  1. Saw it this afternoon! Wife actually liked it too, was asking me questions about who and what afterwards. My mom saw it a few days ago, liked it. It appealed to "normal" people, which will make it survive as a good movie, expect some awards. The street scene when Shelby got in the 356 and did the u-turn, I noticed a Ford pickup that was modern street rod stance, but otherwise seeing period cars was cool. I would challenge the case of the Mercedes 190 sedan parked at the Ferrari factory, I grew up with one (picture), would have thought an Alfa Romeo sedan would be correct. Seeing the 275GTB and the California was fun. I didn't know race cars had speedometers. Otherwise don't have a reason to be critical. GO SEE IT!
  2. My dad had a '71 (first year of this style?), so I have a connection with these. I was a teen, thought the curved taillights were so modern. Look forward to seeing it done!
  3. before White Monday
  4. Forgot what I had for dinner, the important part was desert. I scratch-built pumpkin pie using a family recipe. I make the crust too, using root beer instead of water.
  5. soaked with Everclear
  6. Very nice to see one of these getting-rare kits built. I read your blog description, where do you get felt paper? Detail Master used to have it, but that was decades ago. I have a few of these kits, the promo chassis sure needs work, good to know about the '66. You did this justice, well done!
  7. the ex-wife's party
  8. Cool beans! ? These GMC kits are becoming gold-plated, nice to see one built.
  9. Just wanted to say he has super service! I needed just wheels for my GSL Beetle, and he helped me out. He had just relocated, so was not active at the time.
  10. Very nice workmanship! A favorite subject of mine too.
  11. ? Yea, I know right? Coming back much later can be shocking. Only because I owned a '48 rolling wreck last century, this is a favorite subject. I've thought of doing a dually, but also as a "club cab". I'll be watching, cheering you to the finish line!
  12. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
  13. Even though I'm into Tuners (to a degree), some of those are weird. What happened to the spinner wheels, and the ones with LEDs that create a design while you drive?
  14. Thanks, hope so! Finally resumed, wanted to kill two birds with one stone, vacuum-form part for the gas filler. I made a form out of Corian. I needed to produce my coke cooler handles, this fit in the corner. My vacuum-form tool uses an Oreck without the bag. Now I have room on the bench for my laptop. The cap is made from fat sprue rod, rolled on the file to make the knurled edge. Photo-etch ring with tiny sprue for detailing the cap. I also added piping to the convertible top part.
  15. spreading gravy over
  16. at pancake breakfast
  17. Welcome to my state!
  18. Think I took a picture of this car, when I was a kid, at Tucson Dragway. I'll have to look in the album, and take a picture to post.
  19. Woodstock Museum idea?
  20. How fast does it go? ?? Cool idea, will consider making my own.
  21. ? That cat meme has gone viral, nice adaptation.
