"But officer, the sign says park within marked spaces, not space"" There is nothing on the sign that says you have to use only one space. Or how you park in the marked spaces.

My fellow styrene addict brothers and sisters: I'm thinking this kit will be my next project. First, the tires are kind of melty after sitting for over 20 years. Are there any sources for 1/9 scale motorcycle tires? Second, has anyone built this kit? Just wondering if there are any issues that need addressed while building (aside from interpreting the instructions)? So far, I've only found one build thread (In English as a second language) that stated the exhaust doesn't fit well and the supplied tubing doesn't fit the molded pins

I loved his music. Rest in peace Mr. Schifrin

Cheap, discount store gloss black. To my eyes it matches the gloss of older chassis black. But I only build shelf models, mostly OOB.

Sealer is something you might consider if painting colored plastic. Colors from the plastic can bleed through paint. I've had orange colored plastic bleed through the when I applied a tiny spot of Mr White ton top of the primer.

Totally agree on AC. Summer is here, with daily heat indexes in the 90s-100s until Oct.

V8 60 was introduced for '37 and lasted into the forties in the US. In Europe it lasted longer. You might see if you can find European Ford kits of '37 into the '50s (I think) kits.

We all woke up today and the world did not end! Tomorrow will be filled with peace and love, as long as you don't check the news.

92F and 41% humidity now. tomorrow night: tornadoes, 2" hail possible

78 F and 45% humidity.

Malibu Pro Street photos. No rear suspension/ rear end, no glass. both A-pillars bent on green body.

Perfection is not always beautiful, but beauty is always perfect. (think of that custom car that fits the "just because you can doesn't mean you should" saying)

Summer is here. Upper 80's- lower 90's next few days, followed by mid-upper 80' for the next week after that.

As stated, ash would definitely affect flights more than ships. But I would go. Alaska is incredibly beautiful. I was stationed there for 3 years and did have one flight home delayed a day by ash.

That drawing is definitely an improvement on my least favorite generation of Vette. Can't wait to see it Under Glass!

bright orange early '80s Vette. And a Trans Am from this year's "Bandit Run". Fans of Smokey and the Bandit came to town to visit the Cora, the elephant from one of the sequels. But it suffered an issue. After driving behind it for maybe ten miles we caught up to it on the side of the road after we passed through a cloud of blue smoke. Plate number was EST BND.

You will be back at the bench in no time. Just stick with the therapy plan. And if you feel you can do more than they tell you, ask.

I need to start a poison ivy removal business. I seem to be immune. If only I were younger...

Had a replacement and repairs don in Oct. I feel 90%. V.A. paid for it through community care. The problem is the provider's office says I have to request follow up care now that the authorization has expired, when they need to request it. For now I'm just following common sense and listening to my body

Still waiting for the Ollie's here to open.

Vegetable garden weeded and cherries picked. 8 tomato plants I didn't plant, so extra salsa! The downside of the work is now my neck and shoulders say no Friday bench time.

Hot water/ heat and careful use of a bottle opener (I bought one designed specifically for the task) or round jaw pliers. Don't squeeze the metal lid so hard you make it into an oval. Heat will a) soften any paint and b) the metal lid and the glass have different expansion rates.

It is sad that the media has to explain D-Day.

temp and humidity are the same: 70 degrees, 70% humidity.

Don't know why, as a Ford guy, I bought these Chevies. All are up for trade: Box of '66 malibu pro-street parts, no rear axle/ suspension, damaged pillars on complete body, extra body from a flip front version 5 Rrevell-ogram '67 427 corvette roadsters, parts off sprues, no decals. 3 molded in red and two in white. Some paint started '72 Chevelle rebuilder. combination of two partial kits. AMT/ Ertle. Revell '55 Chevy Pro Sportsman, Street Burner edition. sealed inside. Interested in anything non-Chevy, or show cars.
