  1. Going beyond wheels, take a look at the chassis. AMT 71 Duster or RM 68/69 Dart have great full detail chassis and engine bay detail. Once you have the car sitting on a better chassis, take a look at the wheels and tires in these kits.
  2. That is cool ? nice job!
  3. Fun! You have me wanting to push aside my current Jeepster project and pull out my Model A and T parts boxes! And per finding unusual engines I have a Jeep / Buick V6 that’s not doing nuthin!
  4. Absolutely! It comes close to falling together and the chassis / drivetrain is just begging to go under different bodies!
  5. Astronauts in the confines of the space station with no scheduled return date... and we think our Quarantine is tough!
  6. Yes! They have these baby biscuits to gnaw on for that reason. They are 10 months old.
  7. I still have the Weekly Reader with the Apollo 11 astronauts on the cover. I was 10 and understood the significance so I tucked it away.
  8. Got my VW mini Suburban in the mail very quickly! It was mailed the very next day. Interesting piece!
  9. I am pleased that we slipped house arrest and visited with my daughters and the grand babies yesterday. It was our 39th anniversary and we practiced social distancing, sitting in the yard. It was wonderful to get away from current affairs. The twins eating cookies. They are notably bigger than we last saw the close to 3 months ago.
  10. Very cool! I’m resisting pushing my current projects off the bench to work on mine!
  11. Don’t forget the two vertical chrome strips on the rear window. A couple of thin Evergreen strips chromed, I’d just glue with canopy cement to the rear glass once it’s installed.
  12. Two guys who have escaped Coronavirus! Bring us back when this is all over!
  13. I drove one of those briefly in Jamaica many years ago. I was interested in all the interesting cars I saw there. I even have photos of an Australian Valiant. It was also interesting that the taxis were all Chevy Malibu’s. Now I realize they were probably those Iraqi Taxis dumped here from Canada. LHD cars in a RHD country. There was a Hertz car rental up the road from our resort. I walked there and asked to rent the Granada. I drove it around locally for maybe a half hour and brought it back. That confused the counter guy. I explained that I was a car enthusiast and just wanted to drive an interesting car, especially since I had never driven RHD before. The guy asked me if there was anything else I wanted to drive? He let me test drive another couple cars including a Toyota van with 5 speed on the column.
  14. I dunno folks, you couldn’t write a story with all the crazy going on right now. Just when you think things couldn’t get worse! ☹️
  15. My first car was a 1966 Plymouth Valiant V100 2 door sedan with slant 6 / automatic. This is my actual car in Switzerland, the man is my grandfather.
  16. Working on Jeepsters sorted, prepped and painted all the engine bits or both the 4 and V6. Made a pair of distributors.
  17. Hey, we wanted a break from 24/7 Corona coverage and we got it. Be careful what you wish for!
