  1. My dad was a body and fender man for over 50 years. He also owned his own shop. Bondo dust, paint fumes, working with lead, welding fumes, grinding particles and asbestos. One would think that is what led to his death. Not so. It was the 2 pack a day smoking habit. I think that we are all safe. Unless we are pre-disposed to some chemical that will affect our health. Mike
  2. I LUV IT. My 1:1 1971 351 Mach 1 was that same color. Mike
  3. A big problem with Pension plans is that employees will forego pension payment for increase of benefits and pay. Soon the pension payments owed are into the millions. This pension problem is not limited to businesses. Most Cities and States have this enormous problem. Chicago and Illinois are a perfect example. The solution RAISE TAXES. Mike
  4. I first spray the tires with Testors Dullcote. Let dry, apply decals let dry, spray over decals and let dry. Good luck Mike
  5. Viva Las Vegas
  6. He was very entertaining guy. I think the last time that I saw him was on The Blacklist. Mike
  7. Pearls powders are liquid soluble. They are used to be mixed in with paint to achieve the desired pearl effect. Any contact with any type of liquids, glues included will start the pigments to dissolve. There are tons of different colored embossing powder available. Good luck Mike
  8. You can try to use a printer and decal paper to copy them .
  9. That is what makes America great. Freedom of speech.
  10. Being a truck driver for 45 years I have seen a lot of deer vs vehicle outcomes. The one that sticks in mind Is when a deer crossed over 2 lanes, the medium and then crossed over to the other side and ran right into the rear quarter panel of a car. The poor woman never saw it coming. She probably stopped to change underwear. IMO deer are the stupidest animal on the planet. I don't know why they don't consider cars or trucks dangerous? They have seen what happens to others. Almost all animals run away from cars. But not deer. Mike

  12. This Mommy Rabbit was at my door this morning. Where are Flopsy ,Mopsy.ContonTail, Easter and Playboy at.?
  13. I found these guys while watering our green pepper garden. All of a sudden I see things crawling out of a hole in the dirt. At first I thought that these were big snakes. I relocated them down by the woods by me. I have told my wife not to plant rabbit food. Mike

  19. No more tooth pic
  20. I LUV these AMT kits. Soo, Soo, easy to build with no issues. The small engine leaves plenty of room to detail the engine bay. The paint is Trumpet Gold a Buick color from Scalefinishes. When am I gonna learn to be more careful when taking pictures. I broke off the driver's side mirror. UGH!
  21. Very nice kit to build. No issues. The paint Custom Creative Mystic Black Blue Pearl Base. I gotta remove the white residue from the wax.
  22. After the Muscle Car era did the model companies decide that Malaise era model cars would not sell? Mike
  23. Auto parts stores and Wal-Mart sell 3.oz tubes of Bondo and hardener. Sometimes separately or in one package
