  1. You forgot Banana Bikes!
  2. You talking about the ones the old lady two doors down with a house full of cats handed out every year???
  3. For a second day waiting for the heart surgeon. The called the wife in 3 months early for a follow up on her tricuspid valve implant. 1 hour echo took 2. Word was they saw movement in the valve so they admitted her. Implant team members and the study coordinator all have been here. After the surgeon sees her they will have a meeting of the minds to decide on the next move. Monitor her or open heat replacement. She is considered extremely high risk.
  4. On 50s thru 70s cars nothing bigger than a 15 inch wheel looks good to me. Wish they would put big and littles in the kits.
  5. Had lots of toys made by Kenner back when I was a kid. Well I think I was a kid once but can't remember that far back without help from my older sisters.LOL
  6. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and family Carl. Sorry for your loss.
  7. Some but not all are here. https://public.fotki.com/OldTrucker/
  8. Until you look at the price of individual cases. I probably should have gotten the ones that hold 21 cars as they have taller spaces that would accept the pickup trucks and some of the other taller and longer cars. The Super Bird barely fit! I still have around 50 of the old Johan cases that most of these were in. May try and polish them up as they are pretty hazy looking from the wide using the wrong stuff to dust them!LOL
  9. Discovered I'm about 3 cases short as still have almost as many builts still left! Did not imagine that many finished!
  10. I had the bottles of blue and the green metalic. The green was never opened and the blue was 3/4 full and both were still usable when I gave then to my son two years ago. That paint had an entirely different smell from other paints!
  11. I believe it is a 37 Chevy. I know Mike's car is a 39 Chevy coupe with the roof chopped off.
  12. Was watching a 1963 episode of My Three Sons and they had a Pontiac that looked like a cross between a 65 GTO and a Grand Prix!
  13. Maybe if they had tooled some of them up 25 years ago when there was still a lot of us old guys that remember these cars still building models they might have sold. (note, I said "might have" LOL) It very well may have reinvigorated some to come back to the hobby back then!
  14. Don't wait, it only makes it harder to get another futty friend in the end. Know this from experience as we haven't had another pet in over 20 years. Had too long to think about it and now can't face the chance of another loss. Guess part of that may have to do with age and not rebounding from loss like I did when we were younger.
  15. The were ordered direct from Carney Plastics. 114.95 + 24.00 shipping. (each)
  16. Just got three Carney 24 car cases delivered to the house today!
  17. Found out my 70 year old sister has covid! Three weeks ago the nursing home she is stuck in (by the state) had their first case in a resident. They tested all the staff and found 1 that was positive and after an hour of tap dancing around he admitted his mom whom the 45 year old is still living with has active covid-19 and has had for over a month and was in the hospital now! The home went from 0 positive a month ago to now 107 positive cases and 5 deaths.
  18. Fresh green beans, red potatoes with onions and bacon! 2nd time around = even better!
  19. Yep, dealers like that one are primarily dealing with high risk customers that cannot qualify for a regular car loan so they sometimes are carryng the note themselves. They are insuring they are not going to lose money. Dealers like Kia and even Ford usually can get you financing but if you score is too low the interest rate will be quite high.
  20. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Rick. My heart breaks for all of those that have lost that one special person in their lives. I know if my soul mate of now over 50 years now goes before me I will not be far behind as I would not know how to even begin to live without her.
  21. Great save! I have rehabbed quite a few over the years. A bass for my oldest son that he pulled out of a dumpster, an old 70's Harmony that the original owner was going to smash up on stage in their show. Traded him a newer cheap Harmony Strat knock off for it. One of my Twin sons has that one and there were several others including a Domino bass I rebuilt for a guy that was the bassist in the band my twin sons were in at the time. That one was a wiring nightmare! Right now I have a kit bass guitar waiting to be built.
