Little Timmy

500 ( Cadillac)

Of mice and men is a book I never read.

Looks just Like something grandma would drive to town to get groceries, .... then blow your doors off at the traffic light ! Nice job ! ? ?

Sorry, I have the 1989 stock car version.

I might have those parts. Let me look. I'm actually at home for a change. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Could you be a bit more specific ?

? ( got you covered ...)

Money was something I didn't understand when I was 5 years old, so I got some Green paper and drew my own 5 dollar bills. ( couldn't get any of the stores to accept them though .... guess I forgot to print " legal tender for all debts public and private" ... )

Vice grips have saved me quite a few times In the middle of nowhere Idaho, my radiator in my 1976 Olds cutlass blew apart. ( I didn't know they could actually blow apart, but there it was, one big pile of shrapnel. ) I walked a few miles and actually found an old junkyard. The only car on the lot that had an almost usable radiator was a 1969 buick. I purchased the radiator, and walked back to my car. The "new to me " radiator didn't have a separate hose mounting for my cars heater. So I took the hose that went from my heater to the radiator, and clamped it off using a pair of vice grips ... then drove the 300 miles home. I also had a Honda 350 motorcycle that I used a pair of vice grips as a gear shift lever. Drove it that way for 2 or 3 years.

Partake in this sentence game long enough, and you will find yourself trying like crazy to stump the next guy by ending your sentence with an impossible word like craptacular.

Depleted Uranium?!?!?!? Woa, hold on there a minute. This is a "Night Fighter " ... ( you wouldn't want to give away your location because your plane is glowing in the dark... )

Agent Orange doesn't tast anything like an Orange !

The figures kinda remind me of the Blue Man Group.

This is , ... interesting ??? I have to follow along , just to see what a Cadillac in space looks like. I was going to suggest you make it a bubble top, but that would leave very little to identify it as a Caddy.

Nice job so far ! I seem to recall that I installed some weights under the pilots floorboards. ( I may be confusing this kit with another airplane.... glue fumes you know ... )

Several years ago a group of scientists conducted a " study " to see how long it takes a housewife to take an egg out of a refrigerator and place it on a counter. After 3 months of study, they concluded that it takes 3 seconds . The cost of the study ( paid for with a government grant) $385,000 That's in 1950s dollars. I could have done it for $5 .

At 200 mph and over, I think just keeping it on the road would break both your arms...

1970 was the year that Black Sabbath released their first album, self titled Black Sabbath.

1860's Studebaker's also included a chuck wagon .

It appears that perspective dissapears at the horizon.

Flavor I like best is Butterscotch.

Reality was kinda "fuzzy" during my highschool years.

Somewhere over the rainbow . ? ? ? ? ?

Sorry to respond so late. I don't have any pictures of the last three I built, but I do have a few shots of the one still laying on my bench ... for the last 6 years... And, I had some help .... very little help... Didn't mean to hijack your build thread. I'll go sit in the corner now... and observe from afar.

60's hot rods were what inspired me to build models.
