Some of the early poly engines could be turned into a hemi with a crank, rod and piston change as they shared the same block! We were concidering doing that on my son'r 55 Plymouth. So maybe using the poly heads shown and an early hemi block would get you somewhere close!

Oh but they can! Had one drill a hole through the siding on one of our houses some years back! They can be very destructive! I hate the dumb ones that try and peck holes in metal downspouts!

A whopping 1 Horsepower and all hoof drive!

It's not a myth. but rather a natural phenomenon that has went on since the beginning of time! Warming and cooling!!

I found Mario Andretti's head! It was inside my shoe!

I lost Mario Andretti's head!

Our Grandson was here to visit on leave from Ft Leonard Wood where he is awaiting reassignment! He is a Combat Engineer!

I think being irked is a good thing as it tends to bring about change for the better in the end!

I used to go on ebay almost every other day searching for a deal on something I wanted and was at Hobby Lobby almost weekly! But here of late I haven't even looked on ebay for anything and the last 6 months I have only bought at Hobby lobby once as opposed to having to grab a kit every time I set foot inside their door!

Just completed a trade with DPNM (Jim Sullivan) He is one great guy to trade with! Thanks Jim!

Happy New Year fellow model builders!

This is the first year that none of my kids have given me a model for Christmas! Instead I gave two to my one son who has rekindled his desire to build models and I probably will sell him a few that he has been drooling over that are OOP! (at cost) Going to thin the car collection of unbuilts down to ones that I have that are of 1:1 cars I once owned or ones that I have to replicate long lost builds from the past. I have a whole upper closet shelve full of semi tractors I need to get on and one end of the closet is full of trailers to go with them!

All one has to do is look at how the cars (I use that term loosely as most seem to more truck like) are marketed these days! Very few use "family" as the selling point and instead show some well dressed man or woman putting the car through it's paces on an open stretch of road with no other traffic! (what a fantasy sequence!) I love going to you tube and watching the old car ads of people shopping for the "family" car!

Tonight bean soup with the ham bone left over from Christmas dinner, homemade cornbread with fresh honey and butter!

No, they ( the jeeps) won't go away, just rust away faster with each new year!LOL Love that Crown Vic!

Yep! Year finished of I'll have couple that will be finished in 1979!LOL

The same thing crossed my mind too!

I have this one on deck. Had to repaint it and need to find drag decals for it.(and a couple others)

That was just how the one at the sod farm I worked for fell! The bands are what causes it to do that. We coiled cable around the bottom about half way up the first section three times and then used a Cat 988 loaded to pull cable tight. At first looked like it was just going to settle down and stay upright but then slowly started that slide as it started to crumble! Those old silos were built to last 100+ years!

Maybe in need of a drug test?

To you and yours a very Merry Christmas and best of all in the New Year to come!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Hope you all had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We were watching grandkids having a great time!
