I like the outside, but that disco dash..........

Nope, it's live tonight.

The news today reported that the last shippment of Twinkies was shipped to Chicago today. Yes, it's the end of the world.

I love reissues, but I can hear all of the gripes and complants about "More crapy reissues when what we really want is new kits" allready.

I've been told that if you haven't grown up by 50 you don't have to. Thats my stand on it anyway.

This is as insane as the Volvo tractor vid, but looks like even more fun!

Collector car values are a strong indicator of popularity, and perception of appearance is a strong part of of a cars popularity. Value is only what someone is willing to pay for something.

True, but when I hear "Chevy " or "Chevrolet" I naturaly think of full the sized cars.

A 1970 Chevy doesn't look as good as a 1935 Chevy. Check prices, which one is worth more in equal condition?

Looks like a great fun toy, but worthless as a farm tool.

They say GM still has a styling department but nobody knows what they do all day. I vote with the pre '70 idea.

Althoe I have severial (I'm old and have earned the right to gripe), Muscle Car is my big one. A Chevelle SS 396 or 454 is a Muscle car IF the factory built it, if you put a 454 in a Chevelle that left the factory with a 307 you have a Street Machine. Muscle cars were factory built, not home built.

If you want to build a '60 the Revell '59 would be a much better starting place, or the MPC '60 for that matter.

To finish something!

Home chores for the next couple of days then back to work. Being a teenager is much more fun than being a responceable adult.

I have tried the hardtop and uptop from the MPC '60 Corvette, and the hardtop from the MPC '57 flip front Corvette and all three will work fine, but the headliner detail in both hardtops will take some work. Downside is that neither hardtop have the quarter windows which must be there as they did not retract. Simple scratch build.

Any blown engine can also run street equipment. The water pump and street pullys are normaly behind the blower drive, close to the block.

Torch cleaners are really files, not drills.

Is your "Bondo Glaze" an air dry product? (without a hardener?) If it is remove it completely and use a product that uses a hardener. I use Evercoat Metal Glaze.

I know a young man that was in your exact situation a few years back. He got HER house into great shape just in time for her new man to walk into a nice place with nothing needed. He had his maxed out Home Depo card to rub salt into that wound.

I'm another body and paint guy, I've been at it for 40 years now. It was a good profesion untill the insurance guys ruined it. Like the OP, I tried to play guitar for years before trying a Harmonica. I was a natural and did quite well with it. I still play open mic nights and set in with some local bands.

What goes Clop-clop, clop-clop, clop-clop, BANG!, clop-clop, clop-clop ? An Amish drive by shooting.

I would so love to see a crusty Cranky-ised 'Vette from thr Lab-Rat-Ory !

I'm being sarcastic, taxes and schooling costs are two of my pet peeves.

Good luck with that, I think 2013 is going to make 1929 look like childs play.
