Hmmmmm..... I have four ideas, but have kits for none of them. I think I need to go shopping. Only one is a "hero car", the others are second-banana and one gets destroyed in the first few minutes of its movie.

I keep mine stuck in an old wine cork (natural, not synthetic) when I am not using it.

I have a new can of 1:1 SEM interior paint that was on its side for about a year and it appears to be clogged. I don't know if it is a bad can, or if it was the way it was stored.

Shutting my tablet down now. I have been bombarded with video ads this morning that are making the site so slow it is almost unusable. Ad has to load and start playing before the rest of the site will load. Can be 20-30 seconds or more. Videos are huge in the header and small in the footer. Of course, the header ads still want to be full width, so the birthdays and events aren't visible.

Glad I sold my two sealed snow plows a bit over a year ago. ?

My 2016 Mazda3 has a little motorized screen that pops out of the top of the dash, kind of like a bargain basement heads up display. It shows your speed and your next turn if you are using the factory navigation. After 72k miles, I am quite used to it and think it's a handy feature. (pic from the web)

Brown or white?

There is a Comet rear bumper on e-Bay right now. They are the same, right?

How about a "Worst Thread" thread?

If you wind up using the MM Fathom green, I would definitely use white primer. I have a body I used it on over grey and it came out very dark.

Guess I gotta bump this since nobody has posted for a while. I went to the dentist today. A new dentist. The old one was gloom and doom about my teeth falling out, 9mm pockets, etc. This new guy did a cleaning and x-rays last week and only found a few 4mm pockets and felt that a couple of them were due to the bone removed when my wisdom teeth were removed. I returned today and they did a "deep clean" on the left upper and lower molars (4 total). It was mostly painless and the feeling returned to my mouth very quickly. Next month, they will do the right lower two molars. Uppers are OK.

Anybody here snag any of Paul's Ford or '59 Chevy wagon kits from the Bay?

Those are Hallmark. They have different ones each year.

I owned the Fairlane around the same time Snake painted his Camaro (76-80). Silver and grey was already getting popular on the west coast. Who can forget two tone silver and grey Monte Carlos with Bordello velour interiors? I think "Root Beer Brown" was giving way to grey as the "in" color for new square body GM pickups.

Think of it this way: The extra ~500 lbs on the front wheels wouldn't make it handle too much worse than a big-block B-body already handles (or stops). An ex coworker was doing this swap in 1:1 with a 70 Belvedere. Not sure if he ever finished it or not.

Ugh, I can't remember what car or truck was popular around that time in a dark silver/gunmetal color. Maybe a GM truck? I almost painted my 67 Fairlane GTA that color, but decided to keep the original Springtime Yellow.

for your Tesla

I still generally use a coat hanger myself. It's not as importantnow that we increasingly are using lacquers, but drying upside-down does keep dust and other crud out of the paint. Problem is that I don't dry clean much and subscribe to the Joan Crawford "NO WIRE HANGERS" mantra for clothes. I am running out of wire hangers.

The rivet counter in me wants to chime in and remind y'all that factory hose clamps don't have screws. I like the idea of wrapping wire to make factory hose clamps. The screw clamps would work well for day 2 to day 100+ builds.

course unless it's

68-72 A-bodies had a 112 inch wheelbase on 2-doors, 116 for 4-doors and wagons. The Vista Cruiser was even longer at 121 inches. That's enough to see, even in 1/25th scale.

During the last clearance, the HLs around here seemed to have a ton of MountNGoat kits on sale. The next time I visited my LHS, they had 10-12 MountNGoats in stock. Just sayin'....... It must have worked out, I think they all sold.
