  1. Here it is before the shakedow cruise — I call it Ex-caliber (see what i did there?):
  2. Nirvana to me would be a world of 1/12 scale models of every car ever made ... and 1/8 too since I'm talkin paradise
  3. It's a freaky country ... if t Brady knocked his wife's teeth out instead of yelled at a couple of no names to make sure the balls weren't too hard, he would have been suspended for two games instead of four. ... ah the integrity ... the integrity ...
  4. All of the above plus: '70 Mercury Cyclone 3n1 with NASCAR version and no 21 Pearson decals '67 Cobra 427 2n1 with road and SC versions With prices below $150
  5. JAMES Naismith. Sorry ...
  6. I think us Americans should remember the NFL is just a game and as William above points out is just nonsense, which is why it's so fun to watch. But to use professional sports (especially the brutality of the NFL) as a source for role models is not a good idea. Cheating is cheating, and the Patriots will be penalized. But while the haters question their integrity on playing with the psi, why isn't there more questions on their blindness to Arron Hernandez's life as a murderer? That to me taints their integrity more than video cameras and soft balls. But it's too abstract of a connection to write a damning headline I guess. I just want to say one more thing. The year the Patriots went 17 and 1 (the year of spy gate), the DETROIT LIONS won just one game (I think) and when I watched their last game I looked in the stands and it struck me that these are true football fans. No joke. Wait, I lied. One more thing. There was another coach from Massachusetts, William Naismith (inventor of basketball) who coined my favorite sports quote: "Athletic competition is the Enjoyment of the opponent's Character." I read this in a small booklet published from the time of the game's 50th anniversary. I lost the booklet and I can't find any documentation of that quote anywhere. And that says a lot about our society ...
  7. I find it hilarious that Dave skipped the super bowl because of family commitments. The Patriots will be penalized from a report created to cause the least amount of damage to the league. Think of any other "finding" that could possibly give more legitimacy to Deflategate. But the Patriot's greatest run by any NFL team since the 1940s (an era of free agency no less) will be tainted by an extra video camera and too soft footballs. In the meantime, don't hate them 'cause they win: <url>http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/a-new-englanders-guide-to-labeling-every-other-nfl-team-a-cheat-135901897.html</url> Am I ok with cheating? Nope. Penalize em all. But the Lions will still suck ... sorry Dave. But you can always DVR NASCAR.
  8. Top 10 Recent Patriots Scandals, Ranked http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/2015/05/06/top-recent-patriots-scandals-ranked/jyPdijY9UhiZ1DoBn4UiKI/pictures.html The one of the mascot in a prostitution ring still bugs me ...
  9. Four, as a matter of fact ...
  10. I'm old school so when my niece asked what I thought of tattoos, I said I couldn't think of ANY image I'd want to look at everyday of my life and not get tired of it. But this morning I called her up and told her I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of another guy's rear end. After a minute she said that's cool and there's nothing really wrong with that ...
  11. The combination of great execution on a really cool truck design is absolutely stunning!
  12. How 'bout these? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=321668967712 At least for the rims anyway ...
  13. Great conversion and some creative fixes David. Did you find the diecast limiting, as far as detailing goes? I liked the look of the bare metal ... hmmmm ...
  14. With that pole in the back, I figure the center console's size is right on the money ... as in being able to dispense a big stack of dollar bills (or notes), if ya know what I mean ...
  15. Can't wait ...
  16. Thanks Harry. There ARE times when I feel just two or three generations away from potential ?
  17. Purely aesthetics. I figured the original design (see sketch of green car first page) was compromised when they decided to use a Studebaker chassis. I found this site on hot-ridding and figured I could do what I did: http://www.how-to-build-hotrods.com/leaf-springs.html ... and thanks for the compliment but I rate my skills as semi-moderate. And that's bragging.
  18. It was easy to cut flush and I then sanded both parts smooth which offered a great surface to super glue (CA). I use Loctite Professional of North America, Henkel In Europe. I didn't see a reason to reinforce with a peg. You're going to like this kit, so I'll take the heat ...
  19. Thanks Dan. You're going to have fun with this kit no matter what you do, but watch the lacquer on this plastic and keep it to two coats including primer. I'm kicking myself for not decanting the spray can I used while my airbrush sat in a corner. Still learning I guess ...
  20. Oh oh ... Thanks Bob for the catch but I can't see what you see (or aren't seeing). I'm on a iPad and just checked on a MacBook and I only see greatness (?) Anybody else see a cat instead? Sorry about this.
