New Jardiance commercial

I started this for the 24 Hour build In January, but engaged in overcomplicatous and it hasn’t been completed yet. I decided to go the six cylinder route and got hung up on fit and details to make it all fit. I also chose the wrong paint. I thought I had Tamiya yellow but found I had a near empty can. So I found another brand that never dried during the 24 hours. It is dry now and plenty shiny!

Concept cars are either very cool or way off the mark

Now that’s cool. Super unforgettable model!

Forum posts can be both entertaining and frustrating.

Nicely done! I don't believe I've seen one done as the van before!

Happiness is highly overrated.

From the seller side-- I have built in 20% into my prices to allow me to make offers. I don't have the "Make Offer" on my listings because that is just guaranteeing you won't get full price. I do the "Send Offers" every morning, with all eBay allows. I discount it about 12% and I get a lot of purchases. eBay just started Immediate offers, which can be set by sellers to automatically send the offer to everyone who looks at the listing, the moment they do so. That one is unnerving, it felt like the seller was stalking me! Until I learned it was just a bot. On the buyer side-- If someone has the "Make Offer", I'd never just "Buy It Now". I always make an offer and save a few bucks. My offers aren't outrageous so many of them get accepted. And if a seller doesn't have that, I will click the heart to watch the item... then I wait for an offer.

Dale, as great as he looks, is in his 80s! He said he offered to teach people how to do it and assume his aging equipment but nobody wanted to do this work. So it’s over. And he didn’t give any notice because of what happened to Don Holthaus when he graciously gave notice!

Deficiencies that make them idjits in the first place?

I went to a dermatologist for some psoriasis on my knee. They give you the full body check and I had this little mole in my mustache. She did a biopsy and it was a basal cell precancer thingie. I had surgery where they cut open a part of the right side of my face down to my lip. I was knocked out for this and released same day. The first two weeks I wasn't allowed to chew or use my lip. I survived on pasta with meat sauce and macaroni. I lost 10 pounds. Three weeks later the "skin flap" is pretty much healed but the skin is still swollen thick, numb and is either tingly or throbbing. Lotsa pain and I slept on my back on the couch so I couldn't accidently roll over onto my cheek in my sleep. And no hair is growing there so I don't know if I can have a mustache again!

My local Walmart now has a guy at the door putting a yellow highlighter mark on your receipt as you leave the building. No doubt having a lot of theft with people coming back in the store with their bag and duplicating their purchases! Michaels is going down! I heard they are so broke that they cannot replace batteries on the forklifts in the distribution centers so guys are humping loads manually. All brick and mortar stores are in a decline. I just found out my local Staples store is closing. Its a larger one, and they are consolidating in the smaller store one town away, as they try to get everyone to order online instead.

Tolerate stupidity and you will get overrun by idjits!

Super project! I saved photos of a real one in the crate for years hoping to build this one day. You beat me to it! Glad someone built it!

Nice model! My family had both a 1970 Impala Coupe and a 1971 Bel Air sedan when I was growing up.

Super build! I love the color scheme and the headlights!

Desired results are often not achieved by whiney lazy people who refuse to put in the necessary work

Thank you to everyone for their service. I grew up in the Army, I was an Army Brat until I was 16 and my dad retired. Army families are a world of their own. We moved every two or three years so it was an interesting life. I lived in Izmir Turkey from 1966-68 and Pirmasens Germany from 1969-72.

Not even a camera these days... just an iPhone! 😂

Interesting that the post office Pintos showed up at Ollies. I couldn't find them at retail in the real world of stores and shows! I did manage to get one. If anyone bought a bunch of them for other than USPS use, I could use a few sets of those postal decals to build other postal vehicles!

Breakfast is highly overrated, I prefer to just have coffee and wait until lunchtime for any real food.

Funny thing... my eBay sales chime (cha-ching like a cash register) kept going off during the game. So there were folks not watching!

Michaels is slowly going down the tubes. I'm in USA. I wound up with a $50 gift card for free as a credit card premium. I envisioned getting about a dozen of those shoe box sized photo / craft boxes I use for my eBay stamp inventory. I get there and am shocked to see they want $7.99 for a box! These are $2.99 and $3.99 at Hobby Lobby depending on the decoration on them! So at $7.99 I wasn't doing that even with a free card! Then I see their gimmick.. everything in the store is way overpriced and they are depending on their 30-50% sales to bring people in, and at that point the prices are the normal price in competing chains. So right before Christmas I saw the 50% off sale and bought boxes for $3.99. I extinguished my gift card and paid a few cents cash. Never Michaels again!
