Hand signals were used to indicate direction or lane changes. Sticking your left arm straight out would indicate a left turn and bending the arm at the elbow straight up would indicate a right turn. When they became mandatory, I have no idea.

I'd be surprised if the younger guys get it

Awesome, I can't wait to see more. I grew up in New England and used to tour the battleship Massachusetts many times. I know it's a different class of ship than the Missouri but still just as impressive. I'd love to see these ships still part of our battle groups. Nothing impresses me more than a full broadside salvo from those 16" guns

I've still got the original shoes on the rear of my 96 suburban. I'm the original owner so I know for sure. More amazing to me is I just recently had the original OEM plugs replaced with 208,000 miles on them Not in bad shape considering the mileage.

I'm not into trucks, but this is impressive.

Very nice, beautiful job on it.

I am speechless. I love everything about it including the display base. You are a fortunate man to be able to share the hobby with your wife.

I worry about what's going on inside eyegore's head

That's a great story. What did his parents say ?

No pictures, but just sand them off. Use a small 1" x 1" of 400 grit, follow with same size 800 and finish with 1200. Each successive grit will remove the fine scratches from the previous grit. If you use a big piece of sandpaper you risk damaging surrounding areas of the body. They sand off easily, just use short strokes on the emblem or handle area only.

Hmmm now where have I seen that before
. One of my favorite models I've built. -
How about a '67 Camaro?

I would avoid major body modifications like that if this is your first model. Follow the workbench section and you'll learn a lot.

This has been an excellent thred an very interesting to read all the comments BUT you have all forgotten one thing and that is, if you where eye glasses to help you see better like do when it comes to spraying of any type and using a respirator you basicly have to spray half blind as the arms of the eye glasses hold parts of the respirator out from your skin thus allowing small quantities of paint dust through This may seem small potatoes to you or anyone else that doesn't wear eye glasses BUT rst assured after spending a morning or afternoon spraying you are soon coughing, spluttering and gasping for fresh clean air so if you use eye glasses think about it and take care as well. This comes from a person who experienced months of pain in limb joints and couldn't work out why.

I use a molded silicone half mask. I take my glasses off put on the mask them put my glasses back on. No air leaks, and no problems at all.

Looks very nice so far. The vacuum advance on the distributor is a great detail. Each of your sub assemblies look like models on their own. Which is how it should be.

Very enlightening diagram. A lot of incest in that family tree

Aside from your skills as builder which always amaze me, I think your picture taking skills are improving. I noticed it immediately. When I first saw the car My first thought was John Teresi did another one. His photos are very realistic. How's the 1:1 Chevelle doing ?

Arii American Violence T-Bird. Go to the link, blow up the pic, and read the text. There were a few of these kits that caused a vibrating buzz in ones bowells! If that doesnt get you maybe its "winker signal" will!
