stolen from museums

[...] Rolling stock is from a Fujimi Kit [...] Fujimi would make a mint selling the tires alone, no wheels. Like what comes with the Ferrari Daytona, the Pirelli *centario?* pattern for example. Should be a Scale Discount Tire somewhere...... Nice choice of color, fits the car well.

Geez man, let him rest on this accomplishment! 😅 I'm feeling guiltier for having one in the box still. Very nice build!

No worries! If you did, you would have to take over the dining room table. My icon picture is a diorama, if I properly scaled the distance between car and building in a painting where the artist took liberties, it would have been another foot of nothing but pavement. Looks great!

Some of us in the Prescott Antique Auto Club are going to have fun with this, I will help make it the running joke. I've experienced gully washers in August, but absolutely nothing this year. Some members got it changed to June next year, because....... This morning I was shivering while driving with the windows down, it was awesome. Add no traffic, and the cop already went by. Of course wildfires are burning elsewhere than Grand Canyon's North Rim, which is north and a little east of me so the wind blows that away. Now that I see this picture enlarged, Ravens are lifting off the thermals. Then the oven door was opened. Does everyone in your area ignore those white signs? 🤔

I worked at rapid scheduled disassembly of the Prescott Antique Auto Club's Info/Water booth starting at daybreak. Some from yesterday, I didn't take many pictures because I'm quite frankly tired of having thousands of pictures I never look at again. 🙄 At the end of Sunday I abandoned my post, and sat under a tree with some local friends, four in the shade were born in Arizona (includes me) which is like winning the loto nowadays. First up, Jerome pulled their first Engine out of their museum. The last club president is now their Police Chief, he asked for some participation. The club owns the Prescott Ladder Truck #1 that they restored. Later one of two modern Engines parked, with a bunch of other L.E.O. I *had to* photo bomb this booth, second year. The Advanced Design won Best Truck on Sunday, and I'm sure that Bus got something, but I was too busy to attend the VW award ceremony, even though I helped repair some trophies. Charter PAAC Member Pat with his Johnny Cash truck, RV rear end, GMC frame, something else front axle, International power take-off winch, an assembly of Chevy body parts, phone truck rear. Plows through mud if needed. Gets 7 MPG no matter what. The Ford pickup has been in his family from the beginning. Who knows how old that trailer is, but I took files to the mickey moused door deadbolt while waiting for something, works much better so I had fun watching the guys use it.

Fire Department clowns

I would park next to it, and say Gumball. But today it was VWs. My Chopper is great for checking out a show in less time. I was working, so didn't take many pictures, there were three Things there. Local LEO showed up, the previous club president got hired onto the Jerome police department, so he called for some support. Deduct concours points for the dirty armored glass. Camaro got Best Modified award Sunday. I expected to be just another entrant, not to get anything. So different than a model contest. 🤪

Just boring clear skies, no hint or tease of "Monsoon" activity. The car club is moving next years show to June, because it always rains in August. 🙄 It was hot after 9 am.

run by trainees

Oh no...... I feel like I should get offended by this OT, like it's an attack on my Shipping Container. 🙄 😂 My first question, this to stop ClimaChange®?

monster bungee cord

What pleased me, is being involved with the auto club more than ever. I think of one Charter member as a dad, mine passed last century and I still think about him. It helps to have father figures in your life. Being one is way harder. 😅 This weekend is our big car show, I know people, could park Fakerri overnight here. Normally no way. Blue Cloud is running like a champ, helped with set-up. Paid off getting up before the sun, to get a primo parking spot to keep an eye on while working the Water booth. Didn't get much time to watch spectators.

Drove it to the show, so this counts. I did quick laps to see the show to take a break. I didn't get to really look at some nice vehicles, but you get the idea.

Need I say more? 🌞🔥 I'm like the co-chair of Water, as in distributing water and ice to the other volunteers out in the sun. My booth is under an awning, and I *have to* grab water bottles out of the ice chest, it's rough. Next year the Board decided to have it in June, because it never rains (which is the only rain we got so far), and always rains in August. 😅

Because we have free run of Watson Lake Park, I took advantage of the band stage to take a picture. Finally, four months later, Fakerri brakes work properly! Blue Cloud is not needing attention, great workhorse. GYMEE has to wait.

Slaw reduction surgery?

Anyone want this Model T? $11,000. Has a Trophy Truck spare tire mount, and a shipping trunk. I took a quick look after getting set-up.

very tall, counting

My mistake, eyes didn't see Hasagawa. Now I "need" one of these kits too now.

by contract on

Silly putty's yucky! 🤮

Those are nice kits, other than the motorized chassis and no engine. Nice color choice! Never heard of M3 Models before, the center of the lug nuts is a nice touch. I would think these would be more popular, since they copied Mustang. I built this Celexus doing a body swap with a Lexus, kind of overkill.

This weekend is the Prescott Antique Auto Club's 50th show! I'm diving in full effort this year, never helped out from the very beginning. These are member's cars, so they of course run perfectly, and are on the road. Charter member has the GMC truck, he helped move my dad's International bus with that. My first vintage vehicle was a '48 5 Window, so of course I love this, the patina is perfect, and the chrome "sergeant stripes" (I call them streaks) are really cool. Today (Thursday) I was out at Watson Lake early to get "my" water booth awning up (it's really for the Information and raffle booth), this Rat Truck is interesting. I should start a new OT of the show........
