rattle can man

Tracking shows my package arrived at the Chicago distribution center on both Sunday and Monday. It arrived in KC Tuesday and again today.

Something similar might be on Cults 3d if I remember correctly.

They are supposed to be big & littles, just like in the '70s

Glad it is sorted. looking forward to seeing it completed.

this past weekend Saw 4 stripe yellow lines (double double yellow lines) dividing the lanes of traffic in MO. It split for turn lanes then went back to quad yellows. Anyone familiar with the why of it?

I doubt this would be possible in 100 years with what is a new car now. the tech will never hold up.

They usually have what I want, its better quality, and their staff know their stuff. I was tired of the plastic hardware to hang the bar in my closet to hang clothes on breaking. the only place that had metal ones was the smaller store. They also are the only place in town to get small diameter wire (music wire) for pinning parts, making axles, etc.

The reason I suggested a smaller store is that my local non-big-box stores are able to check the thread pitch, size, etc., whereas the big name stores don't. And they have a bigger selection of loose, unpackaged fasteners you can actually compare to what you have without opening a package.

I once got a telephone bill for 3 cents. It cost them 15 cents to mail it.

Are the screws self-tapping, or do they screw into threaded holes or nuts? If self tapping, perhaps a self-tapping wood screw? You could try a non-big box hardware store (like Ace, Tru-value or local owned) since their staff usually is more knowledgeable. Model RR websites are another option, for both hardware and bulbs.

Adaptive cruise/ smart braking. On a road trip this weekend, I pulled out to make a pass on a 2 lane road. guy ahead doing 10-20 below posted for miles. long passing zone no traffic. My car starts to accelerate then suddenly slows to match his 20 under. near the end of the passing lane the car decides to go, and I just get over before the top of a hill. I don't like that automatic stuff. And to turn it off, every time you start the car you have to navigate through 4 screens.

local Ollie's only had Nike missiles and planes.

I'm sorry, but no luck

Facing the good ol' "Your package is out for delivery" and "your package is being held for pick-up" messages 1 min apart. Not delivered and not being held (supposedly)

Have to agree. If you get what you ordered it is either junk or does not fit. I bought brand new everything (drums, shoes, hardware, and bearings_ to rebuild the all original rear brakes on my Ford Festiva. Compressed the cylinder all of the way and still can't get the drum on. I guess it's modification time.

I missed the Monte Carlo. Might buy one for the interior, aero window and rear deck to build an Aero Olds, similar to a post elsewhere on the forum. And if I can find the correct decals for a white/red combo, I will build one for my sister (her first new car).

Chicken marinated in home canned chili sauce, rice with Moroccan seasoning, and carrots with grape jelly & butter glaze

I believe I have a set. I will check later tonight.

mostly boring stuff, espcially the Chevy's. the Jeep is the only one I would consider.

Can you post a pic of what you are looking for? I have a good 40 years worth of parts and kits that might have what you are looking for.

Eagles won!!

For scales beyond 1/25, I say celebrate on the 43rd, 72nd, 160th etc. day of the year.

Going to spend a good chunk of the next 24hrs building and watching Rolex 24hr race. IMSA is on Peacock/ NBC owned channels at 12:30 ET

Nothing jumps to mind. my tastes haven't changed.

Peacock carries IMSA races for 2025. Rolex 24 starts tomorrow (Saturday) at noon eastern. Coverage is broken up across 3 of their networks. The IMSA website has full details on channels and times.
