  1. Neat! I like the stocker series too, I've built two off the Falcon so far. Just bought the 65 Ford. I need this one too.
  2. Very good year for you! I especially like that 32 4 door!
  3. Cool! I wish I could play.. any instrument! Not a musical bone in my body!
  4. The USPS is a mess right now. More packages due to Covid, less employees due to Covid! My bro-in-law works at a major sorting center. USPS has consolidated so much in the past decade, that all the surviving employees have decades of seniority and vacation due to them. He has over 30 years in and his seniority doesn’t even register when he’s requesting holidays or other popular vacation time off. There have been loads of Covid cases at his location and some deaths. He’s been sent home to quarantine for 15 days at least twice. He said there are tons of mail just sitting there and nobody to move it.
  5. I forgot to include my Datsun! It sits on a shortened Foose pickup chassis
  6. Lookin good! I love the subtle dark green!
  7. A great year for you! Your builds are right along my style. And I’m a sucker for replicas of family cars!
  8. I agree! Very nice work! I have been meaning to build both of those kits for a long while too!
  9. I like them! And we’ll give you a third completion for the go cart!
  10. And some of us cool kids have another few days to finish something! ? I love your 32, very much my style!
  11. Wow! Talk about sticking to a theme! Super grouping. Just how many Caddys did you build this year?
  12. Very nice models! Have you thought to build any of the Brazilian unique trucks?
  13. Very cool! Very clean build!
  14. Aha! That’s what I like about this board! Kindred souls! I have the movie saved from Turner Classic Movies. I’ve wondered if I put it down on a show table if anyone would get it! I guess so!
  15. Look A Squirrel ? I have been working at completing the Jeepster, which is at that “glue a part and wait” stage. I had my Jeep parts box nearby. Years ago I bought a bag of broken old Jeeps at a show. This one happened to be the worst in the bag.. an old white plastic version (Matches my Mork & Mindy version), but not sure if it’s an even older release. Some kid has built it without any paint but an over abundance of glue. The axle ends were all broken off. It just got my attention, so I pulled it apart and started sanding. The above photo is the body with gray primer. I had no idea what color to paint it so I decided to go random.. as I went out yesterday to buy beer, I would paint it to match the first Jeep I saw.. as I was turning out of my development I had to wait as an orange Jeep drove by.. so be it! Above photo is the body painted with Chevy engine orange. And here we are right now. I cut the broken axles off their centers and cut new ones from Evergreen rod. I glued them back into the chassis and then sprayed that whole mess flat black. I painted the engine Jeep blue and drilled it for wiring. I made a distributor and glued it on. I will complete the wiring tomorrow. Body was sprayed with Testors Dullcote and it’s all ready for some weathering and rusting. This puppy was missing the hood and tailgate. No worries, she’s going to be a non running project car. Which led me to a trailer. This is the one last seen in the Fireball 500 kit. I didn’t like the hokey double axle setup so I reverted back to single axle, which was really too far forward, so I relocated the axle back some. To be continued...

  19. I like the Luftwagon! Gotta love it when a project takes on a life of its own!
  20. Yea! You get a full point for the hearse, it’s about completions! Doesn’t matter when started. I love the Anglia! The headlight position is way cool and makes the car!
  21. Lookin good! I like your tire carrier and working tailgate! I’m a few steps behind you. I broke my rear axle and springs. Replaced them and I’m back up on wheels.
