Blinked like Jeannie

Kit Carson was a fur trapper and wilderness guide back in the day before they had penny's to pinch so he would pinch his wife instead.

There is a big difference between someone who has gone grocery shopping there whole life and someone who doesn't shop regularly and is sent out on a mission they are not prepared for.

School is closed tomorrow for the holiday.

Lost her clubs

Oh my God😱 it must be the end of the world. The supermarket is packed this morning, men walking around like deer in the headlights. Shopping list in one hand, cell phone in the other. Wife directing them remotely to necessary provisions (you didn’t know they were remote controlled did you). Milk is in the back where the refrigerators are. TP, where is the TP? Shouldn’t that be near the restrooms? Is it the end of the world? Should I start praying? No, just some more snow coming today, 5-7” 🙄

Not too nice

Build up those muscles young man, there’s a snowstorm coming your gonna need them.

Thanks Rich. It’s tedious but fun.

I would say this is what you have, it's 1/24th. https://hotrodbunny.com/the-monogram-32-ford-deuce-sports-coupe-model-from-1959/

Stinky, it's stinky a fun and wonderful toy, it's stinky....mmmm, maybe that's slinky.🙄

how to build

Follow John's advise and get the grill From Few Sprues Loose. I used their Duster grill on a project and have their Demon grill for future use.

This has been discussed here before. This was the most recent, there are other discussions if you look for them

Right now squirrels are on my 💩 list. Have a bird feeder on the back deck doors of the house that I've had for years. Now this year the squirrels have taken to climbing up the back door and hanging off the top plate to jump into the feeder. In the process they are tearing up the back door frame taking large chunks out of it. Needless to say I took the feeder down last week. This morning a squirrel climbed up the back of the door anyway to find there wasn't a feeder. Guess his eyesight isn't very good.

Stash of mine gets put up in the attic, wife's stash takes up the spare bedroom.

Little by little been nibbling away at the ol' Fairlane. Working on some more details for the interior. In 1968 the Fairlane had a 'floating' rear view mirror that was attached to the windshield. Figured I would give a shot at creating one of those. Took a random mirror to start with to adapt for the cause. Filed off the mounting nub on this, removed the chrome, added a stud on the backside and painted it black. Initially I tried to glue the flat of the stud to the inside of the windshield but that was a failure. Found it impossible to hold the mirror in one place long enough for the CA to cure. Ended up cleaning up my glue smears on the 'glass' before taking a second go at it. This time I mounted a pin in the stud and then drilled a small pilot hole in the backside of the 'glass'. Not all the way thru mind you. I was then able to mount the mirror with no issue at all. Kinda hard to see but there it is floating in place. Still want to make up a dome light. Along with this, the chassis work has been crawling along. If you remember when I started this the objective has been to use parts from the scrap bit. So it's finally time to start assembling the collection. Don't know where the exhaust came from but it fits the chassis quite well. Added pins the the front end of the pipes for when I'm ready to add the front end of the exhaust system. Likewise I don't know where the rear axle and springs are from but they will hold up the ass end quite nicely. Shocks are on order from parts bin 16. The front end has been cobbled together with various bits and now we need to make up some front spindles.Starting out with some scrap sprue seems a good place to start. Cutting down to size here I've overlapped the two to make sure they are of equal length. Hopefully the car sits level after this. Once the height is established I drilled a hole straight down the middle. Here is a mock up. I shaped the spindle a bit to square up the vertical section and filed out an opening in the backside. I plan on running a styrene post through the center and this will allow me to glue it in place at the middle so the top and bottom are free to turn. Might not make sense now but you will see when it comes together. Spindle needs to attach to the center link so some small square styrene was added for that purpose. Then I overlapped that with another section of square and shaped it to look more like the real thing. Next I decided the Fairlane would have drum brakes on all fours so I cast some backing plates to add to the spindles. The one on the left spun a bit while drying so 12 O'clock is a bit past noon. Oh, well.😕 Before I move on the resin has to sit and soak before I can paint it. A while back I had decided on a set of rims and I wanted to do Red Lines. Unfortunately I couldn't find a nice set of 4 tires in my parts box. So here they are mounted on some AMT Firestone white walls. I bought some new AMT Red Line tires but they are too large to fit the rims. So either I get some different rims I like, or find some more vintage Red Lines, or maybe we just stick with the WW's Anyway, that is where we are for now. Catch ya on the flip side.

I always preferred the Formula over the Trans Am. Nice choice.
