  1. Since we're eliminating useless phrases from our vocabularies... can we put an end to "at the end of the day?" Pleeeeeeez???
  2. I don't appreciate being called out for something that I didn't do. And when it happens I make mention of it. Simple as that. Semantics have nothing to do with it.
  3. In your original post you said that they were "finished models" that weren't quite finished yet. I didn't "nitpick" anything. I didn't say anything "not nice." All I did was ask you a simple question: Are they finished... or not? Your response: you went off on me for no reason at all (see above quote). Then you edited your initial post and reworded it to make me look like I was "picking" on you. Yeah, like you say... some people.
  4. Don't worry about... your name is already there.
  5. So... are they finished or not?
  6. The shifter boot on the Daytona is rubber. Should have painted it flat black.
  7. What you're describing is a mod to an automatic that actually had some benefit. This "three headed monster" Hurst Lightning thing is pure nonsense. No real function, just "flash"... and a huge dose of silly.
  8. Remember... no answers or hints here! Email me your answer at harrypri@att.net or PM me. I need the year, make and model. The answer: 1960 Borgward Isabella
  9. Around here you can find some nice brass hinges in the dollhouse section of Hobby lobby.
  10. An automatic with three shift levers? It's hilarious! Not to mention completely stupid... I had a buddy back then who thought of himself as a real hot rodder... but he couldn't work a stick! His car had an automatic, and every time he would come to a stop he'd put it in neutral, then when starting off he'd "shift" through the gears from "L" to "D"... I never had the heart to tell him that he was being a complete idiot!
  11. I like the idea of making your own. Probably a whole lot cheaper, too.
  12. What was the point? I mean, besides complicating something that was simple...

    1967 Goat

    From ehow.com: As with other cars, Americans have a tendency to reduce the names to a single syllable word. A Corvette becomes a 'vettte, and the Mustang a 'stang. The Barracuda was reduced to 'cuda, eventually influencing Plymouth to refer to the performance models as 'Cuda by 1968. Goat became the single-syllable name for the Pontiac GTO. The original source for using Goat is unknown, but it quickly caught on. A number of sources attribute the name to a reversal of the last two letters in the GTO acronym (GOT) with a long vowel sound applied to the "O."
  14. Simple. Lay it down flat and use your X-acto knife to cut the tip to whatever shape you want.
  15. Before you get too excited, check out the number of views on "What did you get today"... You have a long way to go.
  16. There's nothing wrong with being a member here and not posting your work. We have plenty of members who never post their own work, for whatever reason. That's ok... you can participate here in any way you like. There's no rule here that says you have to post pictures of your work, but in my opinion, if someone does decide to post their work, it's only fair for the rest of the members to be able to talk about it. Like I said before... if any member doesn't want their work commented on, that's fine... simply don't post your work. But if a member does post pictures, commentary from others is to be expercted, not discouraged!
  17. I know. It's getting harder and harder to find photos that'll fool you guys... and that I haven't used already.
  18. A picture alone isn't a review. If it was, we could just show you photos of the kit parts in the magazine's "Kit Reviews" column and save Larry Greenberg a lot of time!
  19. IFS=independent front suspension, IRS=independent rear suspension (or Infernal Revenue Service!!!)
  20. My opinion is that if you post your work here, any comments, positive and negative, are part of the deal. It's up to each individual as to what they want to say (or not say)... but once you show the world what you did, the world has the right to comment. If you can't take criticism, don't post pictures of your work. As far as "critical" comments... there's a right way and a wrong way to criticize. Be smart about it.
  21. Well, this one is a little messed up. Chopt31 gave away the answer, and I don't know how many of you saw that, so the voting isn't really legitimate. But anyway, 51 said Real, 12 said Model. It's REAL. Auto ID Quiz coming Monday.
  22. We need an "Other Models" area here. Gregg!!!
