  1. My sister owned the GM Geo Prism version of this car. Pure rubbish. I've never seen a car deteriorate so quickly in so many ways.
  2. As it appears on the instruction sheet... Huh.
  3. Had a great trade with JollySipper, tires and decals. Kept in touch the whole time and he takes really good care of his stuff.
  4. Having worked in a radio newsroom for five years and as a TV news producer for five more, I'm troubled to have to call out the national media for some of this. Good cops get the local spotlight now and then, but bad cops get in the national spotlight for days on end which unfairly paints all cops as jack-booted thugs. It makes cop haters feel justified in lashing out against any anonymous member of law enforcement, which may be validated by even more publicity.
  5. I don't know why this car gets such a bad rap for its looks, I've always loved it and you keep presenting subjects that are a bullseye in my interest areas. This is no exception and I love your mods. That profile shot's a winner. Where'd you get the centers to fill such a wide diameter rim?
  6. Ooo baby. Now that's what a T-Bird is meant to look like. Really lovely. I'd still encourage adding the long BMF trim. Rather than adding the foil and trimming the excess, I'd cut the thin strips first, then carefully add them. No risk of scratching your paint with a blade. That's become my preferred method for many applications. Pretty car Pacen.

    Volkswagen

    Looks like the first bug I ever rode in as a kid (neighbor's car). You did a great job.
  8. Really beautiful. You've taken good care of it.
  9. I quite like this. You made some good choices and agree with what's been said. Really looks like a treatment you'd have seen maybe in the 80's.
  10. Yeah, the time thing usually helps people understand. They figure 3-4 hours so when I say 40-plus, they usually don't want to impose on me that bad. Maybe ask if you can trade time. In return he can donate 40 hours of his time to help you build a deck.
  11. It's a beauty Jesse. Nice gap filling in the fiddly areas.
  12. Love how you set up the engine, looks busy. More to this build than meets the eye. Good luck at the starting line.
  13. I love this idea. Sorry I joined this late. Personally, I might have sectioned it longitudinally at the C-pillar to help bring in the rear protrusion. But now that it's in primer, it doesn't look as dramatic as I thought. Keep doing, this is cool.
  14. You've got to be kidding. Other than the Indy 500 (loyally), I don't watch a lot of Indy races. But I happened to watch this one. I think the last, full, non-500 race I watched was the Las Vegas race that claimed Wheldon. Though Wilson was not proclaimed dead earlier, I always suspected he essentially expired at the track and was being kept alive by life support. I fully expected the final word to be within hours. Bummed the rest of that day.
  15. No rearview mirrors? Must be a sun-of-a-gun to get that little bottle of glue to stick.
  16. 70% - 31 of 44. Tough. I don't know my Mopars.
  17. Very smart looking Starliner. Nice job.
  18. My favorite isolated part has to be the little stainless piece behind the hood. Sets off the whole car.
  19. Agreed. The interior is brilliant. Should continue that tone through the exterior. I'll just say the dude's not finished yet.
  20. I was convinced it was a Crosley, I just couldn't get the details to add up.
  21. I think if many of us (if not most of us) invested that kind of time and care into quality work like that, we'd be also be too personally invested in it to let it go for anything less than that kind of money, if at all.
  22. Just read this. Very sad. He was a brilliant artist, sometimes using illusion to take modeling to a new level. I attended one of his workshops and really enjoyed seeing and listening to him explain his vast body of work. What a bummer .
  23. Possibly your city recycling center? Our municipal recycling center accepts old paint. Anything that's still good or reusable they put on the shelves for others to come and take for free; spray paints, stains, house paints, etc.
