  1. Looks my previous post from 21 hours ago and then I edited by removing 17 hours ago is reoccurring again already. For Pete's sake it it happens again around 2am and continues, I'll be back with a full on rant! 🤬
  2. If you don't think about them, they will become fordgotten 🤷‍♂️
  3. This little guy is spoiled and the envy of all the other critters that come visiting.
  4. A few days ago I caught this truck coming out of a local restaurant. Must have been a show earlier that day. I didn't get pictures of but also saw a White 56 T-bird, a red '32 Ford coupe with a flame job, and an older ('50's) maroon Porsche convertible.
  5. From ebay. I was offered a price reduction which made it impossible to pass up. Some glue clean up is needed and It has a few missing pieces that are replaceable. It was missing one rear tire and rim, which I have in my parts box, in fact I have all 4 rims for it that are mint. I already ordered new copies of the original decals that came with these kits from STS..
  6. I have a pair of wrens that built a nest in a plastic basket that hangs on the wall directly over top where I sit to feed the squirrels and my buddy Chip the chipmunk. The wrens are territorial as heck. They dive bomb the squirrels and have attacked Chip while he's on my lap. First I put a rubber snake at the nest. The wrens weren't bothered one bit. They acted as if it wasn't even there. Next step was to move the basket containing the nest to a nearby shrub. Apparently it's not far enough away. Today I'll be moving them even farther away. I just couldn't bring myself to destroy the nest and killing the babies because of the parents actions. It is nature and I respect that. 20250517_104955.mp4
  7. Yep, they're heading for high ground.
  8. There's an easier fix to all this painted headliner when to or not. Just build convertibles...No? 😉 But to be serious, I've used the same method as Dave does above. But I'll have to try that silly winks idea, kinda neat.
  9. I saw this '74 Pinto wagon turning into a parking lot and I just had to go see it. Nice guy, he purchased it approximately 4 months ago. He mentioned that he's had several over the years.
  10. This weeks acquisitions by mail. I'm trying to fill my show rod voids. NEXT!
  11. When you're young and have no shame, you get results anyway ya can. Mom's paper dooley's and lace ribbon worked wonders.
  12. Back in the day when the van craze was hopping and I was a youngster and I couldn't get enough vans. Here's a blast from my past. Mind you, I was young. All spray cans and some rub on lettering. 🫣
  13. If only Round2 would consider doing a reissue.. Great Build, I'm jealous.
  14. As a show rod lover and with "the weirder is better" thinking, this is cool. By now everyone has pretty much said it all. So ditto on the comments. I've overlooked this kit many times with the thought it's just too silly. Dave, you've changed that foolish thought to a "I've gotta have one." Nice work! and thanks for convincing me I was wrong!
  15. Today I'm in heaven, not literally but close to it.. my little buddy Chip has returned and it's just like old times.. 20250515_115508.mp4
