  1. I got a Monroe Handler sealed kit for $10 at a vendor table. #1 I couldn't believe that's all he wanted for it. #2 I couldn't believe it had been there all day before I found it. Ben, I remember that build. Super work. Don't forget us when you're done.
  2. Herbie is like puppies, how can you not love it?
  3. That's one slippery Buick. I like your wheel choice too.
  4. These are the kind of cool things I remember from your postings elsewhere. They're always engaging.
  5. Now that's a smooth operator. Love your choices, and especially think the wheels give it all its arrogance.
  6. A puddlian o' the well do ne'er For Burns be know'n few dare. Thine spittle haste cast and tru' upon Ye hacken o' verbiage 'n' mess'd yon to'nge
  7. ...as a collective glance is tossed in Ira's general direction.
  8. I'm always leery of unsolicited sites that require file transfers, program downloads or other kinds of direct connections to my computer. I may be stodgy but that may be one reason I've never had a virus detected (being on a Mac may be another reason). This site is probably fine, but if its just for fun..........
  9. This project is quite a treat for me to watch David. I think that engine idea is absolutely brilliant. What an awesome surprise to an already delightful build.
  10. Interesting idea and nicely done. The sort of thing you'd actually see at a car show.
  11. Bullet holes and busted out back window. Very nice touch.
  12. X2. It's tragic to see the classic bodies get scrapped into the short term gratification of racing. BUT if I was in that crowd I would be enthralled to see them race. I guess I'd just have to drink beer and drown the guilt. Exciting build you've got. You nailed it about mopars and racing, they're just meant to look scary mean in race garb. Your Challenger looks exactly right. Keep pushin' cuz now you owe us the finished piece . Love it.
  13. There was a place on earth this night my friends, where the gods looked upon the unwashed with mercy and granted mild temps, dry air and a puff for a breeze. Where the unwashed bowed their heads and said, "it's about time you power mongers." And the paint did fly. Gold can be dicey, maybe you can related Slant. The body work can't have scratches and I still got a little speckling from overspray that I couldn't resolve. But I'm still going to add a layer of turn signal amber to tint the gold some so hopefully I can get away with rubbing the metallic a little.
  14. In some ways I find the dialogue refreshing. "Out of the mouths of babes" and all that. Manners aside, he put it out there, asked, listened to the answer then made a judgement. Grown ups would have just politely kept to themselves and assumed the worst of you.
  15. Fantastic execution. Snapper or high detail, it all boils down to what you bring to it and yours looks really crisp. I drove an 82 Camaro for nine years. No complaints.
  16. CAUTION - RANT: Pretty aggravating, I've finally got all evening to model. Can't do anything until I spray paint. It's all masked and ready but the humidity is 82-percent with a 72 dew point. As my work-mate says, "muggy death." I don't want to chance it but I also don't get building opportunities like this that often. Come November this will be fun to look back on.
  17. They can't show everything online or it would undermine interest in the show before it airs.
  18. There sure have been some killer Monte's the last few months and this one is no exception. Really wonderful.
  19. Wonderful, fresh take on the TA. I never liked the ground effects on these GM cars, so to see it clean is just... fresh.
  20. I never tire of seeing those artillery wheels on vintage speed subjects. Excellent choice.
  21. It's 100-degrees and muggy today in Fargo. What the...? What happened to the North Dakota I used to know? That one (energy efficient) window air conditioner and a fan for the whole house just doesn't cut it these last many weeks. The good news is that AC is in my model room. The bad news is I need to spray paint.
  22. First of all, I love this thing! But it looks like a recipe for bankruptcy. Certainly looks like there are some aircraft parts in there.

    Absolutely superb. A delight to look at.
  24. The whole thing looks really wicked Michael! Don't blow it.
  25. The doors just keep on opening for you my friend, it's a rite of passage and looking at the doors that temporarily remain closed will only frustrate you. Good things come to those who wait and anything worth having is worth waiting for etc, etc, etc. Don't hate me, but impatience is a quality of being 16. I think the other statements above reflect the rest of what I wanted to say.
