  1. Delight worked down at the local strip club and every Friday night she rang Santa’s Jingle Bells.
  2. Clock out, get my pay, then I’m out in the streets
  3. Differently things would have been if we met in another place and time and she didn't have a wife.
  4. I was thinking something more like this.
  5. Sir, I can explain, she put them right in my face and I could not resist nibbling, they were the best tater tots I ever had.
  6. Explain yourself young Mr Watson, why did you put Suzi's pigtails in the ink well?
  7. Same kinda stuff, just different brand. Looking good but the area below the light pods needs to be "softened" a bit. I assume you are going without bumpers.
  8. Cataracts I was told on my last eye exam are just beginning to show.
  9. This irks me every time and I know it shouldn't as it's meant with the best intentions. But every year a couple of weeks before Christmas our volunteer FD gets out all the firetrucks and with Santa on the hook and ladder, crawl around the neighborhood for several hours. Sirens going, horns blaring so that Santa can wave at the 3 or 4 kids in the neighborhood that still believe. They just sat in front of my house for 20 minutes so that Santa could go to the end of the block and say hello to one of the members of the board. It drives my dogs absolutely insane and they go running around the house going ape 💩 the whole time. Finally got them to settle down but the FD will be back again later. My wife wanted to know if I waved at Santa, yeah, with my middle finger. The first year I experienced this I didn't know what the hell was going on. Reminded me of being in school and having the air raid whistles go off and we had to hide under our desks. Are they trying to tell us to evacuate? Are we under attack? Are the woods on fire and they can't handle the blaze so we need to evacuate? Nope, just Santa. Again, I don't know why it irks me so much but it just does. I think it's because they go so overboard with it. The neighborhood is like 2 square miles and this goes on for the whole afternoon.
  10. Yup, that be it.
  11. Craig, I know exactly what you're talking about. It's fighting me for each little mm. This is now why i wish I hadn't left fitting the wheels until late in the build. But by hook or by crook we will get it sorted out, thanks for checking in.
  12. Camera ahhh, I'm ready for my close up Mr DeMille
  13. This is what I use and as you said the watery stuff rises to the top. I store it upside down and shortly before I need to use it I turn it right side up. Helps to keep the watery stuff suspended.
  14. Something in the way she moves...wait, we have to keep it clean here.
  15. You got it Bill. I got a build of one of these on my to-do list. Have one of the X-EL promos I bought in the 80's(?) also have a resin body. Not sure if I want to cut up the X-EL as it's mint.
  16. If it's the stuff in the 30oz bottle just store it upside down and flip it upright a few minutes before you need to use it.🤔
  17. Decided to take a stab at narrowing the track. It's one of those things that once you do it you can't go back. Removed the hub on the backing plate which was probably about an 1/8". Then I shortened the axle stubs on the suspension. This brought things in a bit but the front track is still too wide for the front wheels to turn. You can see that the track is wider in the front then the rear which is atypical for these cars. But it does look better from the side view. Don't mind the crooked wheels as nothing is glued down yet. Think I can countersink the front stubs into the backing plate a bit for more clearance, or modify the spindles a bit to shorted the width. Still thinking about it. Meanwhile I had installed the grill and was going to install the front bumper when I discovered there was a front splash pan. This is what happens when you don't read the destructions. This part will need to be painted before I can go any further. Oh, well!!!🙄 Also have an issue where the hood doesn't stay in place, keeps sliding forward. Have to find a solution for that. Wasn't an issue in primer, guess the 2K is just too slick.😣
