Sonny and Cher did a have a TV Variety show for a short time

Can I get a Ten-four! for the Highway Patrol ? Did we miss this one ?

Not to forget the 1928 Porter Touring Car from My Mother the Car

OK Mopararians, When putting a straight axle under a 64 Belvedere do they remove the entire K frame and fab in motor mounts or just remove the steering linkage and spindle mounts ?

They put them parts in the box for a reason. (but that ain't it)

I hereby declare March 31st as National Build a Hemi Day

Back to the original topic. I did some quick research and found out that Congress actually stopped passing legislation for special days a while back but today mayors, cities, towns and states can declare their own. There are sites that for a fee will help you declare a Day, month etc, This apparently includes notifying the media. Or as the link reads you can just do it yourself. So if we or someone else wanted a National Model Day what day and how inclusive should it be (National Plastic Model Day National Model Building Day etc etc ? Should someone start a poll on date and title ? Just saying http://bostinno.streetwise.co/2013/10/04/on-national-taco-vodka-day-we-ask-where-did-these-arbitrary-national-holidays-originate/

Can't wait until 1/32

Anybody have any success at making those plastic two piece split slicks look good ? Ran across a coupe pair in my tire box and thought I would give them a try.

Great Idea , Thanks Jon

I dream in a 100% world but in reality I live in a 25% world

If it doesn't state "combined shipping" in the add I contact seller and ask them. No surprise's.

Thanks ,I haven't added a HUG kit to my stash yet. Good to know

Tell me more on this. Since I have found that there was a 65,66,67 and a 68 HUG what body did they put in the box?

I was shocked today a 70 Superbird unrestored with only 9,880 miles looked like it was off the show room floor with the Hemi (most were 440's) only went up to $200K. This is coming up shortly . Very interested as I am starting a similar build https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0117-269781/1964-dodge-330-lightweight-hemi-honker/

Well I'm 66 and have probably 60 kits to build. At mt rate they should last me a couple of my lifetimes.

Anybody watching the Mecum Auctions ? The no5 Batmobile did not sell yesterday but the Bat Cycle sold for $23K. Another(?) Batmobile goes on the block today https://www.mecum.com/auctions/kissimmee-2017/live/

Thanks for the tips. Got my first set off. Love these carbs.Now to figure out the linkage and fuel lines. These will be going on a 426 Hemi with cross ram.

Looking good. The drill bit clear cover does slide it just takes some coaxing at first.

I was highly impressed with his work. Carbs looks as thou you could hook up a fuel line and start an engine with them.

Just received my order from Fireball (Best carbs I have ever seen) Any tips on how to remove them from the casting block? Thanks

As for the Thunderbird SC V6. Here are two I built for a 32 Ford 5w project. The one the left has the supercharger and intercooler but turned out to be to big for the 32 so I built the other one with an intake setup from a 5 liter HO.
