  1. give him penicillin
  2. Good to know. A "restomodded" version with the L-79, 4-speed, and maybe a set of rally wheels could be fun.
  3. I had this kit in my hand at the LHS when they first came out, and put it back when I figured out they wanted about $5 over retail for it. Reading all the issues here about warped hoods, windshields that don't fit, plus the "pebble-grain" plastic that David mentioned, I am glad I didn't get one of the earlier issues. I stared at the '66 shortbox for a while, but didn't get it either. I recently pulled the trigger on the '66 4x4 though, and it looks pretty nice overall. Kind of irritated that they left the 2wd decal sheet in it, but I guess "real modelers" can print their own "Four Wheel Drive" inserts for the fender emblems. I have enjoyed watching all of these Ford truck builds come together and will watch yours as well. Good luck with the warpage.
  4. spinach for dessert
  5. I have the 356 coupe. The engine is a little blobular, but overall it is a really nice kit that fits well and "looks like a 356".
  6. I was actually more irked by seeing the pregnant woman smoking a cigarette. Hope they are gone from California before her poor defenseless 3 lb baby is born.
  7. Grandma said "chitlins"
  8. Went to Target today. Coming back to the car, I passed an Altima in the parking lot with plates from about 1/2 way across the country. Man, woman, large dog. Dog was unleashed, and taking a dump in the parking lot. Obviously pregnant woman was watching and smoking a cigarette.
  9. Me too. Same name, same thought processes. Found some extremely tasteless custom mobility scooters that I still can't unsee though.....
  10. In the US, Harbor Freight sells a cheap set of hollow round leather punches. I have found that they work great for cutting out round gauges once they are printed. I couldn't cut out a circle with scissors when I was in third grade and I still can't.
  11. I hate to say "do a spoon test", but do a spoon test. The grey primer will probably darken the blue a bit. But as Jeff says, either one will work.
  12. If it is this one, it is quite recent. It is the one still in hobby shops and Hobby Lobby.
