Little Timmy

Just stick a fully blown 426 in there ..... You know you want to ...

They just make a classy car, more classy.

Hard candy , Butterscotch is my favorite, ice cream too. Gum , Wrigley's Juicy Fruit Regular candy bars, Twix . As a kid I had a thing for chocolate moon pies . But they changed their recipe and they don't taste like they use to ( or my tastebuds changed , ... they were good when I was 10 .) Adult beverages, Jim Beam Black label. ( I only mention this because I use to go through it like it was candy .... ah , highschool ..)

I was bucking bales of Alfalfa when I was 7 .made $5 a day . Had my own paper route when I was 11 . The other kids would screw around and didn't take it seriously so I ended up with 4 routes I turned into One large route. Never had an allowance. I spent my own money on the usual car Mags, model kits, heavy metal records, and clothes. ( I quickly learned that just because your friends bought expensive clothes doesn't mean they were quality clothes. I was only "trendy" for a few months in 1977. )

I discovered ( by accident ) that transmission fluid cleans up an engine pretty good . Kept the fenders shiny too ...

Just completed a trade with JerseeJerry55 . No problems at all ,I got what I wanted , hopefully he got what he wanted too.

Earthquakes are the least of my worries, it's that 6 lane Highway going south that has my attention.

Chimpcanic you say ???

Lately I have been spending $1500.00 on a whole car. It seems everything on cars has gotten stupid . Just had to tear half of my engine apart, AND JACK THE ENGINE UP, just to replace a starter. Man I miss the older cars ( pre 1978) I could easily changeout parts on my 75 Cadillac. Plenty of room to work.

If there is anything authentic in this film ... it's totally by accident.

That's a paper model ? Wow ! Nice job !

Naw, that's more organized than my workshop. I would post pictures of mine, but I can't even get in there right now.

I had the Sonny & Cher Mustangs. I built them terribly, and they suffered a gasoline and firecrackers untimely demise. If I could go back in time, ... I would punch myself in the face . Repeatedly !!!

Sugar is one of the 4 primary food groups,... at least it is in my reality.

That's just it. I tried to use my warranty, but they said it's not covered for rock damage. There was a W H O L E very heated argument about it. I was using it for its intended purpose, but apperently just looking at it voids the warranty.

I have turned my shop upside-down and no luck. I can't find them. I'm sorry

Their in stock at my local Hobby Lobby. I'm going to wait for their 40% off week and buy 2

I made the mistake of buying an Earthquake garden tiller. Used it for a few days and then it torqued itself on a fist sized rock. Cracked the transmission housing into 5 pieces. The internal gears and other parts are just fine. Turns out the transmission housing is made from a cast "pot metal". Not weldable. The new transmission is $ 418. I can't just keep the gears and get a new housing, they only sell the transmission complete. The tiller new was $ 499.

A long time ago, in a hobby shop far, far away ( and closed for at least the last 20 years ) I purchased a fret of seatbelts for a Monogram stock car. ( I don't remember which one. ) If Nascar type seatbelts are what you need, please give me a day or Two to remember where the heck I squirreled them away. ( I believe there were 4 identical sets so enough for 4 seats. )

Been there, done that. I feel your pain. My last kidney stone had to be surgically removed.

When I first started smoking a pack cost about 85 cents. Gas was about the same and I remember sometimes trying to decide if I needed cigarettes , or gas in my motorcycle. Two years ago I tried to quit smoking because I was going to have an operation. The doctor told me the nicotine in my system would hinder bone growth. So I managed to quit ... for 7 days. I ended up in the emergency room for something totally unrelated and am attempting to reschedule my surgery. In the meantime, I decided that $8 a pack ( per every 2 days ) was just throwing money away. So I figured out that if I went to the duty free store, (I live right on the border with Mexico ) I could get an entire carton of cigarettes for $15. The downside, I have to actually walk across the border and back to get them. It takes me about 35-40 minutes to walk around and walking for me has become an issue. Now I'm seriously considering just how bad do I really want the cigarettes. The walking is killing me, ... the cigarettes are killing me ...

I took an aviation course in highschool, I can fly myself .... now, who can I borrow an airplane from ???

I refuse to pay the extra fee just to get a gold star on my license ! This is just as stupid as the banks charging you $5 to cash a check from another bank. They claim the fee is to discourage fraud. HA! If I was a guy with a fraudulent check I would happily pay the $5 to cash a $5,000 check. There is NO difference between a real ID and a regular license. You need the same documentation to get either, why charge an extra fee just to prove what you already proved ? " oooooh look" ." I got a gold star" "Dont I feel special" Ok... rant over .

The year, ...1971. I had been building snap together kits for about a year. ( don't remember exactly in what order but there was a green funnycar by Monogram, and I think a snap together Tijuana Taxi. ) But on my 5th birthday I received an AMT 56 Ford. I brush painted the car Royal Blue, but left the doors unpainted White. I failed to remove the plastic sprue x that was in the door opening ( I thought it was part of the rollcage. ) and couldn't figure out why the doors wouldn't close, so I displayed the car with them open. I also had no idea that the air scoops were NOT supposed to be glued directly onto the hood. I then took some binder re-enforcement rings and painted them Red, Yellow, Green and left a few white. I then glued them all over the car. When I was done the car looked like it had been involved in a bad accident with a "Froot Loops" truck. I recently acquired the exact same kit from the same re-release, so I have a chance of doing it right this time. This car WILL be perfect this time !
