  1. Does that mean my 6 are "GOLD" now ?
  2. I use an old grocery apron , loop around my neck and bottom thumb tacked to the edge of the work bench . It's about 3' wide and catches everything .
  3. Nope , liked the lower look , but that's just me . Great looking build .
  4. That was in the 2000 annual Car Modeler issue from SAE .
  5. If you want a nice pro street chassis for the 55 try this one ,
  6. That is really nice Bob .
  7. That's beautiful , black on anything is my favorite color , me pulling off a black paint job is another matter .
  8. We were racing 1/24 R/C cars 20 or more years ago , they were made by Tamiya . I still have these packed away. We raced on slot car tracks , just didn't use the slot . They didn't become a really big thing because of the lack of slot car tracks to race on here. They could be set up outside , but had to have a very smooth surface to handle well .
  9. Had hail just north of us the size of grapefruit , that's what was reported ! Saw a lot golf ball size .
  10. Just goes to show , just because you can , doesn't mean you should . A sad state for an iconic car .
  11. Sad , such a brilliant mind confined to a failing body . Rest in Peace
  12. These old films are great .
  13. Great looking truck , the inspiration for this maybe ?
  14. There's a 46-48ish Merc behind the wrecks at 3:05 , and a 46-48ish Plymouth in the pit at 6:50 .
  15. Really hacked off at myself right now , my memory is obviously not what it used to be and I'm having to deal with the consequences .
  16. Now that's drag racing , Wow , I'll have to find out when they'll be close and go .
  17. Hey Chris , I'd like the 4.6L engines , what do you need ?
  18. Looks like the dash is black , with a black vinyl pad across the front , the radio and pocket are silver , BMF ? , and the instrument cluster is flat black . This is a restored SS. On a lower model the dash is body color with the black and silver trim . Looks like from Mike's post the dash could be any combination of the two .
  19. Here's Heather Locklear in a pink bikini , but you have to remember , she's 56 now .
  20. Well , it's the 4th week of 80 degree weather and the garden in taking shape . Planted tomatoes ( 3 kinds ) , bell pepper , banana pepper , yellow sweet corn , egg plant , red serrano pepper , basil , cilantro , parsley , dill , celery , spinach ,( lemon & lime trees from last year ), and cucumber . When it all starts to bear fruit I'm going to be busy , but happy. Start going to ball games again tonight , local mixed league , and really enjoying the outdoor season .
  21. Nascar , like every other racing type is spec . They all have rules to follow , some of Nascar's have turned it into a clown show sometimes , but you can't say the drivers that go out there aren't the best at what they do . Everybody is on a new learning curve , so with the new rules the racing is dicey until they have enough information to sort the handling out . I like watching just about any type of racing until they start complaining about how close to each other they are , just separating the men from the boys . Go to any local racetrack on a Saturday night and see how real racing is done , side to side , wheel to wheel , bumper to bumper , fighting for position . Indy is a joke , only 1 car and 2 or 3? engines , Formula 1 is a close second (talk about spec racing !) . The guys that really impress me are the rally drivers that throw those cars all over the place trying to stay on the road and at speed . But , like everything else that's just my opinion .
  22. Thanks for the dedication , Gregg
  23. That's beautiful Bob .
  24. That looks really nice , I found these , so you're close .
