This is not mine, but he looks just like this one. Same small blue front and everything.

My Daughter is a High School English teacher. She had been at the school for a week, before the first students ever set foot on campus. Most schools have double checked everything before they see the students. That does not mean there won't be problems. Just means the staff is there and working hard, long before they see any kids. There are always small (or large) issues that crop up every year. Just the nature of the beast.

When I was working at the Acura Dealer in the 1990's we used to have jokes about replacing the "Steering Wheel Actuator", but with self driving cars there probably really is a steering wheel actuator......? The Older Techs I worked with on Antique Cars, groused about the "Loose Nut" behind the wheel.

Other than the Cheesy Wheels, I really like that Monaco.

I thought Norm Veber of Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland did some. Anybody remember seeing them?

Man, Tim! You can sure Detail a Funny Car Chassis! Those are both so clear & sharp.

AMT '37 Chevy Coupe has one. The Blower Hat is garbage, but the rest of the Engine is nice. Monograms, 1/24 '39 Chevy Sedan, has a really sharp blown 427. The AMT Super Boss Chevelle has one. Here is the kit now.

What an Awesome Set of Vehicles , Pierre! I could look at this for hours, and still not see everything you did. Good Show.

And now this kit is in stores! Time for me to get one.

No! No we don't.

Not to my taste, but Cool! Is it still being Driven?

Awesome Backstory, Even Better Build! I really like projects like this and you nailed this one. Very Nice Work. Good Show.

Great Work on this Build, Bob. I like the detail work on the front end, and the decals. Good Show.

Very Sharp Ride. I miss Fred's Resin Workshop. Good Show.

Silk Purse>Sow's Ear!

I'll bring these back up. These would be great in a3D print.

I got a Revell 1950 Olds kit. Factory sealed. It had three Chrome trees, and a second set of tires. I sold the extra chrome trees, and kept the tires.

That is one of things I like least about getting old. Some Morning you become aware that some part of you is painful in a new, and exotic way. You don't remember what you did, or how you hurt it, but now it hurts and may stay that way for a few, (Hours-Days-Weeks-Months) No telling. Some times you do everything to treat it, and nothing works. Sometimes you ignore it, and a week later, and the pain is gone, and you are back to normal. Frustrating part of aging..... Get Well Soon.

How Horrible, Johnny. Good Luck.

That is truly horrible. I hope you can get everything checked out.

That Scout looks "Just Right"! Good Show.

In 1988 I inherited my Grandparents 1965 New Yorker. A big car, very smooth ride, huge trunk. That is the end of anything positive about it. Had a 383/Auto. Gutless wonder. It could cruise all day at 85mph. Which was a good thing, since it would take all day to get there. I was almost rear ended several times , by Semi Trucks when merging onto freeways. I'm not kidding, it would take 2 or 3 miles before it hit 65. I rebuilt the carb, couple of times, played with the timing, blew out the fuel lines, changed the fuel filter. Did everything I knew and took it to a couple trusted mechanics the Horseless Carriage Club. They were older guys then, and nothing they did could make it run any better. It had no 'miss',did not surge, just accelerated at a painfully slow pace. I sold it after a couple of years. It was just too frustrating to drive. In Town, it had no problems. It was only on the freeway that is had troubles, but I did a lot of freeway driving back then, between my apartment and my parents house.

Jaw Dropping Detail! Words Fail me....

Nice Work, Len! Like the story behind it.
