The parts seem to be laid out where the ones that would be chromed are on the same tree. I figure they're just not chromed on these samples.

The one I go to doesn't get all of the releases at once. They get some, I check later they get more different ones. I just checked Wednesday, they got in more different ones. Postal Pinto, Rick Shaw or whatever it is, some others I don't remember.

Mustang that's been in somebody's front yard for quite some time:

That looks nice. I'll be watching.

Too late. The doghouse is already on.

Confidence is high that the coil was the problem.

I hate the hassle of getting the doghouse off, but I like the opposite view of the engine, while sitting inside. It died on me, luckily as I pulled into my driveway, but it was blocking the gate. I managed to get it started to pull it out of the way but it died again. Getting fuel, injectors are firing. No spark, I assume the ICM and pickup coil are fine because the injectors are firing. I try to make the coil fire by giving it power and tapping ground. No fire but ground is sparking pretty good. Not sure what to think about that, so I plug everything back in and it starts right up. Running fine. I think I should replace the coil, I don't really trust it without having changed something.

I've been watching Bad Chad:

Hinge pin bushing install. I already did this once but tapping the bushings in with a hammer wasn't good for bushing longevity. I gently pressed them in with tiny C clamps this time.

I was looking for the Alaskan Hauler. I bought the Demon because "everybody's doing it".

Saw another Cybertruck today:

The Cybertruck I saw at the used car lot, I thought they were moving it back and forth from the lot to a car wrap shop a quarter mile away. Turns out it was two different trucks. The one at the wrap shop was wrapped today. Camouflage like an old war plane, with the mouth and teeth on the sides.

Mine had the 1/43? gas truck and stake bed truck. I got them both.

Defund the police (car kitmakers).

Yea, go ahead and search your stuff on Google. I'll refer to my paper copy of The Anarchists Cookbook.

They don't care about the younger demographic when they re-release all those ancient kits I don't want. This kit and others like it are the kits I didn't get as a youth but will be buying now, now that I actually have money. They're finally moving ahead a few years releasing stuff that was out when I was a kid. I'll take it. I'll take some Fieros. I'll take the Escort or EXP or whatever it was called. I'll take some Rangers, the small one. I wouldn't mind the longbed F150 but we do have both shortbeds. I'm really glad the OBS Chevys are available again. And not Round2, but I'll even take the Revell Citation.

I'll have to check mine to see if they have the Alaskan Hauler yet.

Some more real world testing and I'm sure they'll be just as safe as flying... on a Boeing.

There's a Cybertruck at the used car lot about a mile from my house. It's been there a few days or so, has some kind of sticker on the windshield. What's even weirder than that is that my end of town isn't exactly high brow. Mobile homes and junkyards as far as the eye can see.

From my daughter: I introduced her to The Monkees and she loves them. I have one that I built a long time ago but built it with tan interior and top as per the box art of the issue I had. I had told her I wanted to build one with the correct white top and interior so she got me the new issue.

I just grabbed a piece from the hose pile. It's fuel hose so I think it will be fine.

I've had this issue with my (31 year old) work truck for a little while, the gas tank has been pressurizing. Checked the carbon canister, it was clear. Checked the vent line, blocked. I had blown through it with air and carburetor cleaner before, I thought that fixed it but it no. So today I was going to replace the hard line from the front of the truck to the gas tank. Inspecting it again I found a short piece of rubber hose I didn't notice before making the line two sections. Cool, maybe I won't have to replace the whole line. Removed the hose and blew through both sections, clear. The little three inch hose was swelled shut. Saved me a bunch of trouble, fixed way faster than I thought (hopefully this time).

Nice to see I'm not the only one with janitors keys.

The phrase "a face only a mother could love" comes to mind.

Pretty cool.
