Intrigued by this conversation, I did some searching on my healthcare provider's website today about PSA testing. This is what they say about it, which surprised me. I am not in a higher risk group.

Greatly is how many builds start out, but some are destined to wind up on the Shelf of Doom or even in a Dumpster.

Not irked, but extremely saddened about what is going on in Hawaii, especially Maui. Had some great times there and I am sad that Lahaina is pretty much gone. Especially the banyan tree that has been peacefully living there since 1873. I saw it and it was magnificent. Pic from the Alii Nui dinner cruise in 2011. #sadface

buy more models

Part rhymes with heart, tart, fart, and shart.

He LIKES PT Cruisers. He's not right in the head..... ?

I just received a kit from Mark today. The "goodie bag" he included was very generous and much appreciated.

Make the trailer available separately and we can "Choose Our Own Combo".

Sunday morning in 1992, giving the '68 Mustang a bath just outside of the garage at my old condo.

Out of models, most WalMarts are, but they still have underwear, cheese, and windshield wiper blades.

Even here in the state of California (that many of you deem Draconian) they won't pull you over on August 4 for tags that expired in July unless you are doing something else to draw attention to yourself. Glad it ended well.

Fire however destroyed all evidence of their history of maleficence.

HPI Guy has done a bunch of weathered builds as well if you want to check out his methods. They are typically "very weathered" compared to Steve's builds and are worth watching IMHO.

Shaken or stirred?

Stuck at $405 (not meeting reserve) for several days. Sold in the last seconds for $750.

This is what I do (Google Photos). I take a picture with my phone, and it appears in Google Photos within a few minutes. Download it to the PC, and add it to the post.

A 1968 Mustang deluxe interior is a poor choice for a first attempt at super-detailing IMHO. Too much going on, too many finishes.

I placed an order this week thinking that you wouldn't get to it until you returned, but you already filled it and created a shipping label. That was unexpected!

And now we have cold air!

I already have a butane torch. After a short detour down a dirt road when I discovered that butane isn't available just everywhere in California anymore, I went through four heat/soak cycles and finally extracted the bugger using a boxend on the hex behind it and pliers on the fitting itself. I installed the new service valve (with the correct 8-side socket) last night and drew a vacuum. I am going to try to charge it tonight if I have time. Now that I have the old valve out, it looks like some type of steel, not aluminum.

Yes, there is getting to be more and more "last mile" Amazon deliveries around here using passenger cars/SUVs. They are typically older (70s) folks in Prius or RAV4 Hybrids but not always.

I don't even particularly like Z4s, but now you guys have me wanting this kit. This forum is full of bad influencers.

Those are available all over the world as the Kia Carens. Someone probably makes a diecast somewhere.

I will definitely be getting the Porter II when it becomes available. It is all kinds of cool. My LHS really doesn't carry Academy, so I will have to find it elsewhere.
