This is very sad news ! My all time favorite role Sean Connery played was in the Disney classic~ Darby O'Gill and the Little People

If you like that sort of stuff, check out Bruce Bickfords movie-Monster Road

This is a classic case of the 'Golden Turd' rule in action If some one else owns it~Its Gold...if I own it, Its a turd...until it changes possession and then it miraculously turns into gold

One of the things I really like about the '35 2dr sedan was that all four side windows were the same cut of glass-one window glass fit any of the 4 side window openings I have this reprint of the sales brochure I'm going to leave my diecast alone, other than having a replica of my Dads car , I really like the sedan delivery

Not sure if this is the sedan delivery that you mentioned (?) It's packed away so I can't get my hands on it I got it years ago and don't remember who made it , my thought was to make copies of the parts needed to build a '35 Ford , but it is too nice to take apart and I really like it as a sedan delivery so I didn't feel the need to sacrifice it knowing it might never be put back together after casting the parts. my Dad had a very nice original '35 Ford 2 dr sedan-so I would have had to come up with a sedan body as well

If that old Ford has been there very long , I'd bet the underside is toast. Between sitting in the dirt rusting the floor and frame going up- and being a convertible that hasn't been covered the carpet and pad has been soaked/ rotting going down. I used to love scrounging junk yards, most of the old yards around me have been cleared out for scrap years ago. A few pictures from the past-

I read The Catcher In the Rye in High School, and have read it a few times since and it gets funnier each time I read it .

I'm pretty sure the momma cat is gone for good-either that stray dog chased her off into the woods (thats what im telling my wife) or more likely that dog killed her. I could just be narrow minded about her fate and blaming the dog when there could be many scenarios that could have happened to her.. One theory I have -but keep to myself is a hawk. The circle of life and all that. I've had people tell me that its wrong of us to have outdoor cats because they kill and eat song birds. I understand that sediment but a cats kill ration of small birds is about 10:1---for every 10 birds they stalk 9 get away. Some times that door swings the other way and the cats get stalked by hawks, we also have a large rafter of wild turkeys, which are mostly docile but I have seen them get aggressive and intimidate the cats.And for the record----turkeys can fly. Here's a shot of the kittens exploring their new world-there are 7 of them , all black, and its near impossible to get a picture of all of them together. I cut the spade shaped hole in the building with a chain saw years ago so the cats can come and go at will-fairly safe from predators and they are out of the weather. I am going to be super protective of them because people are such dickheads about black cats-slow and cautious about who we give any of them to

Sorry to hear about your cat , John. Glad you have another to fill the void. I will openly admit-I am not a cat person, I do respect their place though . Being a dog lover the ratio at our house is (was) 3 indoor cats and 2 outdoor barn cats and ONE dog, Where we live a cat or two is nice to have because of mice , chipmunks ...and when you have those varmints you will get snakes. The last two weeks there has been a dog running loose in our area. It is a large dog and looked to be very well taken care of. It showed up on my property a few times looking for food I'm sure. Because we have two outside cats that live in the barn there is always food and water for them. We knew our momma cat (Stella) had babies a few weeks ago but didnt know exactly where . Most of the time she gives birth in the woods and when the babies are a few weeks old she brings them one at a time closer to the house for us to find. One day a little more than a week ago I saw that stray dog chase Stella across the yard-she outran the dog and made it up a tree, safe for right then. We saw her a few times after that and then she was gone. The next day after we noticed her missing I happened to go in the barn for some reason and heard kittens crying. went in the side room and found 7 black kittens. My wife picked them up and saw that they have teeth starting to come in-so- for the last week I have to buy this kitten milk from the Vet supply store @$4.50 a can along with fancy canned cat food- the part that bothers me the most , for the last two weeks this guy has been on my land every day looking for that dog. Where this trail cam is set up-he is deep on my land ,

I've wondered the same thing over the last year. Adios Scale Auto

One of my all time favorite movies~ Mr. Majestyk , They used clips from this movie in Ford truck commercials for years. In this short clip you see a broken head light repair itself....a few different times, all within 8 minutes

Do you have any solid plans for the "disposal "? You have a few tasty tomatoes in that group....would you be willing to deal on the full group ? If so-I have PM'd you

Fantastic work as always , Dan !

AS SEEN ON TV ! (LoL)

It wasnt today , but I did see it on the road

Last August my wife and I went out to dinner on a Sunday afternoon . After dinner we stopped off to Walmart. We were just about done shopping and headed to the check out when every cell phone in the place lit up with an emergency tone-all those phones going off at the same time was super creepy. About the same time a Walmart associate came on the store intercom and ordered every one to leave their carts where they where and everyone come to the center of the store to hunker down because a tornado was headed straight for us . I didn't count but would guess there was 300 people in the store at that time. After about 7 minutes of the hunker down in the center of the store we could feel and hear the storm closing in on us and the store lights when out , It was totally dark-people were FREAKING out . The small security lights came on with the back up system but only 25% light at best. Start to finish that ordeal took about 20 minutes . That 20 minutes felt like a week and a half ! This took place a week or so after the shooting at a Walmart in Texas . We had a long talk about if and when we should ever go to a Walmart or any other big type stores or any other large gatherings like that in fear of public shootings. We both agreed we didn't want to live in fear of such things and would carry on like it never happened....or it wouldn't happen here....of course . Covid 19 is a whole other thing and it's very real . It's bounds are beyond politics, age, race or religion . It is a health issue /transmitted by human to human contact . I don't think it's going away any time soon ! No one saw this coming ....? No one was ready or prepared . No matter what~that's what happened. At least the next time virus flares up again , and it will, we can't say we were not warned and we are no better prepared then we were 3 months ago . The economy is a secondary issue at this point .

Got this beauty in a trade with a fellow MCM member , even the box is near mint condition

Maybe someone should explain to the advertising agencies that this is a model car site and that car modelers are inherently cheap skates ...if we can't use a 40% coupon we aren't interested

The tail lights look fantastic , Erik

Give Burbank's House of Hobbies a call , they sell on eBay and take phone orders

That's sad.... I was rooting for him to recover

Right or wrong , I like to think of "Grannies" Dodge as a '63 http://www.moparsbymosher.com/projects/garys63/progress/001-x2.htm

I'm surprised there isnt a resin copy of the turtle top from this kit , or I havnt seen one . Here's a picture of a 1974 Dodge I had
