diapers to change

Dang Rob, you've got a lot of driveway. I thought mine was a workout. I feel for you. But once it's done it so satisfactory.

I'm done. The rain stopped and I went back at it again. All that's left to do is let it dry and then seal it. That will be a few days since rain is in our forecast for a couple of days..

These showed up by mail a couple of days ago. I've been busy filling my show rod voids and spotted the '69 pro street GTX and said why not. It was on the make an offer option, so I did and got it for the price of the newer issue, open and complete as is the Groovy Grader which also was fairly priced.

Another positive pleasing. Although I'm not done yet due to a thunder storm. I started to pressure wash the concrete driveway that runs from the side of the house out to the double car garage. Man it was filthy! Last time it was done was approximately 5 years ago? Here is what is done so far. I have another 40+feet to go.

That's my thought also. It's the polar light Ghostbusters kit under a resin '59 caddy body from deadsledmorgue.com. I hadn't gotten very far on it when it stalled.

Another positive note, since I've taken possession of my late father's house and needing to move my model room and it's entirety into a room in the basement that I've deemed to become my new model room, which isn't happening fast enough for me. It’s more of needing to make room for my things and there is no extra space. So in lieu of this stalemate, in my bedroom there is a built-in wall to wall desk with two wall mounted bookshelves. This will become my temporary work space for building models again. The desk top had a 6' crack running through the middle of wood with the grain and needed to be repaired first. I repaired the crack and added wood underneath to scab the crack together making it solid again. I decided to add laminate to the top which in IMO is a great work surface and it's to easy to clean. I'll still use wood to make my cuts on. I still need to clean up the front edge of the desk top and apply a finish, then it will be ready to use. 🤔°° now what to build? I have two stalled projects that has been patiently waiting my return. A pro street vega and pro street hearse.

This morning while I was out I saw a possibly 30 some coupe, dark maroon paint, dark tinted glass, chopped and channeled, no hood with a blower motor heading in the opposite direction, couldn't snap a photo fast enough. However this very nice stang passed me by driven by an older lady.

As a lover of all things show rods, this is by far cool as all get out! I'm on board to watch in amazement.

The big guy? 🤫

Certainly not me!

I just went in and trashed some old stuff but it wasn't full. I even checked in my spam. Can you try to resend it?

Okay, it hasn't arrived yet. I'll be watching.

I came in contact unintentionally and unknowingly 2 days ago when pulling weeds. I grabbed the Calamine lotion as soon as the itch started. Good luck..

I usually fill up @ BJ's warehouse, but I didn't have my card with me. They're usually cheaper than the other gas stations by 10 cents per gallon.

Yep, it's the added on tax that drives it up. Here in Maryland it's 46.1 cents tax per gallon 🤬.. I filled up today @ $2.93 per gallon, that's the cash price. Their premium is $4.19 per gallon.

Today, I was surprised by a member of the forum that bought this kit and had it sent to me jokingly, because I mentioned that I probably wouldn't buy it due to its unrealness. Now that I have it, it's actually pretty cool. Now I am going to have to break down and buy it's sister kit the Groovy Grader. 😏 as I said before, one can never have enough show rods!

Mr. Spencer, you are 100% correct. After reading your post and going back to look at the gray plastic trees, Walla, there they are. I may have to source some real rubber up front too. Many Thanks for steering me right. Mike

Off of ebay comes another show rod to fill the void. I thought judging from the sellers photos it was missing the rear slicks and the decals. I was wrong, it's missing the two front tires and the decals were tucked in the instruction sheet. More than likely I have tires that'll work nicely. Edit: upon information given by Mr. Mopar, those front tires are not missing. They are molded in plastic. But I will still use rubber tires when it's built.
