  1. Band hails from Massachusetts. Barbara plays a mean guitar, this song seems poignant today. ROCK IT!
  2. 7/4 Shoreline. An odd time signature, 7/4. And just because............................................................................................................................................................................................................. Why not.
  3. for the metal heads, I still listen to this album regularly. It keeps me, well.............................................................................................................................?
  4. Hopefully not Obscure, But Pauline Black and the Selector are always fun. Saw the "Beat" and most of those ilk back in the day, BUT this band just brought it! Ladies and gentlemen introducing "The Selecter" !!!
  5. Thanx JC... the perfect soundtrack for my day. Still working on those Mustang rear quarter wheel arches. ??
  6. Dave... What do you mean by "Statuses and their responses"? what I saw sure looked like the persons PM replies to others. I didn't take the time to read them because none of my business. Oh, I think you are saying that their latest posts show up below the message sent?
  7. So... that speedo kinda went to eleven. Still the question, is it ok to paint over Elmer's glue? ?
  8. OK, I just sent a PM to someone here and after sending it I could see their past PM's to other members. (Don't worry Jim, I didn't read any.) But why the heck could I see that!!! Maybe just a bug on my side but troubling nonetheless.
  9. Jim, I'll dig them out of the storage and take some pics.
  10. Having "vintage shots from days gone by" on the HAMB. AND... "T.G.I.F." on Vonskip 24/7 autoholic, to check out every Friday. That's how I start my weekend.?
  11. In Wayzata Mn, where my brother lives. A house on a big lot sold to a builder who planned on putting up two houses on that very expensive Lot. Only problem, a giant Maple tree that HOA wouldn't allow cutting down. His answer, POISON IT! The jerk actually got away with it. Evidence against him was good, but it was not worth the fight ( $$ 's ). The builder had more pull than town hall, go figure.
  12. Tom... Thanx for adding that tip to my thread. Always Intersting learning new (to me)techniques. And the sharing of information here on the forum. So if I understand correctly, it is safe to prime and paint over Elmer's glue? Messed around with Plastic Wood long ago LOL ? Had the adhesion qualities of Vaseline and the properties of Chutney.?
  13. I purchased two sets of those. Total disappointment.? Yes, I realize the date of this post. ^ Carroll's cars where truly inspirational. Would be nice if they were brought out of his attic and restored back to there original beauty.
  14. When I was a teenager I had a dream my sister asked to borrow some money. (she later claimed she had a cogent conversation with me about it.) I woke up Thinking it was just a dream and was really teed off when I discovered she had robbed me blind. Also learned I talk in my sleep.? Glad that's not a recurring one, I'd be broke by now.
  15. Wouldn't Canopy glue or Aleene's Tacky adhesive be an alternative? Just a thought.
  16. I'm sure you're aware, but this thread on the HAMB is a goldmine of inspiration/information. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-induction-thread.1042950/ Proly some vintage pics of what your creating included in that thread. ?
  17. Hey Kevin, help is out with a picture or two of the style your looking for.?
  18. Lookin good Mike. I think I saw a thread of yours on the HAMB. Is this a legs under chassis? ?
  19. Thanx guys... I ended up using the milliput . Quick, easy and my preference these days until something tells me different. Masked off the surrounding area w/tape for the initial rough sanding. Here is how it looks. Will need further fine sanding and a new slight flair added. I modified some Polar Lights funny car wheels to fit Revell's K S pitman H&M slicks. Undecided on the front wheels.
  20. Thanks Dennis and Francis Taking a break from tiny details to spent some time on the body. Added a grill fill as would be seen on some fiberglass front ends. Here it is w/my Manifold I mastered , cast by Norm at R&M. Had to lengthen the hood opening to fit the new engine blower arrangement (have know idea what I'll do about the bonnet). Details, details. While working on the body, I thought I would try to fix the wonky rear wheel openings on the AMT kit. I know they bug everyone else, and Snake especially LOL. I was trying to give myself reason not to take this on, and it my bite me in the a**. Glued in some strips of 0.010" styrene. The backside will have to be filled in above the strip on the inside, epoxy and micro balloons or milliput. haven't decided yet. Either way by the time I sand off this oversized lip moulded into the body it will most likely break into the gap above the wheel opening.?
  21. Thanks John... Not a being a Facebook user myself, is there any other way to get info?
  22. A bit of fun. Crank It Up!
  23. I looked and looked, I'm with you, those coils are probably hidden out of sight. From these two pics you should be able to deduce the plug wiring and firing order.
  24. Oh, ya gave it away?. I see some styling cues from other brands that make it interesting.
  25. What is that? I like it . mabye save for future quiz.
