Right here. 1999 Honda Aero 1100. Been riding it since 2002 when I bought it with 1500 miles on it. They only made the 1100 Aeros for 5 years. This is the bike that Harley sued Honda over for infringing on the "copyright sound" of a Harley. Case dismissed. I designed and painted the hard bag graphics and converted the turn signals to '59 Caddy taillights. Got crazy lucky that the Caddy lens diameter is the exact width of the Honda signal lenses.

Oh Claude, will the zaniness ever end? Different is always good so of course I love it. The detail is superb.

Really like the Gremlin.

Really it was a rather clean race until the last 60 or so laps. I’m fine with the ending. Red flags and fuel consumption would have altered the outcome too much. Drivers didn’t like it but they understood the reasoning.

Thanks for posting Steven, wish I coulda made it, Sunday was jam packed for me. New venue looks really nice. Soooooo... didja bring home any bling? ?

Drooling lawyers.

Parliament has denied Harry and Megan's request to pay for extra police security upon their visits back to the old country. This "chase" may have been a play to punctuate their need for extra security from law enforcement. The government’s lawyer, Robert Palmer, said reimbursing police for security at special events such as a marathon, soccer matches and celebrity weddings was not the same as using “police officers as private bodyguards for the wealthy.” AP News.

These surprised me. Having never seen the museum I found myself spending a lot of time pooling through those pics. Thanks Len.

Proof positive that deep dish steelies look right at home on this car. I've always thought it had a stout look and should wear durable shoes. I like it.

In brief, he's exploring only coverage of brush-on or spray can products. Nothing that requires an airbrush. I was glad to see side by side comparisons of finished pieces. I'd like him to have taken it one more step to see how durable they are. His subject is urethane hood ornament replicas, so I'm wondering how some of the paints stand up to handling or the environment.

In BlackSheep’s defense, I do also do this. If I want an item and the buy it now price is fair, why wait to mess around? Amazon wannabe? Sure.

If you don't mind repainting, do that. Your painting technique on your old build is pretty good. Does it mark such progress in your development that you'd like to preserve it? My point is, I keep my crappy old youth builds for nostalgia and to reflect on my modeling growth. My later, better developed stuff is nothing I need to preserve as a growth marker. The clear coat yellowing would annoy me too. Of course, I would then ask myself, "then why not just build a new one?" So I guess this is a pretty wishy-washy answer.

In my droll opinion, all eBay auctions should last ten seconds. Everybody throws in their bid at once and the top bid gets it. You show me an early bidder and I'll show you someone who paid too much. Sniping is the only way to go. If at the last second I enter the price I'm willing to pay and I lose, then I have nothing to cry about. But if I win, there's a good chance I get it for less than my maximum price. Why give others the time and opportunity to drive up your early price?

That was probably me. I’ve advocated for that several times. Yes I still have my other glues but I like to have one where I can manage a viscosity that falls in between the others. It’s part of my tool arsenal.

We'd done this topic before. I just didn't think it's been more than ten years already. YEESH! I guess we're due for a refresh.

For $50 I filled a Ranger pickup bed with boxes of glue bombs from a collectibles garage sale. Lots of garbage but a bashers paradise. Most enjoyable and long lasting $50 I ever spent.

It's just another facet of car culture and understanding that part of it that excites us and invites us to learn more about our interest area. For many, if not most, artistic expression deepens the dimension. Your wife could ask that question of anybody, including her friends, about the interests that fill their pastimes.

While doing a Nerf gun sci fi blaster conversion, I wanted a REALLY flat black, so I used Rustoleum 2X ULTRA MATT. It was ultra-not-very-matt at all. Semi gloss at best. In this case everything worked out fine, but buyer beware.

Which to me begs the question, "If you can't see it, why go looking for it?"

Wow, wonderful piece you have there. Nice work! I even learned something today, a Mercury pickup in '66?

?

I don't see anything about it that really sounds my alarms other than it doesn't seem like a very big operation and has limited supplies, heavy on military and aircraft. Then again, you don't get to see what your shipping price is until after you enter all your shipping, email and contact info.

Cool. I spent way too much time thumbing through almost all of it. Certainly an optimistic view of wagon life.

Whoa! I REALLY like that color. Great choice.
