I was perusing the instructions for the AMT and Lindberg '34 Ford pickups at Drastic Plastic's Fotki page. Aside from a few differences in the bed options, they looked like the same kit. I didn't notice any difference in the parts. A situation of convergent evolution?

Only if you want hairline joints.

AAAAGH! So do I.

She doesn't even know what century it is. Perfect!

You can use a polyethylene cutting board, too. CA won't stick to it.

The increase of amputation-inducing accidents, caused by drivers not paying attention to traffic before opening the door and exiting their vehicles, was responsible for the popularity of the nickname "Stumpy" back in those ring-a-ding crazy days of yesteryear.

Easier for fat guys to enter and exit cars back then. They were a tight fit.

Well, Option A could fall into the "insincere praise" category. Option B could be an honest opinion. If one wants to come off as patronizing, Option A. If you are being brutally honest and aren't concerned about being considered rude, Option B. I'll take Option B since I don't have to go home with that person. Like you never goofed on one of your friends for wearing white pants after Labor Day or tube socks with sandals. But, does it have a 'Vette dashboard?

Gimme a break. Why should anyone who doesn't like this have to reel in his tongue behind his teeth and zip his lips? Everybody has different tastes. Just like artwork, if you build something with the intention of publicly displaying it, don't expect everyone to bend over backwards and shower you with insincere praise. One person's idea of a masterpiece is another's dreck. If the guy didn't want feedback, he wouldn't have posted the pictures online in the first place.

Mike, that would be Custom Squads. Tony makes the best and most accurate light bars and accessories for RMPs. For decals, there's The Police Decal Shop on eBay. The decals are first rate. Sorry, I can't provide a link. Only one per post, it seems.

Don't forget the digital egg timer to the right of canopy/door jettison switches.

Real estate developers refer to this as "ripe for gentrification". "Near all public transportation" - every subway station within a 20 block radius is closed for "capital improvements" for the next three years. Oh, all seven bus lines have been rerouted around and out of the neighborhood indefinitely. Forget about cabs. They avoid gang-controlled ghettos ripe for gentrification. Forget the ones with a driver and passenger in the front seat. They're working plainclothes duty.

There used to be an Off Track Betting parlor on Second Ave., between 52nd and 53rd Streets, in Manhattan. It featured a full service restaurant and bar, in addition to betting windows. It also had a dress code. A betting parlor with a dress code! Jackets required. If you didn't have one, the maitre'd (yup) would provide you with a gawd-awful Kelly Green blazer. Now, back to our show: How about "Handyman Special"? Euphemism for property one step above condemned. "Cream puff" to describe a used car. Ever see what an old cream puff looks like? "Daily driver" - so are garbage trucks.

If yer gonna be bald, might as well capitalize on it and rent that space for advertising.

What you'll save on shampoo you'll spend on Simoniz.

Not a rod fan; so, fenders it is.

You owe me a keyboard. I blew a mouthful of coffee on my computer after reading that. Through my nose, yet.

Then , there's the "Flying Forehead":

Also known as "a hole in your hair".

Bill, you might find this article about GM X-Frames interesting.

You knew this was coming:

Well, a basket is good for.....for instance, you could...........maybe you can........ask her. This is her fault. What does that wiseacre yoot know? He probably uses a unicycle, skateboard, fixie or pogo stick for transportation. How many "investments" automatically lose 10% of their value as soon as you complete the purchase with the broker/seller and continue to devalue 10% annually thereafter?

For starters, the right side of the interior tub is twice as thick as the driver side. The left side of the fender assembly has some pretty deep gouges on the edge of the L/F fender and running board where it seems to have been snipped from the sprue. You are correct about the fit of the roof. To say it's lousy is being generous. Nice Firestones, though.
