  1. Where did you get that giant penny?
  2. Don't use super glue on the clear windshield.
  3. Is "spatchcock" a word that gets you kicked off of the forum? https://www.seriouseats.com/2017/01/the-food-lab-how-to-roast-a-butterflied-spatchcocked-chicken.html A little dry rub, a little olive oil, cook on low heat until done. My Weber is about 325 degrees F inside on low. Served with mashed spuds and a big salad. Could also grill some asparagus or corn, but we didn't have any and nobody wanted to go to the store.
  4. I watched this in its entirety last night, and found it charming. I am your age, and scrounged more than a few deposit soda bottles for model money in the very late 60s, so I laughed at Joey's entrepreneurial spirit. Was pixxed when MPC raised the price to $2.25 from $2.00. Had to have "the talk" with the neighbor about the price of his lawn service. Sorry Ralph, I am going to raise my rate 50 cents a week so I can buy models and have extra money for paint.
  5. Biggest visible difference I can think of is that the 79 had the inner door handle very low on the panel. It was moved up top for 1980 and the lock mechanism was changed. Not sure how much detail the kit has in that area.
  6. Born and raised Californian here. I am not too far from the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, and I love the Santa Monica Pier. That said, I absolutely loved this old PBS documentary on Coney Island. https://shop.pbs.org/american-experience-coney-island-dvd/product/CONY601
  7. Hack them up and build one along the lines of this ? It would be the only one of its kind.
  8. Did you spell it with a trailing "n"???
  9. Just finished a road trip in the Mazda3 with a 6 speed manual. Nice light clutch. Wouldn't have been able to walk after this trip with a few of my previous manual cars.
  10. Escaped the triple digit heat at home and currently living like a 1%er on the coast. Good friends, good food, great wine. Going to watch fireworks in the fog tonight.
  11. Just pointing out a modern push-button gearshift
