Welcome Jim. We're the same age. What I've found is that I can get into a "zen" mode and become really absorbed in a build, and I forget about the aches and pains. I've got a serious chronic illness, so I'm not just blowing smoke. Glad you're here
That's really unique. The color, stripe, wheels and tires, and opened headlights are great touches. I wonder if anyone has every done a bright green and cream 'Vette before? Outstanding, I love it.
I should have added an important piece to my post above on the 40 Ford. I'm so familiar with the kit, it goes together without much effort. I get into a zen like state, mainly relying on "muscle memory" and things just fall into place. It happens with the AMT 32 Ford roadster too.
Mean Mary James. I don't like all of her stuff, but I think this is great, and I'm not even a banjo fan. Scroll to 4:00 for a pickers' version of speed metal.

I've had mixed experiences with this. The ex-wife hated it. She has some serious issues and was jealous of my hobby. "Not Mrs. Draggon" ( girlfriend ) is supportive and has even bought me a few kits and supplies. I haven't built in 4 years and she has encouraged me to get back to it. My son thinks it's neat, but has no interest in it himself.
So much for the British F-1 GP. Seriously though, what the article said about the tipping point being reached when electric vehicle prices coming down to the cost of gas and diesel is true. I'd consider buying a Ford C-Max Hybrid but I just can't justify the cost. The girlfriend wants an electric vehicle but is quite deluded as to when they will be as inexpensive as her Ford Fiesta.
Those are clean by today's standards, I imagine they were really outstanding back then. I like your style Gary, the blue Model T dragster is my favorite. I'm glad you shared them with us!
There's a surprising amount of difference in the rear wheelwells, the slicks sure do fit the snap body better. That's got to be the most detailed and accurate front suspension work I've seen on a Chevelle. Good work!
This is weird. The pic came straight off of google photos on my computer. I wonder if PB did something to them? I posted another pic elsewhere that I moved to Google Photos and it was invisible sometimes, yet sometimes you could see it.
