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. -
Ghost Kits - Shown But Never Released
Joe Handley replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
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. -
Lowrider-ish Narrow White Walls
Joe Handley replied to Joe Handley's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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! -

Lowrider-ish Narrow White Walls
Joe Handley replied to Joe Handley's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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. -
What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
Joe Handley replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
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. -
Ordered a new bed from Wayfair to replace the one I've had for a couple decades now and went to look into putting it together this weekend and they not only sent the wrong bed, but it's the wrong brand, name, and frame design.

At this point, that would be easier to refill.

Congrats Tom, I hit that number of the side of Richard Petty's and Ken Block's race cars the same day

I aways figure it this way, I could be getting lied to from either side, each one has a narrative to push and may overstate the good whileunderstating, if not hiding the bad while the other is hyping the bad and trying to scare me away from even looking at anything related to the other side of the coin, even if there are viable options out there.

Been thinking about buying one of these kits after running across this on Instagram................................
