also have been in the movie business eventually along with being a music producer (he was building a studio in his basement at the time of his death)

I've not done anything to my two cars. Trying to get myself back in the groove by finishing some of the builds I started last year. Don't want any loose ends this year.

Everything is better with whitewall pie crust slicks

I'd say Rob is spot on according to a quick googley moogley

Wow thats a gorgeous build. Man... if I had a car like that in real life... I'd need no other car.... I always thought DeSoto's were probably the most gorgeous car of their day.

Oh man.... Vandal!!!!! thats awesome!!!!

Speaking of getting stuff in the eye... I was cleaning a brush once after painting something with a bottle of testors. And I was using the little bottle of testors thinner, and was just about done and slipped a little as I pulled the brush out, and it flung a good bit of paint thinner in my right eye. That shiz burned like nothing I've ever felt before. Excruciating pain and Lazer fire lava acid sun burning for about 15 mins even after flushing it profusely.

Lopped the right side of my left thumb open parallel to the nail using a fresh xacto blade tying to cut and scrape old glue off a model seat. Rammed an xacto chisel (wood working) vertically into the right side of my left first index finger. DEEP. Pretty sure I hit the bone. Nail and skin grow together funny there now. Had a 10 inch pool of blood on the floor easily. Turned white and almost passed out but my neighbor (whos house I was at) rushed me upstairs and got my finger under warm water and wrapped it up tight. I was in 7th grade in school when I did that.

Thats awesome! There was a mailman that used to run around the area who drove NOTHING but A body Mopars. And as the years went by the started looking like this til he moved on to the next A body he had in the stash!

Now THAT is different... I really, really like it!!

Looks good. I have this kit too... Cant decide on using all the custom parts, making it stock, or making a ratty looking bomber out of it!

Wow. Nothing like being on the complete opposite end of the country!

I seen a black 400i last fall driving around here... strangest Ferrari I've ever seen.

Thanks guys. Its actually quite stout. The wood for the legs is old and worn smooth so hopefully no worries about splinters. As for the top, I took my DA w/ 80 grit paper and cleaned up the front curved edge and some of the side edges. Along with a once over on the top side to smooth it out a touch. May still do something with it. The smell of lumber hasnt got away yet LOL
