  1. I will definitely follow this build. I'm curious about how you will handle the retention straps molded into that NASCAR rear window. Keep them or remove them somehow?
  2. In the end it boils down to 1) demand and 2) what value a person places on it. And as stated before, a bad repair or restoration on one does not mean all examples will have issues. you get what you pay for
  3. I've got it now. That blurry second picture was causing me a bit of confusion.
  4. Actually Saturday, but I finally received my order from Scale Motorsport. After 2 weeks of USPS tracking saying it will be delivered each day, but it is enroute to the next facility
  5. And on top of my previously mentioned morning, my GF got something big stuck in her tire while coming home from out of state. Had to find someplace that could get four tires by tomorrow while she was waiting for a tow truck.When she gets home, I have to figure out what non-critical parts I need to get (I'm thinking at least an inner fender panel).
  6. Let's not forget "Going for a bath in the purple pond". For stalled projects: "i'm waiting for the right part/ kit", "I'm contemplating the next step", and "waiting for the paint to off-gas/ dry (my excuse for a VW Type III started 21ish years ago)"
  7. that looks like an easy swap. Now I need to track down a Cougar kit.
  8. If I am correct, the Fruit Wagon is derived from the Double T kit. And elsewhere on this site, the engine is said to not be a correct Lincoln
  9. I don't get the concept and construction of it from the photos
  10. driving 30 in a 40 and hitting the brakes to slow to 20 before speeding back up to 30. lather, rinse, repeat.
  11. Either coincidence or great minds. I just started back to work on the same VW kit, nearly twenty years after painting it.
  12. does it make its own fuel (ethanol)?
  13. Still haven't seen the '63 in the wild here. Neither LHS or HL
  14. I have to agree on the Rustoleum cans. I've tried the hot water trick dunking the nozzles immediately after spraying, thinner in the tubes, and nothing works to revive a half can
  15. Now that I looked at it, it appears the chrome tree is missing
  16. If you are looking for a coupe try here: '48 Ford Coupe Model Scale Kit With Box | ShopGoodwill.com
  17. We need more of people looking out for each other. Forget your differences and find something in common. Besides, doing something nice for someone brings more health benefit than stressing out and complaining.
  18. has to be regional/ none in eastern KS Or western MO
  19. All of those race cars were really sponsored by them. It's just how much merchandising/ licensing they did.
  20. but math is complicated! Especially new math. AI said it was correct.
  21. Honestly, it doesn't matter. Life is too short to worry about what others think. If government wants to classify them as toys and exempt them from taxes, all the better for those who enjoy them. What matters is that we enjoy building them.
  22. And let's not forget the cinnamon pine cones that make you unable to breathe
  23. When you click on an item on their site it actually takes you to the item on Amazon. I've ordered once or twice with no issues.
  24. Those of you posting about snow are almost making me want to post to the "what irked you today?" post about the lack there of here! Seriously, enjoy the snow for me!
