Under a Heat Advisory until Thursday of next week. Did our foraging early yesterday and home before noon. Only going outside to refill the bird feeder and get the mail till then.

Having fought this battle recently myself and have lost 40 + pounds this last year going from 3X to a very comfortable fitting 2X. Diet has played a very large part since I'm a cookie and sweets hound. I tend to eat more breads than I should but do enjoy dipping bread in Olive Oil with fresh baked Garlic added. Learned to stop with the Ice Cream every night and have gone to just two meals a day with better foods and salads. In the last year we have been going to a freebie exercise class for Seniors at the local Library. Also joined a Snap Fitness Gym in our area. They have discounts for what is known as Silver Slippers for those of us of an advanced age. Great array of equipment and free weights to play with. 30 minutes on a life cycle bike will get your heart started in the morning and will also take the pounds off nicely. Can't tell you how much better I feal now, especially when I look at my pictures from last year's birthday to now.

Great looking paint color and like the tinted-out windows. Like the stance.

Beautiful looking replica.

Great looking build and like the color scheme. Interested in the basic body source having ordered a new '68 Chevy Bel Air two-door long ago. Like the chassis detailing.

Great looking cruiser. Like seeing how different agencies would do their paint jobs. Like the detailing on the lighting equipment and the door shield.

Beautiful paint finish and like the clean and low style.

Remember following your body work on this and the finish and shape is something Ford could of and should have done. Beautiful paint finish and color accents the body lines. Like the wheels & tires along with the stance.

Great looking paint color and finish. The interior color complements the body color well. Nice clean looking engine and chassis.

Like the chassis and engine detailing.

Great show and your LaMans is looking sharp.

Welcome back to modeling David. In the time you have been away the amount of detail on the most modern kits has improved dramatically and as you have mentioned you're finding some fiddly parts in your most resent build. I would agree with the suggestion of maybe building a couple of the Craftsmen style kits to get a pleasant building experience without having to deal with a lot of extra parts and details. You can always try something a little more challenging when you feel like it.

Been hotter than hades for far too long and in dire need of some rain. Last night we had rain and thunder and lightning along with at least 2 to 3 inches of rain. The talking heads on TV think we'll be in the mid - 70s tonight and I have already wiped off the patio furniture for these evening's festivities.

Saw something similar yesterday while shopping at Home Depot. I have used the item that you would soak in water and wring out before putting it over your head and around your neck to keep your head and neck coo while working outside in the heat. Now they are offering much the same thing but as a short or long sleeve shirt. Might be something to look at, didn't notice any unpleasant odors.

Great paint finish and the decals for the Carbon Fiber are nice and smooth.

Great paint finish and clean body trim. Like the engine detailing and the interior.

Great color combination with the contrasting interior color.

Great looking paint color and finish. Clean body trim.

Thank you for the pictures. Great looking builds.

The S-10 chassis under an early GM pickup has become an economic chassis swap on the 1:1 trucks.

Beautiful smooth paint finish and this shade of Blue looks fantastic. Clean body trim and the side boards. like the chassis detailing.

The owner should love looking at your build. Beautiful paint finish and of course the color is the same as well.

The induction setup looks like it was designed for this application.

I think the later, '55 & '56 model years, had some sort of sunshade that would go on the inside of the glass roof portion to block the sun. With time this may be gone now if it even ever had one. The point is this is something a guy could make and maybe use some Velcro to hold in place when needed. By the way I have always liked the '54's styling.

All the different levels give you an opportunity to setup a lot of different scenarios.
