  1. Still disgusting outside by me. 77 F and 77% RH. I've been inside during the worst of the heat. I'm down to one small AC unit on the main floor. Last night at dusk, the pool was 83. I gave everything a good watering. I'll rinse-repeat within the next hour.
  2. Chevy dealers used to have steering column rebuild kits in stock. If your column shifting was going bad, the kit would get it going again. It was like gutting a fish 🐟... the entire column had to come out to install all the parts.
  3. One of my girlfriend's daughter's black cat, Mr. Beers. Last is my girlfriend's elusive Bleu with the more social Brie.
  4. Still disgusting out with the humidity at 92%. 73 F at 6 am... it may have rained a little overnight.
  5. I saw one on Instagram that was attached to a tree.
  6. It finally rained yesterday for a few hours. I did some food shopping and gardening before the rain. Today 73 at 6 am and super sticky, RH is 83%. I'll take a dip in the pool, feed some plants, go back into the AC and do some housework. Maybe some wash.
  7. You are off to a good start. I'd try to find some pictures with the hood up. Tiny Lund ran a similar class Camaro. Bobby Allison had a Mustang.
  8. I'm sure most Trophy Series kit engines have the same mounting points. I did put the '53 truck hemi in an AMT '32 Ford, do not recall if I used the '32 transmission or not. I've done a couple of other V8 swaps into the AMT '40 Ford. I had to use the '40 transmission.
  9. I've got some that are 20+ years being BACK IN THE BOX!! I lose interest, hit a block with something minor that derails me. I have around 25 stalled projects boxed up. Some are very close to completion.
  10. Ready for a Brie overload? This is one of my girlfriend's 2 cats. The other is less social.
  11. I was up in Rocky Point at a JR Steakhouse. I think it poured for 15 minutes, thunder but no wind. Smithtown I heard had severe weather and power outages. Back home on the south shore looked like it had a little rain.
  12. One of a very young Ivan playing on the kitchen floor.
  13. Me and my wife were given tickets 🎟 to one of his shows around 1984. Not our thing, but a good performance.
  14. 76 and still sticky out there. We went to the ocean yesterday for a few hours, a nice 10 minute ride. The water is warm and a tropical color. Back home we hit the pool and had some drinks. They been saying rain for days, and nothing.
  15. We had a letter carrier who constantly got the mail mixed up. I believe she got the axe 🪓 early this year. I put whatever I got in error back in the mail box with a post-it nite attached.
  16. We had a couple of days with low humidity, a nice break. Still no real rain that we really need. Besides the dead AC unit, we lost power yesterday for a few hours. I came inside for a beer... thought the 'fridge light burned out. Outside it was better than inside.
  17. I definitely want that one. He also has a Mustang bodied one, with an offset chassis.
  18. I will admit, I have a large styrene footprint. I buy a kit here and there if they are discounted or something I see at a show. At the NNL East, I wound up with 11 stock car donor kits, plus 4 3D printed stock cars. I jumped into buying 3D printed parts, etc a few years back. With summer I have slowed that down. Like others say, there are worse habits out there.
  19. 63 with an RH of 89%. I got some weeding done early and enjoyed the pool a few times yesterday.
  20. 65 F and muggy. AND my big 18k AC unit bit the big one yesterday. I'm putting a window unit in until I find a replacement. Still almost zero rain, we had 20 minutes last evening.
  21. Thanks. I'm down to choosing a chassis color and getting the roll cage ready to drop in.
  22. 69 F this morning and sticky... again. The forecast says rain... but no rain for about a solid week. I did some weeding early yesterday, gave up by 9 am and hit the pool. I went back out at 7pm and got it all done. I have to hand-water my veggies, the lawn sprinklers are not keeping up with the heat.
  23. This would be Ron Woodard from WFC Motorsports. Ron Coon sells some of his items on his site. The roll cages are hard to beat. Check back often, he does runs of other stock car bodies which are quite good.
  24. Mean Machine has some great wheels and tires. I shop Hooligan too, he also sells on eBay. Foggy Cypress on Etsy is also jaysresinwheels from eBay. Ron Coon sells there now and then.
  25. I have looked into lathes, agree that Sherline would be best for me. I'm holding off on buying one...it would engulf my summer quite easily.
