  1. It is fine if you wast to build it as a Malibu.
  2. I remember having to mow three lawns to buy a kit and paint for it when I was a kid! Even when I was first married it cost an hours pay for for a new kit.
  3. Great news! Wish him a speedy recovery!
  4. The last time I had a stress test they didn't have the nuclear stuff on hand so I,had to do the treadmill. It causes me extreme back pain so it elevates my heart rate even faster! They decided after it was done that the results would be skewed so didn't use them in the end. Still billed me though!!!
  5. Great job on a difficult kit! I did one some time back and more than once I wanted to toss it in the waste basket!LOL
  6. Great job Tim! Fond memories come back with these old cars!
  7. Yep. My wife's cousins have had a body shop for over 40 years. He said his insurance only covers cars inside the shop or on the outside only if damaged from fire that gets outside or if the building wall falls on them. Everything else is on the owners insurance.
  8. Nice one Rick! I had the same idea for that truck, just seems to be the right one for a heavy duty tow rig! How much did you have to alter the tow bed?
  9. I've had parts pop out of clamps, tweezers, fingers and later found them in shirt pockets, in my shoe which I was wearing and stuck in the tread of my sneakers!
  10. 189 dollars poorer and nothing accomplished. Just a partial plan of repairing what is left of my teeth. He will not pull good or repairable teeth is his quote. Next step if I take it is the one giving me fits and the two next to it, quote 598 dollars minimum for that round. Three others will require going to his oral surgeon and three others he wants to possibly do caps. Went to an independent dentist because the places like Aspen are all profit driven and try to sell yopu the most expensive plans they can. Guess the independents aren't much better now.
  11. Told the wife they better get me right in as soon as I'm there or my flight response will kick in very quickly!LOL Only have about 18 teeth left and most of them have problems. Seemed to run in the family. Have 4 that have been broken off at the gum level two have gummed over! They are not the ones that give me trouble though. Think I may have a bigger issue as the couple days I was on amoxicillin before the rash made me quit a whole bunch of symptoms seemingly unrelated I was dealing with for years seemed to be going away!
  12. What irks me is all the things that I have experienced in my life a couple that came close to taking it and I'm still afraid of the dentist!!! I have an appointment this afternoon (1st since about 1992) and it almost has me sick!LOL
  13. I'm thinking this was an atempt to make a Mustang Grande which was a tunnel back design.
  14. He's Superman!
  15. A great car design to begin with and you just added to it! Great looking build!
  16. That is a work of art !
  17. There is a black hole in every model room and parts don't even have to fall on the floor to be sucked into the vortex!
  18. She was my favorite character on the show.
  19. I'm sure many at the track had flashbacks to Daytona 2001. Been doing a lot of praying tonight! First race I decided to watch in three years!!! and this.
  20. One of my grandpa's nieces had a 67 Impala SS that was orange. Bought new at a St Louis Mo. Dealership!
  21. Just be glad they aren't F4 Phantoms !LOL I remember in the late 70's living in a small trailer park in Wi that was set in a small valley. One weekend a month they would come swooping in and shake the pictures off the wall! Flashed back a little first time it happened!
  22. We used to joke that the auto parts warehouse's lifetime guarantee just means you will be replacing it for a lifetime! Have been that route, 3 alternators all bad for one car, 2 starters on another! Third time in 5 months on a front hub and I took my money back and bought one for a little more at Napa and it is still working fine 3 years later!
