Rodent

And a 6 volt battery Not something that even Bill would attempt in 1/25, but I believe that 55 had cooling vents in the torque converter housing and the 56 added a fluid cooler in the radiator tank. This and the fender vents were supposed to make the passenger compartment cooler. Or just throw away the FordOMatic and use a 3MT.

56 was 12 volt, 55 was 6 volt. Note the cabin air vents on the front fenders of the 56 as well.

Beating the 100 degree heat at home, hanging out with a friend on the NorCal coast. Managed to pull this off in a strange kitchen and on a strange grill without many supplies. New York from Whole Paycheck, corn, salad, and an Oregon beer. Appetizer was an incredible tomato-lentil bruschetta on wheat crackers (friend made). Other pic was the view to my left as we were eating. I guess I should copy this to "what pleased you today).

I don't know Dale, but in one of those "Small World" situations, I work with one of his sons. He and Dale have discussed him taking over the chrome business, but there is the issue of logistics since we are on the opposite side of the country and the equipment isn't exactly small or light and would cost a fortune to ship to California from Pennsylvania.

Greenlight did the Breaking Bad vehicles, including a box truck with Los Pollos Hermanos logos. They even did Walt's Chrysler 300 and Walt Jr's Challenger.The "bad" thing is that they didn't make all of them in the same scale. If they had done them all in 1/64 I would have bought them all!

I have one. It is very nice and looks like styrene. You won't be disappointed!

Went to two more HLs today. Store one had a lot of kits left on clearance, but I didn't get anything. I did get a couple of the 1/64 semi truck cases for $3.24. I have three of them on my desk at work with 1/64 diecast cars sideways in them. I don't have any cars to add, but now that I have two more cases, I will get cars to fill them up. Store 2 is near my work and had almost nothing on clearance. Got the last 1/24 display case for $2.24 though. There must be something about individual store participation though. Yesterday's store and today's #1 stop had much more on clearance than today's #2 stop.

Stopped at HL yesterday and these followed me home. I hadn't seen the Boss anywhere locally yet. They had the Owens on clearance, Mountain Goat, 1/32 firetruck as well. Might check another store today. I didn't need another Fairlane, but I couldn't help myself at the price. Wish they had the Monte Carlo. It's the only example I know of that has a correct 69-up big block.

should take Imodium

I pretty much look at new posts on the same subjects that many of you have mentioned. One difference is where I am when I view the forum. If I am at work, I either skip the under glass and workbench because my work blocks image sharing sites and many of you use Fotki, etc. I wait until I get home to look at them. I never look at drag racing and only look at NASCAR if I see a subject line that interests me (1960s -1974ish).

Did you know that the LH Platform cars were based on the Renault 21/25 ?

Hobby Lobby sale

scented tear gas

with deep fried

Either, but was thinking YouTube.

with beer battered

Will we be treated to reviews?

Thanks guys. My brain wasn't fully engaged either. The box is covered with Japanese writing, but it says "Aoshima" on the lower corner of the back.

Can someone tell me which Skyline curbside kit this engine insert is for?

shopping for guns

After watching HPIGUY's video, I have decided that I don't need it. I didn't get the Hemi version either. I have a friend with a 1:1 '70 Barracuda Gran Coupe, and I cannot unsee the kit's fender lips. YMMV.

Don't wear pajamas

Miles, if you are talking about the ex-Monogram 1/24 GMC that was most recently released as the plow truck, I am fairly sure that I have a spare cab. PM me if you want me to look for it.

Make sure that your car is locked in bear country. The ones in Tahoe, Colorado, (and probably other places) have figured out how to open car doors from the outside. What they HAVEN'T figured out is how to open the door from the inside to get themselves back out. The results aren't pretty.
