MCM Ohana (6/6)

Well, it did arrive today. Very pleased.

Yes, I heard about that; that's too bad, it was a great kit the first time I built it. This one I have now, I might have to keep unbuilt and in the packages; who knows, maybe in the next 60 years it'll have Jo-Han kit rarity status LOL. But I'll probably build it. -
Anyone else getting Bad spelling Scam Email's??

"Sebsatan" that sounds like the Devil's son. -
Turns out my 1960 Plymouth Brochure from eBay is way way ahead of schedule, having the delivery date be sometime today, instead of August 1st. Whether or not that's 100% true I don't know, but as long as it gets here.

I've noticed other guys who've bought the '71 Olds all got the clearence price of $9. Also the reason why I got another one myself was the clear out price. But knowing the hobby lobby I go to, kits have to be sitting for years and years before getting a clear-out price. That's how I got the 1/16 scale '57 T-bird; also $9 clearence.

Sighted my second Monarch last evening, a '60 Richelieu to be precise.

What did you see on the road today?

Man of my word I was able to get a better photo of the mystery Merc from my last sighting, last evening, and it turns out it's a '60 Monarch Richelieu, the Canadian counterpart to the Mercury. No rear bumper and no interior suggests a project car. Second Monarch sighting after a '51 wreck car in a gully. Pretty cool.

Looks great; I did a similar thing where I turned a '57 Chrysler 300 hardtop into a convertible.

Saw a '68 Meteor Montcalm convertible last evening, but also a Mystery Merc that appears to be a '60 Merc or Monarch. Hoping to have better photos later today...

Pretty nice show. Apparently loads of cars were there right at 3pm when registration opened even though the show was actually supposed to start at 6pm, which is when we got there. Didn't get a great spot as a result, but it was a good show. The Bordertown Classics private collection from Barret Jackson and Mecum auctions were there, as they were last year. Didn't stay till the end because it started to pour so we left an hour before the show ended, as other cars did too. Good thing those wipers worked. The guy who restored our car also did this Mustang CS

Project '70s lawn chair is complete; officially a solid chair to sit on. No more lean, not more sag, and a reinforced structure. Took a little longer than expected since, stupid me, didn't realize the drill was set on reverse so there I was reefing on it to drill holes and it was taking forever. It's like the literal 100th time I've done that and I never figure it out right away. But I did realize and after that it was smooth sailing. I must say I am quite pleased; just to think, it was sitting in the gully for at least 30 or 40 years, and now it's as solid as any new chair.
