Not so much an irk, and maybe TMI, but.... Was fairly hot here today, but I went for about a 4 mile walk anyway. Got home, A/C was cranked, but I peeled off my shirt and started making some food. Making some semi-prepared stuff that needed some microwave time and 20 minutes in a 375 oven. No prob, I put a small cookie sheet in the oven and heated it when the oven was preheating. Microwave time was done, I opened the oven door and grabbed the cookie sheet with a single potholder. For some stupid reason, it rotated around between my right thumb and first two fingers and the corner of the 375 degree cookie sheet stopped when it contacted my right nipple. Yes, it hurt. Still hurts. Probably won't be sleeping on my stomach tonight.

I have a bunch of 1/64 stuff at work. The Hooobie Lubie 1/64 semi-truck cases will hold 10-12 1/64 cars sideways and are stackable. I will try to remember to take a pic Tuesday when I am back in the office. The BP Mazda 3 is kinda cool, what is it? Hot Wheels or ?

My '68 Mustang J-code that came to me in 1977 with around 55k miles had a bare cast iron case and an aluminum bellhousing. Tailshaft housing was cast iron as well, IIRC.

Desalination of sea water seems like a noble idea, but the byproduct is warm salty slush. Not the best stuff to put back in the ocean. I guess one could pump seawater a few hundred miles inland, have the desalination plant there, and make a warm salty lake?

A new Tik-Tok challenge!

I have traded a little bit, but I agree that postage is so high that it makes it not so worth it.

"From Here To Eternity" contained an iconic beach lovemaking scene that is still being recreated to this day.

Nothing on that list "floats my boat", but I don't care. As long as whatever it is floats enough other boats to be profitable it's OK and they will continue to issue additional "boat floaters" until they get to me.

As a 24-year former owner of a 68 coupe, another thing I have noticed is that folks that add the '66 roof to the AMT fastback don't usually capture the way the 67-68 rear window appears more "tunneled" than the 65-66.

Same here. On the main MCM site as well, not just the forum.

Anyways, my paternal grandmother was born ~55 miles from you in Rome, and she always said that she was going to fetch her camry (camera) and make our pitchers.

I am not an engineer nor do I know much of anything about injection molding. But, looking at the warped hoods still attached to the tree, I wonder if more attachment points would hold the hood more in shape as it cools. The only Moebius kit I own is the 66 4x4. It doesn't exhibit any warping that I have found yet. I LOLed when I saw they included Twin-I-Beam fender emblems instead of the correct ones for the 4wd. Attention to detail doesn't seem to be their motto.

I have never built the '56 Ford. Maybe I will get one or two this round. I have a friend with five complete running/driving 1:1s, a parts car, and a bunch of parts. He might like a replica of his Victoria or his Crown Victoria.

LOL. When I was in elementary school, my friend Jill had a standard poodle named Cricket. When she asked the teacher if she could bring Cricket for show and tell, the teacher told her that she could, but to please put him in a jar with air holes in the lid.

"Kid" is what baby goats are called, and in Jalisco Mexico they sometimes grow up to be part of a tasty dish called birria.

Well, it's official: He's really dead this time. Confirmed by his son.

The news was posted on Dow's verified Facebook account by his P.R. team. I am not sure how far I would have gone to verify that it was true, considering the source it came from. It's not like TMZ posted a rumor or something.

Floods of modelers jammed into the parking lot on the big day of the 40.2% off sale at Hobby Lobby. (spouse wrote most of this, but I edited it)

Some of Mike's stuff is quite expensive, but it is top notch quality.

Mach 1 also had a nicer interior than the Boss 351, but it was available as an option (John's has it).

A little playing around with Google Lens says 1938 Chevrolet. https://www.mecum.com/lots/DA0915-223362/1938-chevrolet-5-window-coupe/ http://www.hotrodcitylasvegas.com/cars/1938-chevrolet-coupe-street-rod/ https://www.holley.com/garage/view/4391-1938-chevrolet-master/

Intent is where you sleep while camping.

Befuddlment is the state you are in when someone ninja-edits his sentence when you aren't looking.

What color are you going to paint it? ? (j/k, I think we know) An as aside, I think that the Pinto steering wheel in the blue car that Rex posted says a lot about where Ford was going with the Mustangs with base interior from 69-73. Dad had a 1970 65B hardtop for a while. Even though it had the "deluxe" knitted vinyl seats, woodgrain dash, electric seatback release, clock, maplight, etc., it shared the insta-warp multipiece door panels with the base model. Not sure why they didn't use the molded panels on the decor coupe. Really glad to see this kit coming up and I am looking forward to additional variants in the future.

The 1:1 car they scanned has a deluxe interior, so that should make it easier to build a Mach 1 version (for them and for us).
