Falcon Ranchero

Real cool, I dig it 👍

Here’s all three together. None of these were new out of the box, I had to save them from the poor attempts by the first owners, but the Hertz one was my dad’s originally built as the white Shelby, he took it apart, and sprayed it black, rebuilding it but never finished the rebuild, so I did.

Well guys we jinxed my stapler; it kinda broke in the sense that whenever I push it down to staple paper, the staple load part pops out. I did rig up something on it that has in a way, fixed it, but not surprisingly the part that broke was the only plastic bit on the thing. I just have to pull back on the paper clip there when I want to staple and it works fine.

Coming along very nicely, your amount of detail is, as always, outstanding. Quick question, what spray did you use for chroming the bumpers? Been trying to find a chrome spray that actually looks chrome, and those bumpers there look just like chrome

Here’s the link to my Catalina build. Gotta get my hands on the 64 GTO though.

That’s hilarious. But I am going to have to wait till February to build the next kit in line

Now that’s super cool. Love the colour scheme, but I may be a little biased as my 62 Catalina is also gold with dark brown interior. Awesome rims on the GTO too

Oh yeah that’s all I listen to, mainly influenced by my parents and the fact that the radio stations in both their vehicles are, 80s on 8, the bridge, classic vinyl, classic rewind, hair nation, and ozzy’s boneyard. It’s all cool music and I’d rather listen to it.

Got the latest issue of Muscle Cars mag today, after waiting like 3 months for stores to carry it. Also was able to actually bring a resume into a grocery store today, and it went well so fingers crossed guys that I can stock shelves soon.

and milk money

Slippery roads. On Wednesday, driving back to the college in the afternoon, going along my merry way and what not. Light was red at an upcoming intersection, a truck was stopped already. I'm doing like 40km, because my vehicle fishtailed a bit heading up the road so I was takin' it easy. Step on the brakes and she just slides, no slowing down whatsoever. I'm about to rear-end the truck in front of me, but thankfully there was a parking lot on my right so I turned in there. Had I not I would've hit that truck. Also noticed while I was in that parking lot, a few moments before, some kids in a car had done the same thing, though at higher speeds because the car was up a snowbank, dangling the wheels. The sand trucks haven't been seen anywhere so I don't know what the holy halibut they're doing.

but can it

Those are mean looking cars; that's what makes them awesome. '69 was mean looking, too. The design for both years totally fits the muscle machine style

there's the Wizard

Yeah the photo was just this link: s-l1200.jpg, but then I clicked on it and then zoomed in and behold, there was a '63 Olds👍.

Yeah I thought that was such a cool idea; a truck with fins. Also the front end look of the '57 was a one year thing; they got a little ugly in '58-'60. But then the '61 Sweptlines came out and those looked pretty cool. I noticed that gen is your favourite. Ever hear of the "Dude" package?

Awesome thread idea; Most fav truck o' mine is the '57 Sweptside Dodges

and ride away

full of bears

Yeah, my main concern was maneuverability with those 20 footers; but most dudes been sayin' it's like second nature after a week or so. P.S. the photo there don't seem to be showin' up

Oh yeah, fully aware of the thirst these barges need quenched

I agree with this statement

Been seeing some winter beaters about, namely late 70s to 80s chev trucks, most unusual the other day was a 1981-ish VW rabbit pickup

"mean something that is valued because it has a traditional style" Is what comes up; makes sense for old cars I'd say; they are of value, because of the many traditional features found in the cars, that aren't used today. Apparently once something is 20 years old it is "Classic", don't think that really works, i'd say 1920-1990 is classic. 1920 down is just really old

Yeah, everyone at the college says our program is the best one you could take; in fact the daycare across the street from the college was supposed to be just for the "School of Natural Environment" programs, so we wouldn't even step foot in the actual college all that much. But it's a daycare so obviously that didn't happen. Would've been cool though.
