[Read any good books lately?]

I'm in the process of reading "Cannonball" by Brock Yates and "American Muscle Supercars". It's all about the cars made by Yenko, Motion Performance, Mr. Norm and others.

Brock's last run

['30A Coupe w/ stock-type roof opening/Quick Change/Flathead Ford V8/10-6-16 nearly done....]

... Adding those sections along the edges of the roof opening would have required probably twice the time that I spent on the crossmembers ...

 

 

maybe too late with the interior installed vs risk on this one, but how about a wood color paint around the perimeter of the cut out? real tin isn't as thick as scale plastic, so it might not look completely out of place.

maybe the Disabled Modelers Group could auction off any kits and supplies which they won't be using and send the proceeds?

Yeah. Just put up a response based on ignorance, misunderstanding, or pure uninformed conjecture.

see how easy it is to have somebody else do the heavy lifting?

[Does CA glue go bad??]

Super glues are meant to air dry, so every time you open the tube/bottle/whatever, a bit of air gets in and starts the drying process. I have several large bottles and recently found they dry out. I switched to small tubes of Gorilla Super Glue. 

i think most CA type glues are anaerobic

[What Pleased You Today!]

It's been my experience in the past that it's rare to find a car shop where you can leave your toolbox open overnight and expect to have all your stuff the next day.

I just went back to work today, after having been out since August 1. Not a single thing missing at either shop. 

The crews both have a wide age range and varied ethnic and demographic backgrounds. Not a thief or "borrower" in the whole bunch.

I'm a lucky man to be working with them.  

do you have any idea what you just exposed?

i understand the numbers are battered about, and that american lives are more important that any other nationality.

9/11 casualties - about 3,000

iraq war civilian casualties - 155, 000 - 174,000

we should set aside a day for them, too

That should really resonate with you.

i'm not the morbidly obese individual who can't do a full day's work, either. maybe stop posting 40 posts a day on multiple internet forums complaining how stupid everyone else in the world is, and eating pastrami sandwiches so that you could finish multiple projects for rich clients enhancing your portfolio in order that you, and your 40 year old milling machine, could move to beautiful N,S,E, & W Arizona and enjoy the sunsets and sunrises? just a thought. don't forget to take your advil.

read around some of the other posts in the off-topic forum and ponder if things would be different with some sound dietary advice and a little exercise.
