  1. And I managed to keep the full height of the grill and it doesn’t sit too high in relation to the body in my eye.🤓
  2. Well I had a bit of a conundrum about how to mount the radiator and grill. Moving the axle out in front of the frame rails creates a problem for both the grill and the steering system.🤯 At first I had the grill shaved and tucked in between the frame and axle. That left no space for the tie rod. The solution that I finally decided on was to move the grill out in front of the axle. Very limited suspension travel now, so I will have to avoid speed bumps.😬 I sectioned the kit radiator and mounted it backwards in the grill shell. Then I used thin CA to glue some fine mesh to a piece of.010” styrene sheet for the front of the radiator. The new setup leaves lots of room for the tie rod and whatever fan setup I decide on. Thanks for your Patience everyone.🥴
  3. ‘85 Plymouth Reliant?🤪
  4. Yep…’64-‘65, maybe more years?
  5. Plot your course carefully or you may get lost.
  6. Saying incorrect things intentionally will get you a lump of coal in your stocking.
  7. Obviously the penguin took the Caddy because it’s Climate Control AC blows ICE COLD!🥶 Edit: And yes, cordless phones used to be that big.😳
  8. Are any of you guys building models?🤔
  9. I like It!👍🤪
  10. I got this at Micheals. It would be just over 1/2” diameter in 1/16 scale.
  11. Nope. My bad Guys….that one is not stock.🥴 Here is the stock item. Edit: you might be right Carl. The inset portion may be Falcon?🧐
  12. Yet I find the weather invigorating.
  13. Here’s an easy one.
  14. Day started out a bit chilly this morning.
  15. I have the log hauler kit so I’m interested to see what you guys come up with.😎
  16. Nightmare on Elm Street had more than a few sequels.😵‍💫
  17. Around to it is something I’ve made a few of, and I like to hand them out when someone says they’ve never gotten around to it.
  18. I bought a new TV the other day. I went to hook up my Pioneer DVD player and find NO RCA inputs on the TV.🤯 They all use HDMI cables now because everything is digital.🤬 So it’s either buy an analog to digital converter or a new DVD player. The converter is cheaper, but the tray on my player won’t stay open, so I gotta be real quick to get the disc in or out….so I got a new blue ray DVD player.
  19. I have had bench squirrels steal parts.🤔
  20. Hidden or concealed details: “No one will see it but I’ll know it’s there”!
  21. That is a neat idea! Being styrene it could be glued right into the joint and the excess filed off after the glue has set. The brass or aluminum one has merit too…you could put a short slit in the end of the strip and bend one tab 90 degrees in each direction to avoid having to solder anything.
  22. That is looking great Jim!👍 That silicone tip tool is great for pushing BMF into script and emblems too…see I can read.🤓
  23. I picked this unopened kit at the flea market for $20. because I see it has a supercharged Lincoln engine as an option.😎 Anyone know if it is any good?
  24. I have similar set tweezers and it is the most precise one I have for picking up tiny parts or removing slivers.
