Hotrod 97

Here's my current fleet. A 1997 Ford F-150, 2008 Ford Escape, and 2016 Ford Escape. Guess it's pretty obvious that I'm a Ford guy, huh? ?

Saw some interesting stuff while running some errands today. What kind of trailer is that in the 2nd pic down?

Not typical, but still model related. I got a plastic tote to store some stuff from the workbench.

How about these: 1. I, I'm a one way motorway I'm the one that drives away Then follows you back home I, I'm a street light shining I'm a wild light blinding bright Burning off alone 2. Next thing you know Lord, I'm in the band We come from East Texas, a river bottomland Harder than a Bois d'Arc tree, too drunk to stand With cowboy hats and old guitars and Copenhagen cans

I got to watch a pretty good NASCAR race today. 500 miles around 'Dega in the Cup cars. Lots of tight drafts, couple of rivalries, and plenty of action. Also, saw a rainbow after a thunder shower blew through this evening. Not sure if it'll show up in the picture or not, but it's worth a shot.

I'd drive one of those. Anyone know if they're drivable in the U.S.? Anyways, how about the ugly, hideous, fast, winning LeMons race car that is the Eyesore Racing Mazda Miata.

Same here. Best wishes to both of you.

Nice lookin' Plymouth. Very detailed, too.

I took a little stroll down the diecast aisle at Walmart today. Not much there, but I did find some Hot Wheels Mystery Models. The '55 Chevy is the "chase car" of the current MM series. And I collect Hot Wheels Bone Shakers, so of course I had to add one to the collection.

Hmm...looks so familiar, like I've seen one of these at a car show or somethin'. Looks cool. Not quite sure what it is.

Welcome, David!

As I mentioned a little while ago, I’m taking a break from the workbench for a bit. I have a decent stash of both rattle can and 1/4-1/2 oz bottle paints that I want to hold on to until I start building again. Some of them have never been used. What would be the best way to store them until I’m ready to use them again? TIA

Nice cleanup! Shined up paint and chrome, but still has that “survivor” vibe. Great job!

That is one sharp custom - nicely done!

Sweet ‘Stangs! Nice choice of color combos!

Nice, clean Bug!

Cool ol’ pickup truck! Color combo looks nice with the whitewalls!

Let’s see if anyone can get this one. Hint: it’s by a young singer-songwriter who was on a competition TV show. Your love is faded It's faded as your jeans You don't love me anymore But you won't leave Keep trying to make you happy But it gets harder and harder I keep on giving my love It's like you don't even want it I can't keep it up anymore I'm gonna walk out that door It's like you don't even care anymore

A rather unique concept car. The 2010 Saleen S5S Raptor.

Did you hear about the man who lost his entire left side? He’s all right now...

Well, add watching Hot Wheels races like I do full-scale races to my list of pastime activities ? Thank you for sharing this!

Welcome aboard, Bill! Cool Cyclone!

My life has gotten just a bit busier of late, and I haven’t had much time at the workbench. So, instead of trying to rush through a build and end up making it less-than-acceptable, I am going to be taking a break from building models. I’m not “quitting”, just waiting until I have more time and a better setup to build to my standards. I’ll still pop in every now and then (or...ya know...often) to browse and participate in threads and conversations. Just wanted to let all of you know.

Thank you all very much for the info. I know a good bit about military aircraft, but precious little about civilian planes. Your help is greatly appreciated.
