I was just watching him on You Tube this morning enjoying the music. Sad to hear.

Man this looks great Ray. Paint is awesome. You may need to look at different scales for a good long roof swap. I say do both the booble top and a few different roof types. Fastback, wagon , slopper ...................

I have found the front tighten knives, even the X-acto handles lose their grip of blades over time. I prefer the rear tighten like the picture I posted above. Used one at work for 20 some years at it still holds well today. The old front or top tighten does not, only used it for 5 years to find that out. I will say that the off brand knives will not always retract in the retractable handles I use at home. The blades are a little wide to retract back inside the handle.

An old friend that I had not seen in years had a daughter start using heroin. She was a nurse and from the first admitted time using until she passed was a little over 6 months. She came from a good family with support from Aunts and Uncles. After she passed her father told everyone never believe an addict even your own daughter. I would have never thought in a million years it would have happened to that family. We all use the term, they had it all going for them. She did or so we thought. I feel bad for her parents and her siblings. The inner demons that start the use and then the addiction are stronger than we know. I believe it is the same drive that successful people have but it is wired wrong in many people and leads to anxiety and fear. .

Your building skills are more important Tom. You will get there.

Yeah Baby!! Nice work Tom.

Looks good Tom. Good to see you posting pictures of your work.

Happy Birthday Carl.

Now that is sweet. I like the color.

Very nice Mercury!

Looks great. I picked up one at the show yesterday.

Bernard I also have an Excel that I use here and one at work. They are over 10 years old and work fine but I do have more than a couple here at home. This is a picture of one.

This sure is nice. Well done sir.

Looks like a Kaiser Daren from R&R that I have. Not sure if it is still in production or not.

Casey I have been giving this a thought for several years. Not sure if have the skill or patients. Not the same but light years ahead of the old school bottom plate style.

I like that Bill.

Mike if you have any contact with him tell him we are praying for him.

Nice work on these.

Looks great Pat, just like the real one does.

Nice work on this. Good to see ideas put to use.

Thank you for the updates Dave. I am glad you are on the positive upswing with your health.

No over the phone Please. They wanted to go to 5 supercenters here in MI. So far we have put a hold on that.
