  5. RIP Joe. So many of the 60's rockers are dying. The boomers were supposed to be the generation that were never going to get old. Don't trust anyone over 30 because they're to old? I only wish I could be 30 again.
  6. I played guitar in several garage bands in my younger days. The first group I was in we called ourselves "The Hydraulic Banana". I still have the electric guitar I got in Nov. '69 & used in most of these groups. I haven't played in so many years It would take me forever to relearn everything.
  7. Congratulations to your niece. I'll bet She has some proud parents.
  8. I got the paint, BMF, tweezers & clearcote from Scale Hobbyist. The paint holder from ebay & the '66 Buick from a local r/c store.

  10. That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.
  11. I've been thinking of ordering one of these from ebay since the price seems right. I need to know if you can use lacquer & enamel rattle cans since I don't use an airbrush.
  12. My Mom's '55 Olds Starfire conv. She had it from 1959 - 61. I was a wee one but I do remember that gorgeous car. '56 Mercury Monterey. I bought it for $40.00 in 1970 & sold it for $75.00 in early '71. I still regret it. '63 Olds 88 conv. I owned 4 of these between '71 & '82.
  13. I got a speeding ticket this morning. 40 in a 25. I was late for work & wasn't watching my speed.
  14. The Beatles "A Hard Days Night". I've seen it at least 200 times through the years & twice this year ,so far. Vanishing Point Thunder Road
  15. Coming home from work today I come up to a stop light & see steam coming out from under the hood of my truck & a heat gauge on the red. Pull over, pop the hood & It looks like the water pump I put in about 3 yrs. ago has sprouted a leak. :angry:
  16. Here's a pair of '58's & a '59 Caddy. Also a '60 Impala & a '59 Imperial.
  17. I got this from a trade with someone on this forum last Jan. & thought I'd go ahead & give it a paint job & some detailing. Not sure what color to paint it yet.
  18. We've been near 90 with high humidity all week. It's 70 with 100% humidity right now. Better this than the cold & snow that will be here a couple months from now.
  19. Going to the dentist. I have to be there in an hour to have some cavities filled & I'm none to happy about it.
  20. Mosquitos! All this rain has given us a surplus of these nasty little bloodsuckers.
  21. Always wear eye protection. About 10 years ago, before I had to wear glasses, I was gluing a part that slipped & flung a piece of super glue into my eye. I had to take an emergency trip to the eye Dr. where they stuck my head in a vice like contraption & scraped the now dried glue out of my eye.
  22. Beautiful job. I've had this kit laying around for several years & this gives me the incentive to dig it out & build it.
  23. There's some real drool inducing cars out there. That desert weather really preserved those old cars. If those cars had sat all those years here in Indiana they would be rusted down to the frame by now.
  24. I've got my votes in. I'd be broke if they made all the models I'd love to see produced.
  25. I was going out my front door yesterday & the wind knocked the storm door back into my elbow busting the glass & putting a long nasty gash that ended up needing 8 stitches. My arm isn't feeling to good this morning.
