rattle can man

I have the pick-up. But I have the anti-Chevy and the weird engine (in line 6, AMC, Studebaker, etc.) genes.

There was something every weekend (at least local or regional series) until the dispute over valuation for taxes went into high gear. Now there is nothing. The city lost out on national draws like the NHRA, SCCA, and Country Stampede (almost four days of nationally known, big name country stars with on-site camping). I won't go into the politics.

All I can say is they extended bidding by 1 week. I believe the last NHRA nationals there was roughly 2 years ago. It is up for sale because of a tax dispute with the last owner. They have held NHRA and SCCA events at the facility along with music events, Friday night run-whatca-brung and regional drag racing, local dirt track events and motorcycle racing too.

The city of Topeka has extended bidding on the Former Heartland motorsport Park. According to the media the high bid is currently $500. That is correct: $500; not $500K.

I just remember watching the show. I never dug deep into the details. I just remember it was a Kenworth Aerodyne.

Nice builds. I've never been a fan of the '37-8 Fords, but you've built some that i really like

I do not have one. I have a body tub, chopped coupe top, un-chopped coupe, up and down convertible top, custom and stock hood sides, and cut up fender unit extra.

I just realized something are you referring U.K. definition? U.S. hood is a bonnet in U.K., U.S. roof is a hood in U.K.

I have the stock height 3-window, chopped 3 window, convertible and stock 5 window versions. All of the parts can be mixed and matched, custom or stock, 5 window or three window. I wish there was a chopped version of the 5-window.

I believe I have one. I can check later this evening. I have 2 brand new kits and 4 partial builds that only give me two complete builds. PM me if you still need it.

If only we could get a B.J. and the Bear aerodyne.

So having never built or seen one, I have a question on the pie wagon. Is it a V6, flathead, or a V8 with headers into the side pipe assembly?

Remember, this was an effort to re-use existing tooling (mostly original AMT Ala-Kart double kit parts with a blower set up added) to attract new sales. it didn't have to make sense to a '70s kid. It just had to be kool. I have two in my stash.

Aalmost finished spray bombing 7 kits for OOB builds that don't need polish or foil so I can do some builds after upcoming shoulder surgery. The only problem was the new can of brown as a base for wood effect. It came out looking like a bath-towel texture, not the glossy brown it is labeled.

Finally!! Hot peppers from the garden. and 10lbs of tomatoes. But 93degrees and 50% humidity is not happy. I feel for those of you over 100 degrees.

Alyn, I've been trying to get to one of your shows for a few years now. but something more pressing seems to come up.

I will keep my collection of old magazines and books. They are correct about how to do something more often than the internet.

THat is a nicely stocked HL Wish mine was stocked that well. My stash is so big I rarely see anything that isn't a re-release of something I already have. but the '60 and '63 F-100 are on my list If they ever come in.

what is the "slime"?

Since I build anything on wheels, I would do it by category, i.e. DRAG racing, NASCAR, stock, custom, etc. Then by make and finally by engine, body, interior, etc.

Just make sure you get the correct paper for your printer (ink jet vs. laser). And don't forget to seal/ clear them once printed.

Thanks. I might make it there. Anywhere I can just hop in the car and drive to is good with me.

like so many car mods, because they can. it doesn't matter if they should.

Anyone out there in the Topeka, KS area? A few years ago an LHS owner said he would get my contact info to a club, but nothing ever came of it.

Any shows coming up in the KS, NB, MO, OK area?
