Not the first to do this! I can remember years ago a fella wanted to be buried in his Cadillac. They had him sitting behind the wheel when it was lowered!

I just automatically assume I'll be wrong!

Stone's drummer Charlie Watts passed away this morning at the age of 80. He was my inspiration for picking up a set of sticks.

"Shut Down" An Accurate Version of the Beach Boy's song It happened on the strip where the road is wide** Two cool shorts* standing side-by-side** Yeah, a fuel-injected Stingray and my 413, We're revvin up our engines and it sounds real mean Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down... Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down... Declining numbers at an even rate At the count of one we both accelerate The Stingray is light, his slicks are startin to spin, But my 413s really diggin in Gonna make tracks now, button-shift, here we go... My Super Stock Dodge is crankin out in low, but The fuel-injected Stingrays motors startin to blow To get the traction, hes ridin the clutch, His pressure plates burning, man that smokes too much! Pedal to the floor, hear my dual quads drink and watch my 413s taillights startin to shrink Hes got a Chebby engine so its understood Hes got a crank and rods and pistons shootin out of his hood Shove-a-lot, Shove-a-lot, Mopar muscle shut you down, Shove-a-lot, Shove-a-lot, Mopar muscle shut you down, Shove-a-lot, Shove-a-lot, Mopar muscle shut you down.

Chassis and engine mostly complete. Just sprayed the chrome wheels with dullcoat.

I was there today and nothing has changed since I was last there three months ago. Asked the guy inventorying the paints which are almost non-existent, about the same kits and he said they aren't selling and the manager is looking at reducing the size of the display as they do sell. I noticed their military section was already reduced to about 2/3 of what it once was.

Well if they invest tax dollars into charging station I truely hope they are better than those that are in use around here! Talked to the guy servicing them at the hospital and he says he is working overtime trying to keep them working! Said he is at the hospital 2 to 3 times a week due to equipment failure.

Moving along slow. My paint for the main color went bad. Finished up the interior tonight.

I owned a 76 Caprice for a short time, big ole 4 door in ugliest green color with a green interior to match! It had a SB 400 that kept overheating found it had 2 cracked heads which was all too common with the 400. Most I have seen (mostly being used in demo derbys) had the 400. Like has been said, rode like a Cadillac but had terrible gas mileage!

I'm watching this one David. I got this kit as a father's day gift.

Eeeew reminds me too much of this!

Yes, that was part of the change that they were doing.

My son's cats get that way if they are gone for just a long weekend!

Nice old Ford ! Loved those years! We had a neighbor who worked in the Ford Dealer body shop back then and I remember him sowing my grandpa how they would trade out grills and other trim items to upgrade leftover trucks to the next model year! Said Ford wouldn't issue a title for them until they were sold so that they could do that!

I knew it was somewhere in that area but couldn't remember exactly any more!LOL

My wife saw it first because I was looking for a parking spot at the clinic. Looks to maybe be a 68. Anyone up to doing it based on a Moebius kit? LOL

My dad and two of my uncles were in England. One was a flight mechanic patching them up for the next mission but dad and Jim flew. Dad a co-pilot and Jim a ball turret gunner. Never knew my dad, lost him in Korea but my uncle Jim's plane was shot down on his 8th mission but he made it out after they crash landed as he said "in good shape seeing I only lost half a leg and one eye!" He was a card! He called them little black flowers that bloomed in the sky.

Had to edit, it was our 51st anniversary, not 31st.Lol

Congratulations and may God Bless! We have 13 grand children and 1 Grand Angel.(my avatar)

Day after our 51st anniversary (today) we had a planned get together at our sons. Just thought it was a normal get together but turned sort of an anniversary celebration but it had a twist! One of our grandsons came up. He just recently left the military came up to visit his dad (our oldest son) along with his wife to be. They came out to the get together and when we opened their card inside was a sonogram of our soon to be 1st great grand baby!

It was fun on the ice here in IL in the winter!LOL

Trying to paint some small parts last few days and if I grip anything between my index finger and thumb of my left hand I get a constant rhythmic twitch. Have to clamp in in something and hold it with my whole fist or tack it to a piece of sprue and stick it in a styrafoam block.?

Nice job John! Love the color too! I built this car a long long time ago. I just stared at the kit for a long time afraid it would just turn out a mess if I tried to build it but once started found it wasn't as bad as anticipated to build! Built mine long before I ever tried bare metal foil so the trim is hand painted like a lot of my older builds.
