Excellent. Love the color!

I was always interested in the little Airfix kits. Was surprised to see the 1982 Camaro has 2 piece tries. Wasn’t expecting that.

And the AT&T HomeBase is basically a hot spot that works the same as others mentioned above. Off the cell towers. It was originally for people who traveled in motor homes so they had internet and phone service where ever that traveled. I get unlimited calls and 250 GB each month for $74.00 which is amazing. I heard a year or so after I got ours they dropped the data amount to 25 BG a month and giving you the option to buy more as needed. I'm going to ride it out and see what happens. I figure they are now loosing money with this system and that is why they are phasing it out. Hopefully we'll have another option coming. Can't go back to Frontier which I was a customer for 34 years until I found out about the HomeBase. You use to see a parking lot full of worker's cars at their headquarters here in Johnstown. Now there are maybe 3 or 4 cars there on any given day. And all along the country roads are their green boxes sticking up out of the ground which house electrical connections and most are totally destroyed. Some are duck taped together. Some are wrapped in a plastic bag. One even has a traffic cone on top I guess to keep the rain out. A neighbor still has Frontier because the only other option for us is something like the home base and they didn't change. I asked him if Frontier Internet has it gotten any better? He said it's like watching paint dry. Ugh!

Oh. And thank you Bill Ace-Garage guy. You nailed it. ?

Starlink is too costly. $600 set up fee and $120 a month. Plus I don't want to support Elan Musk. I don't like him. Hughsnet and Viastat also too expensive. From what's dug up on them it's over $100 a month. Just for internet. I've checked all the other mobile phone companies in my area and they say just keep checking in as we may expand into you area. I did a search or the cell towers and haven't been able to find out who owns the one I can see from my kitchen window. A young man from Spectrum came to the house and I saw the direction he came from. From the East my house. He said I am 1.5 miles from the last house on my roads so no. I tried to explain to him that if he came down the road from the West to my house. I'm 3 houses, 1000 feet, from the last house with Spectrum. He wouldn't hear of it. He said I'm 1.5 miles from the last house. Anyhow. I got a quote from Spectrum for... Are you ready?... $30,000. Maybe the person at AT&T jumped the gun telling me my service was getting axed. She did say I was grandfathered in. If it's going to happen. Let it be. Will it be this year or 5 years down the road. Who knows. I'm 68 and can barely operate my cell phone. LOL! I have Raynaud's disease so the finger touch thing doesn't really work for me. I had to erase and reset my cell phone to factory specs last night because for some reason. The phone suddenly goes straight to voicemail. Which I know nothing about. Never set voice mail up. The reason I won't put "bill pay" or what ever on my cell. Too much info for someone to snatch. Had something similar happen getting my Mac mini fixed at the Apple Store. They had to erase and re-install the software on it because I tried doing an update and the connection was so slow it disconnected half way through the update. That was my local phone service when that happened. Anyhow. Got home. Got an email from Amazon asking if I just spend $150 in China. Called Amazon and told them know. I was hacked in the Apple Store while they were working on my Mini. But I now have other things that are going on in my life that makes loosing my internet the least of my priorities. I can live without it. Pay bills my mail. Call and talk to someone on the phone instead of sending a message or an emojis. When I get the time I'll certainly read everything posted here. I have enough time each day to see what people finished building and look at. Then off to take care of the "priority" in my life. Those who know will figure that out as I don't want to go into it right now. Just hoping Dana Farber is in our future. Thanks for the suggestions guys. As Snake says. Model On! ?

Thank you Glen, Ray and Doyle.

This has been on the table for a while for various reasons. But it's done. I could not decide on convertible or hardtop. Hardtop won out. Maybe a convertible in a different color? Or same color with white interior as a convertible.

You need no excuse. This is awesome Manuel.

Dave. Please send me your phone plan. There is a cell tower about an 8th of a mile behind our house but can not find out what carrier it is.

Thank you guys. :-)

Hey guys and gals. Don't know how much longer I'll be able to access this site seeing AT&T decide to do away with the Homebase system we need for internet and phone. So my days might be numbered and I'll no longer be here. There is no other options. But it's been wonderful being here. Hopefully they change their minds
