  1. and chocolate covered
  2. I have had a Paasche H since the early 1980s and am very happy with it. I use a small compressor with a tank that is also used for car and bicycle tires. I built a hose for the airbrush that has a water trap and a pressure regulator.
  3. Nope. The car that gets destroyed is from a 1963 release. Ordered a kit to build the hero car, bought a kit to do one of the second banana cars from the 80s. Not sure what I am doing yet. Thought about being obscure and doing the Abigail Folger Firebird from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but thought it would be really too obscure. Real pic from the real murder scene.

  4. Trying to cut an aluminum can with an X-Acto sounds like a good way to get a post in the "modeler's scars" thread.
  5. 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.
  6. Lark scooters running
  7. I keep mine stuck in an old wine cork (natural, not synthetic) when I am not using it.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Glad I sold my two sealed snow plows a bit over a year ago. ?
  11. 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)
  12. There is a Comet rear bumper on e-Bay right now. They are the same, right?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Anybody here snag any of Paul's Ford or '59 Chevy wagon kits from the Bay?
  16. Those are Hallmark. They have different ones each year.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
