  1. yep ...from the box art they look to be 13inchers.

    perfect for a big block powered road racer?

    ooops again Revell....

    Except all the road race 67-69 Camaros I've ever seen were small blocks; usually 302 cid. Big blocks are just too heavy. I've driven one; understeer does not begin to describe it's handling characteristics.

  2. One of my favorites from the grandfather/father era was "You'd complain if you were hung with a new rope." :P

    Another one, which I adopted as a father was "Finish your dinner, don't you know there are kids starving in [insert starving nation du jour here] who'd love to have that food?" ^_^

    I was stopped in my tracks by a 6-year-old daughter who promptly retorted, "It would be moldy by the time it gets there!" :o:P

    First heard the "starving kids" quote in grade school. One of my classmates replied to Sister "then box it up and send it to them." Sister was not amused.

  3. John,

    I did a little bit of poking around and the only cowl hood for a 63 Nova that I could find was for the Trumpeter Nova. :( However, Competition Resin offers the cowl scoop that you could add to your hood in 3", 6" and 9" versions. Alternatively the cowl induction scoop is really not all that hard to make.

  4. I know, I was just asking if it was another language.

    Man, I HATE the internet! Our greatest "communication" tool and all it does is impede communication! I apologize for taking your post wrongly. The word in question is allegedly English (kinda) but the only person I've ever heard use it is from Scotland.

  5. Nobody really wants to hear such shyt as that! I stopped watching the idiot box a long time ago because it's all bad news. I come here to "get away". I build to "get away". All you did with this post is make them more "famous" than they already are....... :angry:

    Actually, some of us DO want to hear about it. I want to hear that they were caught! I want to hear that they are maxing out on charges! I want to hear that they're facing life without parole! One can only hope it's a very short life without parole. I don't think the 'general population' will be very thrilled with a couple of 'kid-killers'.

  6. Ever notice how the car manufacturers like to employ the use of some hot, but sensible woman at their press conferences? Seems that every time, they find a department head that has a PHD in engineering, a MBA degree, but she is also hot? They always seem to use the "this is what the typical successful mom in the US should look like" type of woman...good looking, slender, fit, well educated, Caucasian, young active mom types.

    Just a tongue in cheek comment.

    Aw, man! I hate it when you have to start explaining the jokes. It drains away all the humor.
