  1. hunt for info on if the upcoming Moebius '46-'47-'48 Chevy Sedan Delivery comes with the hot rod engine parts is what I'm attempting to do at present
  2. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was an American satirical soap opera that was broadcast on weeknights from January 1976 to July 1977.
  3. "Is" means "Is this the first time I'm gonna get beat to the REPLY button today?", because, first, if you don't succeed, try again and if you don't succeed the second time, try again and again, for as Thomas Edison quipped "I haven't failed 10,000 times, I just haven't figured out the right right way to do it yet", or something along that line.
  4. victims of the villains in the horror movies were great for scaring your girlfriend, causing her to squeeze you tight at the drive-in
  5. satanic mechanic is what Frankenfurter offered to summon for Brad and Janet in The Rocky Horror Picture Show
  6. YEP! May the kit-bashing commence!!! I ordered one each of the '29 Model A Roadster and the '30 Model A Coupe kits just for this purpose, a Roadster Pickup with the injected Buick Nailhead from the '30 Model A Coupe kit and a Closed Cab Pickup with the blown Small Block Chevy and the Halibrand Wheels from the '29 Model A Roadster kit.
  7. My issue arrived in my neck of SoCal Wednesday. I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to peel the plastic envelope yet...
  8. kiddies playing on a swing, kiddies playing in a ring, kiddies like to run and sing, kiddies playing here and there, kiddies playing everywhere
  9. 40 winks in a rambling Rambler, or better yet, a sailing yacht while rambling, roaming, meandering and exploring the world while we're still ambulatory is something I wish my wife and I had the time and money to experience
  10. Went out on a service call to replace a steering column that another employee had diagnosed as a broken ignition rack because the ignition key would not turn. When I arrived, I verified the ignition key not turning (which is not usually caused by an ignition rack failure), broke out my trusty pocket flash light, shined it into the ignition key slot and saw a couple of lock cylinder tumblers laying inside. I keep a used ignition lock cylinder and key on my service truck for this very reason. I temporarily repaired the vehicle with the used lock cylinder and got the truck running and then returned the next day to replace the vehicle's lock set (ignition, doors, etc.). What really irks me is that the vehicle was out of service for three days and shouldn't have been out of service for more than one.
  11. effort expended to do things like put lipstick on pigs and teach them to sing is nothing but a waste of time
  12. I'd sure like to see them repop some of the old Revell 1:16 scale front engine dragsters. I had the Keeling & Clayton California Charger and the Gene Snow Funny Car, both from the mid-70s, but my Mom sold them before I built them for $5.00 each in a garage sale while I was away at tech college. I'd sure like to have them again (and more, like the Beebe & Mulligan Front Engine Dragster)
  13. MCM deserve a huge show of appreciation for continuing to sponsor and administer this forum that we're all so much enjoying
  14. You know, Pete, that makes PERFECT sense!... I don't block spam phone calls for this reason. I'm ashamed and embarrassed that I didn't figure that out for myself...
  15. Pudding, you must eat your pudding, if you don't eat your pudding you can't have any meat!
  16. I received an unsolicited email a couple of weekends ago informing me that I am preapproved for a HELOC of up to $200,000 and instructed me to click the included link to see my interest rate. I did, was not favorably impressed, decided that I was not interested, found and used the "unsubscribe" option and assumed I was finished with it. This was from ONE specific lender. Since then, my phone has been blowing up with computer generated calls and I've been bombarded with emails from numerous prospective lenders soliciting my business. It is well beyond the point where it is not only obtrusive and invasive, it is down right annoying.
