  1. Silly putty's yucky! 🤮
  2. 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.
  3. 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........
  4. Just thought I would dredge up this old OT, found randomly. But still applies for today, doesn't it? I was hunting down one of my completed builds, need to replicate an exhaust tip, a benefit of not getting banned from this forum.
  5. That's a killer build! 😳 Not just because I love purple, that's gorgeous. The sort of primer yellow cage, nice contrast. But I have to ask, what's with the headlights? I was also expecting a boozookoo or whatever the wild customs in Japan are called. I've used toggle switches from Top Studio. Wanted to do justice by more than the clicking of 👍.
  6. Work four letters. 🤢🤮🤧
  7. Sort of like the Ferrari Rainbow show car wheels.
  8. This really isn't much, but.... since I got the 3M polishing compound (about half used so far) to polish vehicle #3, and have used on #4, thought I would try to half--- polish the interior of #2. Can you see the difference? I assume it's nicotine and dust, the polish takes it right off. Redneck door keeper-opener. Like polishing the paint on a model, have to watch the corners and edges. Next weekend is the club's big show at Watson Lake. Trying to figure out what to enter, and if I should camp like last year.
  9. Oh okay, so cancel my post. 🤪 Today I craned my neck to polish half the ceiling of Blue Cloud. 🙃 Still no rain..... 💭
  10. Some more from today. Last century when I was going to college, carpooled with a guy who had exactly this, same color, to go ski at Snowbowl. Cold as you know what, he was switching the heat lever back and forth. I remember the ride more than the day of skiing. Love the bumpers.
  11. [...] she owns nine of the top 10 fastest Top Fuel speeds in NHRA history. [...] I just heard the term "cacklefest" at a cruise today, when numerous nitro burners that are parked, run at the same time. That was smokin' run!!! 😳
  12. This is an early Bruce Canepa customized Porsche. They did not cut any of the original car, the exhausts sweep around and end at the original tip. It's stealth all the way.
  13. Some left turn red lights are forever, so it's a great time spender. My first traffic light from home is a stupid "smart" light, many times I sit there with no traffic coming my way, both directions, then when a platoon gets close, the first cars run the red light. Bosa Donuts P.V. cruise, for some reason a bunch of Fords congregated. Cars & Coffee: One of three Cobras there. The only Task Force pickup: I built a 3D printed model of this truck, looks ready for paint! This C-10 Survivor has only FIVE THOUSAND+ miles, no rust anywhere, even behind the bumpers. The owner hunts down estate sales, to beat the used car dealers. Some interesting JDM and other imports: Now to find the Outlaw Porsche thread.....
  14. Just boring clear skies, no wind, at sunup it was almost chilly, then the sun did it's thing. 🌞
  15. Welcome! I've attended some GSL shows! Glad to make the last one, but my building completely halted.
  16. of Teddybear Cholla My dad was a NPS Ranger, had to rescue a moron who fell off a cliff and rolled through a cactus patch.
  17. Pleased I'm vertical and free of medical issues, listened to someone about his ordeal for like an hour, you never know. My Shipping Container got a custom transfer, since the County is always wanting to know the square feet of anything for a permit, and I skated on this, just for laughs I added that specification. It's about as close to modeling that I've done for awhile.
  18. Needed a pane of glass cut for a project. Went into the shop I have used before. The salesman, and woman cashier were busy with a potential client picking hardware out, they acknowledged me when I walked in, then I sat down. Waited, and waited, while the salesman and lady were looking, the cashier was watching them and doing nothing else. I just got up and walked out after a couple minutes, screw that! Second time now, the other time at REI, family signing up, I was absolutely ignored, so I put the hat back and walked out. Customer service is so lacking anymore. Another Irk, no rain.
