Love the color and excellent pics of a terrific build.

That is one sweet looking Nova! Did you use that suede paint on the interior? WOW! Nice looking build.

That Effie looks just great. I love the color and the graphics.

I once had a close friend who was wounded in Vietnam. He was actually wounded several times because the VC were using him as target practice to try and lure others out to help him. Amongst other wounds, Jerry suffered severe nerve damage to his left arm leavving it painfull and about useless. For years he wantedd to get the arm removed to aleve the pain. We were able to arrange the removal - and then he started complaining about something else. Jerry took a great many pain pills that killed him, despite the professsional counseling and friends trying to help. In his note, Jerry said he couldn't go on any longer. Jerry checked out but left his wife and 2 children. Jerry was a friend and a hero, but left in a coward's death. I believe the 9/11 people who jumped were trying to save their lives by getting out of the flames/heat/gases. No, I don't know Leonard Woods personally. If I had, I would have certainly tried to talk him out of ending his own life.

Suicide is an act of cowardice.

Got my package from MisterArt yesterday - OOMOO 30 and Smooth Cast 300. Watch out casters, I'm getting started.

I realize that not everyone is retired and has time on their hands, Don, but I can take just so much back and forth talk. I suggested a date/time with the sincere hope that interested people would it's good and they'll be there, or bad and suggest an alternate date/time. There's been neither.

Strange. I tried listing a bunch of VHS tape plastic cases - 35 of them - and Ebay wouldn't let me go higher than $3.00 for shipping. That forced me to go at the listing from another direction. The tape cases weigh8 lbs and there's no way they'd ship for only $3.00.

This started way back in June and still no news? Makes me wonder.

I asked that very question, Len. Only Gregg knows. I hope it's soon, though!

I'll just wait until the mailman delivers my copy.

He ndoesn't like to reply to me, so I don't bother him anymore.

Speaking of Model Cars magazine, when is the issue coming out? PS - I don't do that "other" mag.

Apparently the IPMS chapter has 3 factions - planes, boats, cars and each group stays with their own kind. I'd rather be part of a model car club. I have no interest in planes & boats. I forgot to mention in my earlier post that Larry (Inverness) and Terry (Hernando), are interested in our forming model car club. Larry is building again after 40 years and Terry has been building for about a year. I'm looking forward to the 19th and hope others will be willing to come out or at least provide some feedback on a preferred date/time.

Such a nice day, I had to get the bike out and ride - so I went to my LHS. Rob's Hobby World in Ocala. Rob will give club members a 10% discount at his store (the new Dodge Dart Hemi is $22.99 on his shelf). IPMS has a chapter in Ocala (voted the best club chapter 2009). One of their members was at the store and we talked. It appears this chapter has quite a few car builders and are quite friendly. They meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month in Ocala. Any comments on the suggested date/time for the proposed Central Florida club?

Can't make it - I have a meeting to attend. It would have been a great place to advertise the attempt to get a model car club going in Central Florida.

It was available at mt LHS earlier today.

Found it! I searched for Kynar wire wrap 30awg. I got mine from Jimmy Ping Fung and his email is jimmypwfung@gmail.com.

Good looking build. I have a '70 1/2 on the workbench.

Is that the wire used for ignition wire? I got a multitude of colors from a guy on Ebay. If that's what you're looking for, I can get the info. I'm pretty sure TxRat (Shane) led me to the search for it.

Great start, Terry. The chassis is looking marvelous and I'll keep watching your progress.

Just becasue a person doesn't get hired doesn't mean a particular shop isn't friendly. Should we be considering becoming an IMPS chapter? I know IMPS gets a 10% discount at Rob's Hoby World in Ocala. I'm planning to go up to Rob's today and will try to remember to ask about discounts. I've only been to Clermont once a few years ago when the new Harley dealership opened. I'd like to propose October 19, 2010 at 11:00am at a yet to be determined location in Clermont. There's been enough talk - let's get to starting this thing up.

I like the flames and color scheme.

That's a really good looking engine.
