Pretty cool. Two points... one, you have nothing connecting the front wheels to the steering wheel. Two... why is this not posted "Under Glass?"

Why is this posted in this thread?

Here is a restored '55...

I did that. No response.

Perfect!

Amen x 2.

Jeff... is that you? Back after all this time?

What a cool time capsule!

More like stream of unconsciousness...

Or understood...

In this case peripheral vision has nothing to do with it. You're looking for oncoming traffic.

So I'm sitting in the left turn lane, with one car ahead of me... our light is green. What would a normal driver do? Pull out into the intersection about halfway, then wait for oncoming traffic to clear and make your left turn, or at the very least wait for the light to turn red and then make your left. And maybe the guy behind you can squeeze in his left too, right? Well, this genius just sat there at the crosswalk. Even when oncoming traffic was completely clear and you could have safely made the left turn walking, he still just sat there. Sat there until the light turned red. When the green arrow came on, thank God he had that figured out and he finally made the turn.

Speaking of stupid people, don't forget our elected "leaders." From Snopes.com... During a House Armed Services Committee meeting held on 25 March 2010, Representative Hank Johnson, a Democrat from Lithonia, Georgia, questioned Admiral Robert Willard, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, about a proposal to move 8,000 Marines from the Japanese island of Okinawa to the U.S. Pacific island territory of Guam. In the course of that questioning, Rep. Johnson expressed concern that adding thousands of Marines and their families to Guam might cause that small island to "tip over and capsize." Yessir, that was a United States Congressman worrying that an island would flip over and sink. God help this country...

Don't worry... you're not the only one who didn't think it made any sense.

Depends on the specific situation. For general all-around building, liquid glue (I use Plastrtuct Bondene). Clamp the parts to be glued together, and "paint" the seam with liquid cement. It flows into the seam and "welds" the parts together. No messy "squeeze out" or "strings" like you get with tube glue. For certain other situations, like where parts fit is sloppy or I need to fill the area with something solid...5-minute epoxy. Tube glue if I am gluing a small part in place that needs to be held in position as it dries. Example: side view mirrors. A tiny dab of tube glue on the glue surface of the mirror, than place the mirror in position. The tube glue is thick enough to hold a small part like that in position as it dries, liquid cement wouldn't work well in this instance. CA glue in certain situations, or if bonding dissimilar materials (brass to plastic, wood to plastic, etc.) For windows that fit well, small trim pieces, chrome emblems, anything that needs to be placed on a flat, smooth, usually painted surface: clear acrylic. I use "Future" clear acrylic (it's actually meant to be used on tile or hardwood floors). One bottle of the stuff will last forever. Those are what I use: Liquid cement for 90% of building, epoxy, tube glue, or CA in certain specific situations, and clear acrylic.

Well, strip the parts... then Alclad Gold.

We have a place for motorcycles. It's called "All the Rest." Been there forever.

Heisse Räder... yup, German for "Hot Wheels!" "Die schnellsten Metallautos der Welt!" The fastest metal autos in the world.

FWIW... my favorite TH song from my favorite TH album...

Maybe. But for me, BMF is the only way to go. But that's just me.

Guilty. I bought the stick-on rear window louvers for my '07 GT. I think they look fantastic.

I saw that yesterday. Count me in as a fan of TH, so this is sad news. The thing that gets me is, how can a young man (52) not only accept a diagnosis of terminal cancer, but have the cojones to continue on with a tour? Man oh man, that is something I could never do. I would be a wreck.

A convertible boot is pretty easy to scratchbuild using styrene sheet and Bondo to create the 3D contours. Do a google image search and have at it. You can do it.

Just curious, but before that dream were you smoking anything?

That's a good way to go. Basically you can't mess up. If you do, just pull it off and try again. But I wonder about long-term adhesion, especially around tight radii. Personally, I'd stick with BMF.
