Sounds good. How will you keep the wires from unraveling? I'm going to school on your approaches. Looks easy enough to do, but I'm wondering if there might be commercially available wire in this small size for a lazy guy like me.

It doesn't seem like it, but it's a very tense, and intense game. Kind of like a spy movie where you have to cut the red or green cord on the bomb, and they can't touch each other.

Well, Jean Shepherd was already mentioned, and his work encompassed so much more than automotive. Anyone remember his PBS series, "Jean Shepherd's America," plus lots of radio... Not to mention "A Christmas Story"?

PS .. Some members of this forum (not me, maybe Harryp) know how to put clear yellow over chrome plating to creat a shiny gold/brass effect.

Living a life of irony is how I roll.

If that's what you want, get Revell's "Museum" edition, which already has the chrome parts plated gold. Usually available on eBay. This kit version also has pre-cut white top fabric and wood dash veneer, plus museum-style rope and post for display, plus plastic wire wheels (NOT plated) instead of the original kit's covered wheels.

"Car & Driver" (originally "Sports Cars Illustrated") has featured the best automotive journalists ever, whose work was often brilliant and transcended the category. Among my favorites were Ken Purdy, Brock Yates, David E. Davis and Csaba Csere. OOPS -- almost forgot about the great Denise McCluggage, a former race car driver and photographer who contributed often to the magazine. She passed away just a year ago.

Are you sure that isn't an Alvis? PS...it looks fine if you click on the image.

What happens in a chat room that isn't covered somewhere else on the forum?

Kirstie Alley.

Rita Moreno?

Teri Garr

I bet the leftovers are still nicely brined. (Too soon?)

Enough for a return voyage?

Katherine Heigl?

So you paid for her habit.

I have the complete Prisoner series but not Danger Man. I always thought MacGoohan should have been Bond. But he was a very religious man and didn't want to deal with the Bond girls.

The Naked City series was one of the best ever to be seen on TV. Another good one was Arrest and Trial with Frank Converse, the first series to be shot with hand-held 16 mm cameras. Gritty.

Mr. Lucky was based on an old Cary Grant movie. The star, John Vivyan, was cast mostly because he had Cary's cleft chin. Worst TV version in a similar vein: David Soul as Rick Blaine (Bogart) in "Casablanca." Somebody needs to try again.

I have a boxed set of 600 TV western episodes including Annie Oakley, Jim Bowie, Cisco Kid, Death Valley Days, Frontier Doctor, Roy Rogers,Lone Ranger, Judge Roy Bean, Wyatt Earp, Stories of the Century (Jim Davis), Shotgun Slade, 26 Men, Fury, Hawkeye, Bonanza, The Deputy, Wagon Train, Sgt. Preston, Kit Carson, Northwest Passage, Buffalo Bill Jr, Range Rider, Rifleman, Bat Masterson, Sky King, StoneyBurke, Sugarfoot, Brave Eagle, Sheriff of Cochise, Adventures of Champion, and a few more. But there are tons from the later '50s and '60s that aren't here, like Gunsmoke, Cheyenne, Maverick, High Chaparral, and so on. Once upon a time in trivia games, I could name 156 western series from the old days.

Relying on my suspect knowledge of French, I always assumed her name would be pronounced "Do-mairg." Imdb, however, says she insisted it should be "Dah-mure," which doesn't compute for me.

John Steinbeck, Anthony Burgess.

I don't know if those links mentioned it, but Von Dutch was also a knife and gun designer, notably creating the "mare's leg" sawed-off rifle used by Steve McQueen in "Wanted Dead or Alive." I came across that info when I was doing the advertising for Case knives, and didn't really know about his car involvement.

I had all of those. I think the tripod-mounted machine gun was referred to as a "burp gun."

...and this is what 81 can look like. There may have been nips and tucks, but nobody botched anything.
