Great how-to-do-the-do. I’ve often wondered if zee-ing the frame is sometimes done unnecessarily. Thanks for this, Bill.

Convicts working on roadside crews might be quick to catch the nightstick should the guards find them engaged in too much palavering.

Oil smoke from Econoline vans is meant to distract you from noticing that every single one you get behind on the highway is running 6” out of alignment.

Line those fried green tomatoes up with some jalapeño pimento cheese grits and hit it with a little Sriracha Ranch then dump that Skyline chili spaghetti mess in the trash.

“Not these days…”, a lot of folks utter as they shake their heads morosely.

Execution of elocution can project vivification.

Desired results require passionate effort.

“Ago” is a tough word with which to begin a sentence unless you do something cheesy, like putting it between quotations.

Varmints are given no quarter on one’s property when farming and livestock are one’s livlihood.

Two bushy birds in a stone hand… or something.

1970 was the year of the AFL-NFL merger.

Perplexity and confusion aside, thinking things out usually brings me a sense of accomplishment.

Respirator filters from WWII era masks were made from asbestos, so, how’s that for irony?

Went to the local weekly farmer’s market with the missus this morning and parked beside this gorgeous 318 “semi hemi” powered ‘60 Dart Phoenix. Had the good fortune of speaking with the owner’s son. Turns out it’s a one owner car wearing a 15 year old restoration.

Patented designs and formulas seem to be the common, key selling point amongst late night infomercials.

Is anyone here into antidisestablishmentarianism?

That darn cat!

For me, it boils down to subject matter. My stash probably has at least one kit by every manufacturer. Every kit manufacturer has it’s own quirks that I know I’m going to have to deal with. MPC: The bench will probably be covered in flash and styrene dust before it’s all said and done. AMT: I’m more than likely going to fill a hole thru the engine block and rework the front suspension. Moebius: Installing the glass will require a dexterous, surgical touch. Etc, etc. i have a few curbside kits that I plan to cut open for customization (Atlantis ‘57 Caddy, AMT ‘59 Imperial and ‘64 Merc) but I tend to stay away from curbsides. Some of my favorite building experiences and (I say this humbly) best looking models have been MPC “trash” kits or other kits deemed challenging enough for some to avoid like the plague like the Revell ‘59 Skyliner. The parts count on a particular kit has no influence on whether or not I’ll purchase it. That said, sometimes I’m in the mood to deal with a bazillion parts and sometimes I’m not (looking at you, Testors Porsche 356.)

New Coke was an unforgivable sin.

“Up on Cripple Creek, she sends me, if I spring a leak, she mends me.”

Moral character is revealed in the way in which one treats others regardless of how much scripture he or she is able to recite.

“Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner’s pay, mommy scrubbed our clothes on the wash board ever’ day.” (RIP Loretta)

Irrelevancies and personal perspectives are the things that prevent firsthand accounts that may be very well true from being the “truth.”

Shines like a new coin, brass does, if you mix Brasso and Zippo fluid and apply plenty of friction and elbow grease.

Very cool idea and super nice execution!
