It is incurable. You can be made comfortable, but you will live with it all your days. We all have it so feel free to keep commiserating.

I looked for a thread about displaying your builds. And while I am certain there are several, for the life of me I couldn't find one. I have a guest bedroom here in my home. It has the usual amenities, but also has a large display cabinet and an 17th century dresser with lots of space. Space for my builds that is! I have builds complete in boxes if they fit after they are complete. I have boxes in the attic as well. I have seen some of the stashes around here and while my own is respectable, it's nowhere near some of you. That being said, if I have a guest they get treated to quite a few of my recent, and not so recent builds. However, it's usually one of my brothers or friends, so they've seen it all and are not impressed.

What a blob of a motor. Do your best brother.

Thank Dan (Straightline) for the suggestion.

It gets better each time I check in.

Huge thanks Dan! Those are going to come in handy. I'll get the main stuff hooked up for sure. As for all that? WOW, for a later date perhaps. Or when I need to impress myself. Thanks buddy. Edit: looking at the single pump diagram makes me think I'll do that. Looks doable for sure.

Are you kidding me? Following!

I always start with more room. I end up in the center 10 inches of space. 😁

Keeps getting better.

While Jake is my favorite Ozzy guitarist, No Rest For The Wicked is one of my top two favorite albums. Zakk's debut and just crammed with great stuff. Check out Breaking All The Rules for truly heavy Ozzy. Brilliant stuff on the entire album.

An absolutely Nutty build. Nothing here I could hope to accomplish for sure. The paint is also off the hook Looking forward to seeing this lay down a patch.

Testors Stoplight Red Metallic

I wasn't sure if they came clear or not. I know they came painted so I went with that.

The Chevelle is an awesome kit and fills a niche you wouldn't expect in terms of kitted muscle. All there really was, was Monograms tilt nose. And it is as good as anything Monogram or Revell we're doing.

Probably more than Im willing to scratch up. But I would be alone in my build. Thanks for info. Bernstein was a focused man in terms of what it took to win.

The Sun continues to do it's job on the paint and clear. Amazing! And hanging out with the Snake.

No jest Sir. And stop calling me Shirley. Think about the timeline. The 66 Chevelle. The Chrysler Atlantic. Those Monster trucks like the Rammunition. There were a lot of things they were doing right at that time. Someone else chime in on the kits I forgot.

And there it is... Thanks Edgar. I had no idea it had quite that much infamy, or what it was. It seems like it was an advantage. Of course I cannot copy it since I have no idea what unit he used or how it was connected. I'll have to go without I guess. Or make my own, since no one would know any better.

Looking very good. I see the finish line from here...

What a righteous build you have here. Lindberg was really giving the big 2 fits at this time Releasing great kits with accurate features of great subjects. You are nailing this one!

Great take on an Historic car and modernizing it. Love the arm and the detailing.

Truly Historic stuff here. Keep it coming.

Those are all good decisions. Wheelbase looks good. That pan is awesome too. Keep cooking!

First off, I'd like to thank Dan (Straightliner) for the (sunbath) idea. As you see it is working. Of course today is only partly sunny, but just the little it got has clearly helped. Between that and buffing I should be able to brighten it up significantly. So thank you Dan. I also need to extend the hood decal to meet the side stripe. I only just noticed it. I snapped some pics of the bag of parts in the box. What I need and have never really gotten is pictures of that cars engine. Some guessing on my part here, but I would like a pic of the actual thing. If anyone has one I would be indebted. The crew was known for throwing jackets and other items over the engine during breaks and between rounds. It was the fastest car in its day the crew protected their work. Bob Glidden also did similar things to protect his sawed in half Dominators and sheet aluminum intake manifolds. I have my work cut out for me.

Thanks Dennis She will get there. Thanks for dropping in.
