I have one in the works. Even with the kit chassis, it builds up nicely.

I hit the one in Selden NY on route 25 the other day. Got the AWB Chevelle and Bronco kits, $19.99 & $15.99.. not really cheap. Loads of Ivo kits. '57 Vettes, those lousy Camaro and Corvette kits. Tons of big rig stuff.

Or go the other way... the machines that make the BIG machines.

6061 and 2024 are the best to work with. Check out McMaster Carr, they are pretty reasonable. I plan on getting a lathe next year and will stock up on whatever fits my collets. Bigger stuff like 3/8" and up goes into the chuck.

I was talking about hang-up calls i get often on my land line with my alarm people. She said they are fishing around to see what calls go through and which do not. Very few leave a message on that phone.

That is the one!

I ran a Nova for 2 seasons, mainly at Islip Speedway. The division was loaded with them. I ran the car with a big and a small block engine.

There is an alternate resin body for it I've seen on eBay. A post body IIRC. I think it's the vendor who sells the Freemont Racing items.

I have gotten a few calls this year so far. Now that open enrollment is supposedly over... maybe they gave up on me? I must be on someone's 💩 list by now.

I've had/have more BACK IN THE BOX!! projects than I like to admit. But time has been good with some of those hidden gems. Better products emerge, my skills improve and I might see something that kick starts the project again.

Thanks! I shot the forks with Duplicolor chrome paint. I might try the Revell spray over that. One of the engines I separated the cylinder barrels which made them easier to detail.

I tell them that I am 33 and still working every day! I used to work on my repertoire of swear words with them, insult their heritage and make nasty inferences about their sisters and barnyard animals.

Too bad all the surgery will be covered up at the end. Maybe start a book to go with it, if you go to contests?

I dug these out as I'm moving my model area in the house. I started them 3 or 4 years back. Since then, things like the chrome spray and AK pens have come out. I'm getting close to doing the control cables and other fun stuff.

If someone runs at your car... put your helmet back on and let them punch it.
