Completed interior.

Just finished detailing the dash best I could.

A glimpse at the future.

How many had a car or cars that were in such terrible shape that you wouldn't dream of taking it on the road today? Had a Corvair convertible that the floor was so soft you couldn't open both doors at the same time unless you wanted to use a floor jack to get them back closed. By my self was ok but just 1 passenger and you couldn't close even one door! Another was an old Studebaker that smoked so bad a State Trooper said he had followed me for miles and I never saw him until I parked at home! He tagged it unsafe and told me not to drive it again! 64 Falcon that had no starter (always parked on flat ground or hill) and floors patched with plywood and tar.

I thought about it! I owned a 1964 Spyder for a short time. Bought from my old grade school music teacher then made her mad when I sold it to the original owner, her ex husband!LOL Originally was going to make it a convertible that would have replicated a 67 Monza vert I had in Wisconsin. If both doors were accidentally opened at the same time it took a floor jack to close them again!LOL

The body was one I recieved from another member here because the one in a open kit I got in a trade had the front decklid partially cut out badly. It appears to be a prepainted body. I tried putting it in the purple pond for a week and it didn't touch the paint. I didnt get the rear deck lid with the body. Cant seem to match the white on my lid though. Tried twice.

Finishing the engine and creating my own exhaust system. Edit: My exhaust system didn't work out as I did not account for the clearance with the rear wheels and since I cut up the other option to soonI will add heater boxes and stock mufflers with them dumping straight out the back instead. The 4 carbs looked clunky even stripped of chrome so went to the parts box for an alternative.

Nice color choice! I believe these are what you need to make it complete. These are yours if you want them.

Found one I can actually get done because the body is painted. Working on the engine and chassis. Added a little rust.

but I would nope bra

I can't remember if I got this at the Goodwill of Salvation Army store about 11 years or so ago ago. No paperwork was with it so after an online search found it. It was a GTS Music from diy-guitar-kits.com They called it a Jazz Style Bass Kit but what it is is a PJ Bass. P Bass Pickups and then a two coil humbucker at the bridge.

UPS brought me a replacement for my surf green Squire Bullet Strat my grandson talked me into selling to him. Got this Squire Affinity Strat 2 tone burst off Reverb for 120.00 shipped! Was listed as an open box return in perfect shape (and it is too!) for 170.00.

Wife has been nagging me since I got an ES335 guitar kit about the bass guitar kit in the closet that I got about 11,years ago. I pulled it out today and started the mockup as nothing was pre drilled. Neck pocket was loose so took a bit to get it aligned. Going to do it in a cream color.

Didn't like the taillights for the trailer, can't remember seeing any like them. So decided since so many extra lenses were included I would do somerging more familiar. Hopefully it won't be windy and I can do some painting this weekend!

My son bought this yesterday!

Plot thickens. The ship sinks unexpectedly shortly after salvage crew boarded! Hmmmmmm.....LOL

Mostly 60's and early 70's rock. Have been known to occasionally build to Yanni and Glenn Miller too!

Just killing a little time before lunch I painted the trailer mud flaps.

I started with the nose and one side and held it in place until it was set, then added the other side the same way. Once everything was solid enough I put glue along the locating rib at the front of the roof and on the first inch of the sides and slid the sides assembly into place. After that was solid enough I pushed the sides out just a crack and ran glue along each side pushing it together as I went. Yeah, typical weather for this time of year. A few warm days then cold again. as Long as we can get days above freezing with sun and no wind I will paint! Quick step out the door, spray and back inside before the parts get too cold. Put them in a box and into the closet to dry.

Snuck outside between rain drops and painted the trailer bottom. Got the three sides glued to the roof. Now need to try and straighten the rear doors some more.

Found a decent extra set of tires in another kit so,have the trailer wheels done. Glued the side doors in place because they were warped and no one is ever going to look inside anyways! Rear doors are really warped bad. Hope i can straighten them more than I have already.

Interesting thought indeed!

First great grandbaby arrived this afternoon! Don't have all the details other than he was delivered by the EMT's on the kitchen floor. They went to the hospital which is 50 minutes away from their house and they sent her back home. Shortly after getting home labor really kicked in. The EMT's got there just in time to deliver him.

My kid got a 1990 Skyline from there. Came through Canada, to a dealer in Oregon shipped to Illinois.
