Every time I hear the name Roundtree, I think of this movie.

I'm not one of those people who get feelings that a place is a little off, but one-time years ago my friend's band were playing a gig at a place in NYC called Webster Hall (It used to be called the Ritz). We got there kind of early and set up all the gear. We had some time to kill so we were talking to the staff, and they told us to go looking around. We went all over that place, and I can remember telling my friend that if there is a place that's haunted, is that building

I like a few of those ghost shows also. A few I can't stand. I never experienced anything touching me or smells, but I have heard of some from others. I was on the infamous Dupont estate digging test pits (with a backhoe) for over a week. We went over to the house where the murder happened and walked around the house taking pics with our digital cameras. Neither of us went in. It was way too ominous looking. That night at home I found one picture of a window with green leaves reflecting off the glass that resembled the face of an anguished sprit. In the pane next to it looked like the face of a dog. I wish I still had the picture, but I downloaded it to my old computer and lost it when it crashed.

My dad sold his house in Doylestown PA a few years ago and retired down to Florida. The house was built in 1914 and sits on an historic street. Supposedly, one time, all the kids were playing in the back room and a few of them reported seeing a woman in period attire looking at them with a disapproving look on her face. Ever since then, every time I found myself alone in any room in that house, I would challenge the ghost to show itself to me. She never did. Lately, I discovered this guy Art Bell who had a radio show in witch people would call in with their own ghost stories. Some pretty interesting stories. art bell ghost to ghost - YouTube

I was working with a plumber some years ago and he told me he and a group went to Penn Hurst asylum and he swears he felt someone grabbing him by the shoulder when no one was there.

I'm still fascinated by the thought of them.

Typical 1:12 Tamiya kit decals missing.

We went on a ghost walk at a historic building near where I grew up. The one shot has a lady dressed to look like a ghost but the house is said to be haunted. They had a bunch of actors in the house to make for a Halloween atmosphere. Outside of the barn, they had a fire pit with a bunch of hay balls to sit on and we told whatever ghost stories we had. Any body have any of their own ghost stories?

Scored another deal off ebay. Still out there if you look. I only bought this for the complete rider but I also have a sort of complete CR 450 for parts.

This is another weird truck. Pretty sure my dad had 2 like this one only 2WD. Still under the Datsun moniker. No caps though.

The Clash - Sandinista.

This one arrived this morning. I keep finding these early Toyota pickups with caps on ebay. Next one coming next week

Hey. It's got the Aloha racks!

Makes me feel old. R.I.P.

I'll look into that.

Now I'm totally confused. Would a white primer work and then a coat of bright yellow?

I wouldn't know where to begin looking for something like that. Still, I can't see them having bright yellow.

It has to be bright yellow probably paint. Ideally spray paint.

I recently received a 1/6 Tamiya, Yamaha YZ 250 that I want to turn into a replica of an IT 175 that I used to have. The black fork boots appear to be real rubber. I want to paint them with bright yellow like the fork boots on my old IT. I have heard that lacquer tends to react adversely with rubber. Should I hit with common primer and then the yellow, or skip the primer altogether?

Cross another one off my holy grail list. My tamiya 250 YZ Yamaha arrived today. I plan to paint it blue and yellow like my old IT 175. Need to fab up a headlight, twilight and tool pouch. Massive 1/6.

Replacements - Cool Water.

Got another 4x4 Toyota with a cap.
