  1. didn't get it today, but got it a week or so ago; a 1957 Chrysler 300 in need of fixin' up. Previous owner started build but gave it a horrid black paint job
  2. That first book may be of interest to me; is the somewhere I could order it or find it
  3. I too typically use google images to find inspiration as it is the most easiest, but I sometimes use magazines; modeled my '69 Torino Cobra after the one on the cover of the Winter 22/23 issue of Muscle Cars Bone Stock and Modified, and using ispo from the August 2022 issue of Collectible Automobile for my upcoming 1957 Chrysler 300 build.
  4. Anymore room for this "Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury comic?
  5. Reading Lord of the Flies was canceled shortly after we read it in grade nine due to politically incorrect terms
  6. Position I was in in grade 11 English class I read A sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury and had to draw a little comic type strip about the ending and I still have it if you dudes are familiar with the story and would like to see it
  7. To put a scene to the claim, here's today.
  8. I suppose it's too late to get into vintage kits, but, that being said, I did mention two complete kits, unbuilt, and with no issues that I did pay, collectively $90 for, in 2023. An original issue 1970 Bonnevile ($40) and a 1966 issue 1958 Thunderbird ($50); but, I had some suspicion that the reason those two kits were basically priced no more than modern kits was that both had been reissued recently, so technically the two kits were easily available, just these two happened to be the 60 year old issues, which made them of collectible status, whereas every JoHan kit and some AMT kits were only issued once or twice, 50-60 years ago and haven't been available since then, and so mint examples are typically priced above average model kit price. I did build those two vintage kits, and I did also have a few my dad kept a hold of, however they were late '70s models, not the late '50s-early '60s I'm after.
  9. The sun is O-U-T out today on this Tuesday off. There ain't a cloud in sight, it stopped snowing after weeks of on and off snow and dark clouds.
  10. Good first day back at the college; gettin' back with friends and all that. Pretty good semester coming up, no Tuesday classes, Wednesday is 8:30am to 7:20pm with an unsure break in the middle. Long day if there's no breaktime but it is how it is. Relatively easy (using the term extremely loosely) work, the GIS (Geographic Information System) class is rumored to be a little on the nasty side in terms of how "easy" it is, but I'm sure it's all good.
  11. Really like the custom Elcamino and the Pontiac, as well as the Cadillac and the ‘Cuda.
