  1. Wow Jan, that looks absolutely brutal. It screams power and aggression. Nice work on the pro-chargers. I wanted to do the same on mine but I don't have the skills or knowledge to make it convincing.
  2. Say WHAAAT? Naturally, we think of unicycles when we think of Post Office . Must be symbolic. But then, I also never expected to see teamster chic when they recently rolled out ads promoting postal clothing as consumer casual wear.
  3. Yes, I think it's nicer not being a rat rod. Fun little car. Wagons rule. Good job Dominik.
  4. Everything you touch is a class act Rod. I never tire of seeing your engine micro-detailing.
  5. Very nice model. I like your selection of colors. I too am a past owner of two Vega wagons. Your model was a nice reminiscer until I saw your engine and suffered a flashback of post traumatic stress.
  6. Bummer Andy. I've been feeling the pinch lately too, almost 4 weeks since I've modeled. But there's a lot of year left.
  7. Keep your expectations low, then you'll never be disappointed. Right Woody? Before you know it, even a 48 Lincoln or 37 Cord can become a gem. Glad you finished Gerry. For me nothing fuels my desire to build like a completion.
  8. Does moving them to new albums then change the photo's URL address and make them blank out from all your posts that link to them?
  9. Technically yes, one little slip and it's the chair for you and there's much urban legend about it. But I've never heard of it happening and those I know who've had such surgeries were renewed and felt reborn. All the best.
  10. Where've you been dude? You should have been here long before. Glad you added the photos. The Monte is my favorite because it pretty much looks like how most of them looked by Y2K.
  11. The only constant in life is change. I'm not opposed to the upgrade, but as Skip said, wreaked havoc on my mac and I sent notifications of each problem. So if they're indeed correcting these issues I'll accept the change. Until then, I'm still on the old version.
  12. It's not clear to me why he's closing shop other than he's "moving on to whatever else catches his eye." But to go to his site he boldly shows that the museum is closed "forever" and no further explanation is offered. Doesn't that sound a little cold like there's some spite, disappointment or obstacle behind it? He was supposedly a devoted collector and expert, passionately searching the world to recover and meticulously restore one-of-a-kind pieces. Can someone just walk away from that? Even if it's just to cash in, I wouldn't begrudge him that. But no farewell or thank-yous seems odd. It's a unique and important collection.
  13. You have now until December so jump in any time and have fun. Read the first page to make sure your project gets off to the right start.
  14. I'd have to agree with that. My old stuff crinkles more over the years. It seems reasonable the glue will change or dry over time and shrink, taking the delicate foil with it. That doesn't explain crinkles in new products but I'm always leery of the shelf time at hobby shops.
  15. For what it's worth, and I don't know if this is within the spirit of your goals, but from the 1940's and earlier, not all 2x4's were necessarily spot-on accurate anyway because many times builders ripped and planed their boards at the construction sites. Made painfully obvious while renovating my own home and all the walls were wavy because the 2x4 studs were not exactly similar.
  16. So Mr. Mason. Will there be a TFchronos fielded Mopar this time around?
  17. Looks like a good candidate for the Utopian Future CBP
  18. Looks like a good clean build you've got going there. Keep it up and keep us posted.
  19. I love this! That hood is weathering that tells a story. It reminds me of a car I've known that had upper surface damage exactly like that after a storm blew a plywood sheet across it and never got fixed.
  20. Why do some of you guys drink coffee when you can't get to sleep? Wouldn't that be counter productive if you want to fall asleep?
  21. I've noticed that without moderation, it seems like people trash out for a year here. Then after overloading, disappear.
  22. *Sigh!* You just can't make anything easy, can you Jacen? Well, you've got my attention now. For my update, I got a pvc plumbing coupler and a bunch of O-rings yesterday that I'll use for the hubless wheel that will drive my Cherry Bomb. I'm also dumping the kit turbine and going with a techno-flurbo-reactonite sort of thing from a box of "Transformers" parts.
  23. That's fascinating. Much bigger than I thought. Hard to believe it's that big and brush painted. I love the technique under the abdomen. Lots of artistic expression.
  24. The Revell hardtop is quite old so tons of flash, to the point that some detail parts are disfigured. Lots of offset seams. Slight fender flares molded to the body. However, they're not too expensive.
