Welp, I just broke down and ordered one of these with a package of the extra nesting trays, should be in on Tuesday! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Presto-Dehydro-Digital-Electric-Food-Dehydrator/45074199 Quick edit, got a notification that it arrived today!

New Pics! Look at this smile!

It probably wouldn't have made it past '73 anyway and into a 4th generation. You're right with that being all for the better too, automotive styling in this country took a nosedive after '74 and never truly recovered until the 80's.

No arguement from me there Bill, here's February of 2011 for us, and 2014 was either this, or sub zero, all..winter..long!

Lol, Thanks! I may be old enough that I like won't have a chance to be a Dad myself, nut you do have to be careful with such purchases, those can always comback to bite you if their parent has the money once you have a kid?ffrom Luckily when Mom did that to her oldest living sister back in the 60's, who then vowed revenge when on her when she became a Mom, my Aunt didn't have the money to return the favor when I was born! All that said, a good friend from when I worked at the local HTU have already been conspiring with me to get her into R/C Cars and I want to get her interested in models too.....I'm still hoping that Revell can do a Cruze Ramirez or Sally Carrera snap kit....if not both some day! Both parents are artistic, her father builds Gundams as well, both grandfathers have turn wrenched and driven trucks and Dad spent decades in the railroad industry, then she is still part Handley, so there will be a natural interest in such things there anyway. This will be an interesting journey from here on now, no matter how things go.

Thanks Bucky, at this point I'm set for this project, but will keep those in mind if I need any other white walls!

Sounds like she hasn't been the least bit fussy at this point either! They have a room for the next couple nights and Dad and I will be able to go and visit them tomorrow, then they should be going home on Monday.

Here she is, and all of 2 hours old too:)

Thanks!

No pics yet, but the baby is here, 8lbs 15.9oz, 21.5" long, and lots of very black hair, she was born at 12:14pm today!

Thanks, we 're still on Baby Watch 2019 too.

Thanks! We're keeping our fingers crossed, haven't heard anything from the BiL yet. When Mom had me, it was 29 hours and this little girl was estimated to weight more 2-3 weeks ago than I did at birth, plus she's my Sister's first. Then, during her last Doctor's appointment a few days ago, he thought a C-Section might be needed!

Outside of the big Buick, no interest here either.

Thanks Dave, we're still waiting on the news, for my Sister's sake, I hope she's not the procrastinator I was/am So far today, my friend in Michigan with the 3 cats, an also pregnant co-worker and all of Mom's relatives in Iowa other than her baby sister have been checking in all day long too!

Thanks Tom!

My Sister and her husband checked into the maternity ward of the local hospital last night and the doctor induced her labor.......been waiting on a text stating that my little Niece has been born all morning and all is good

I wonder what ever happened with the Bulletnose Stude and '49 (I think) Olds kits that were supposedly in the works when RC2 aquired Ertl. HTU had a skew for the Stude in there system at one time, but I have no idea if it still is since I never looked into it after the changeover to the SMART point of sale from the one they were using when I started working there in '01.

I found a few when researching this idea, but no C2 Vettes, just C1, C3, and C4 that was built in Japan. The X-Sonic Corvette Show Car was supposedly the first car to use hydraulics for altitude adjustment......mainly as a way for the owner who was a teen or young adult at the time to keep a cop that liked to ticket him for anything he could find........altitude was a particular favorite though, to reduce the tickets he got on the car when it was still a street going custom!

Thanks Steven, I'll keep those in mind for other projects, turns out those Sovereigns w the shorter narrow white walls are going to be right on the ?

I thought about that too, but was concerned about the smaller rim diameter since the kit wheels look like they should be 15's. I did find one of the sets of Pegasus "Sovereign" wheels I had mentioned though! Think I'm going to throw them on real quick to see how they look.

I may be in need of some Lowrider-ish narrow stripe whitewall tires to fit the 5 Spoke wheels from the AMT '63 Stingray Coupe. I've found that just the Pegasus tired don't fit and might otherwise just use the whole Astro Supreme style wheel and tire, but would like to keep it as "box stock" as possible, wheels included. Thanks!

Does the three picture thing still exist over there?

Picked these up at Hobby Lobby to try out........and yes, that is the right pricing! Bought some Galaxy Purple last time I was there, but that's upstairs right now.

I noticed what Noel said in the last few I've read, I stopped going on their and buying the magazine after the editor they had at the time lambasted somebody (a young builder too, IIRC) for taking the Revell Civic Si kit and made it RWD with the A-833 and 8 3/4" from a B-Body kit.

Picked these up for the 200, non scratching, full high grade silicone and fits the plates like a cell phone cover and doesn't cover anything important while in use.
