Drunksh? Who'sh a drunksh...hic...eh?

I take my spirits clear (vodka), on ice. No fruit, no mixers, no nothing. Later in the evening, I can do fire breathing tricks, but only if I can stand up!

Jeez! None of us are worthy, particularly me! Stellar build!

Holy Cow! Both builds are just superb! Awesome!

Pretty daggone warped I'd say, but I like it a lot! Great model making my friend!

I know the manager. I'll bet he knows your credit card number. Epstein or Hernadez is the name I'll use for the freebies! Thanks!

I'll be there with Wee Willie (Bill) Wood from Wheel to Wheel Hobbies. We're in the Ramada, by the pool (so I'm told). The doors to our room will be open by at least 4:30 PM on the 17th, so wander by.

Uh-huh. I'd rather use your name.

Yeah? Who's paying for that? Shall we all use your name as the gracious host of the free chowder?

Not anymore! The Ramada is booked solid, and there was no mention of an NNL East "deal" when I booked my room a week or so ago. Makes you wonder what happened to the host hotel "deal", not that I care. I'll see youse Philly Boyz at the cheeseburger joint on Friday, April 17th!

That's me in the background! Blue shirt with Sharon Sandone on the right. When did I get so ancient looking? That's one picture I WON"T be keeping, or sharing.

Looks like the valve covers are from AMT's '64 Chevy kit, although I could be wrong. VERY nice build, regardless of age. Excellent!

Thanks for the link! Gives me an ideear!

You have A LIGHT BOOTH??? Hell, all I have is a spray booth (although it's a big one). I have no room in my ancient, diminutive basement for a light booth. Maybe in the next house...

Not just plain "old folks" like me? Boy. Remind me to thump your head, next time I see you. Whippersnapper!

Holy Cow, Lyle! That's just perfect! I look forward to seeing it in person (and keep your eye on it). LOL!

Try mrknowetall@aol.com. That always works.

Very cool! How's GBK? Long time, no hear from you.

Here's a new one (post, that is). Revell had a NICE built up example (unpainted and no chrome) test shot at the '08 iHobby show. I think we won't see the finished kit until spring of '09, but it's certainly in the works! I see a straight axle drag type '57 in my future! Have patience. The kit WILL see the light of day.

Holy Cow! I'm not an antique sort of a guy, but that Olds is VERY NICE! Let's get it finished, Art!

Somebody is having WAYYYYY too much fun with his builds, and we like every one of them! Cool stuff!

No donations for you! I'll see you at iHobby!

Uhhhhhhh. Could be we'll have to wait until the '09 NNL East. In which case we can all sing Tom a drunken, Happy Birthday song in the hotel bar. Figure 7:30 or 8:00. "Happy birshday do you....(burp)...happy birshday to youuuuuuuuuuuuu...(fart)..........................................(remembring the wordsh).................Happy Birshday........Dear Thommmmmmmmmmmmmmy..........................(gasp)................Happy Birshday to youze.................

NICE! I'm glad the extra parts came in handy for you!

Let's see. I'm as old as the first, slab sided FoMoCo product. You do the math! Think Ford shoebox, first gen.
