  1. The UHF channels always had the good stuff=
  2. my Mom used to give me a one dollar bill and send me to the corner store two blocks away to buy her 2 packs of cigarettes , the old guy behind the counter put the 2 pack and the change in the bag and away i went. Today that old guy would be arrested for selling cigarettes to some one under 21 and my Mom would have probably been on the news for child abuse . and now it would take a $20.00 bill to buy the 2 packs of cigarettes. my parents shopped at Kmart, we went to the first Kmart in Garden City Mi some times a few kids would be milling around the model section and they would wheel that little cart over and plug in the flashing blue light then make an announcement over the P.A system -model kits were 3 for $5.00 they carried Testors glue and paint , right next to the Testor glue was the same exact tube but in Kmart brand marking and was a dime or two cheaper per tube
  3. You have a handsome cat , John. I can see the heart pattern in his fur. you got that right !!!
  4. LOL-Yeah , he's in the cupboard with the tuna ! He knows whats in those cans and that they are for him and his cat brothers and sisters. Some times we find tuna on sale cheaper than canned cat food (believe it or not) . They only get it once a week as a treat, Ace will knock a can of tuna out of the cupboard and slap it around like a hockey puck -nothing wrong with his eye sight Thank you all for the kind words about Ace , I will be sure to pass the positive comments along to him !
  5. Hey Charlie Larkin, Any progress or up dates ?

  7. Jimmy Flintstone makes those Falcon sedan delivery , uses the 1960/61 Falcon Ranchero as a donor. here is my AMT 1962 Falcon Sprint- some day I'd like to convert it into a non Sprint 4 dr like the one i once had the black car was a 62 the lite blue one was a 63
  8. We have 3 cats , this is Dinky hogging the heater and Molly watching TV Ace~ he may be a little hard to look at, He was attacked by a stray dog when he was a baby and lost his left eye and right ear. I spent $300.00 at the vet to save a 50 cent alley cat. Here he is guarding the tuna stash in the pantry

  18. Outstanding craftsmanship on this conversion ~ you make it look easy ! Do you have any pictures under the hood ?
  19. Not sure if this has any thing to do with what Ray has mentioned but the other day I got this email , supposed to be from Paypal...but for some reason it didnt look right. The first thing is the font is wrong and after getting Paypal statements for years-it should say 'service @' not-services @ ..Plural . The title of the email said my Paypal account has been locked , then when I opened the email it said my account was 'limited' so I had to go on eBay and buy a model kit just to check....my account is fine and dandy see what the receipent is the email looks real and wanted me to 'log in' and enter my info. to====='re secure my account'
