Fantastic work!

Great looking build of an everyday work truck!

Now that is one beautiful truck! How did you do your stripes?

What size plastistruct would be right for it. Not going vinyl on the replica of my old 69 Chevelle Malibu going two tone but it used the same trim.

Think of the raw talent that went into these back then. Now they let a computer program do most of the work.

I've always used cheap tissues from places like the dollar store . Whether in their box or a case I just wadded tissues and stuffed them around and over the top of the models until the the box or case was slightly over full. They took some good jolts in the many moves but only lost small easy to put back on parts. Just recently opened some boxes that had been packed away over 30 years ago this way the went through multiple moves with no real damage. In the individual cases I took out the model, turned the case upside down put a piece of paper on the bottom so the tires would not burn the plastic and put the car in packed and used the base for the top.

I don't even look at local obits anymore. It was getting to the pace that every other day there was someone I knew in there and it was getting really depressing.

What pleased me is getting two teeth painlessly pulled today! 4 more to go.

You should hear that sound from inside! along with the shakes, rattles and squeaks! Awesome!

Elephants, yes, cows no!

I'd be afraid I would log on one day and find me on there!!!?

A small town dentist that isn't out to get rich off each patient!

Woke up with a swollen jaw from a bad tooth.

Yes!

No this has openings and appears they were chrome inserts.

My oldest son brought these to me today! Found at an antique shop for 10 bucks each. The Model T kit is complete. The Matadoor has all the stock parts except headlights, taillights, front turn signal lenses, swaybar and decals.

I remember the AMT curbside kits for 99 cents mid 60's.

Most of what We had on 8 track we replaced with cassette and then with cd. I still can tell you when every track change would happen when listening. My sons don't get it but it cracks up my wife . Same with record skips!LOL

I got used to warm beer in another lifetime so that wouldn't bother me. I used to watch tv while building models building but the last 17 years I have had a room of my own to build in. I will listen to 60's rock or 60's country but my favorite to build to is my Nugguts CD's.

"Here I come to save the day!"

Strated out driving my grandpa's 54 Chevy Belair into the yard to wash it. Later became my first car. Really driving I learned to drive at 11 years old driving a 1948 ford grain truck pulling hay racks and hauling grain and beans while doing summer work for a farmer. That was how I learned to drive a stick shift. He put wood blocks on the pedals so I could reach them!

Ordered a custom fit radio for my 66 Buick and it doesn't come close to fitting.

All checked out good in fact said there was improvement over the last 2 and they don't want to see me for 6 months unless I have a problem! So now that means time for seeing the gastroenterologist next. Suspect that my Barrett's Esophagus is getting worse. Still all this doesn't explain a lot of the symptoms that sent me for the stress test, symptoms that I have had for over a decade and no one seems to be able to tell me what the cause is. So goes life!LOL

I met Boyd in 1996 at Troy Trepaniers shop when I was at his dad's truck inspection lane. He came walking in with Jack (Troy's dad) and I said hello at which Jack introduced me to Boyd. We made some small talk and I asked Boyd what he could do with my rig and he actually ran with it and gave an outlandish description of the custom work he might do. Troy was in by then and was getting agitated with the whole thing and told Boyd to "come on!" Boyd told him to go change his diaper and he'll be in the shop in a few!

I've had them all. Always liked Cragar SS wheels but they peeled so bad after a couple years and the chrome pitted over time. Keystone Klassics did the same. I leaned more towards the original Torque Thrusts but my favorite, US aluminum slots.
