  1. Maybe she thinks she's the Alpha Female.
  2. Test fitting and mockups done many times before even thinking about paint seems to be the norm anymore. While the detailing that the kit makers are putting into kits is improving with most new issues these details also make the different parts hard to get to align with one another often. Your mention of issues with the interior fitting on your latest build and I have shared the same problem as well. When test fitting the interior also look at the area where the windshield and rear window would mount. One area that seems to happen most often has to do with the width of the area where the dash in mounted in the interior and where that will set inside the body. The windshield will sometimes extend below the point where the top of the dash meets the underside of the lower windshield molding, and the windshield will prevent the interior from mounting high enough into the body and in turn does not allow the chassis to mount inside of the body correctly. County to ten and taking a break can also help.
  3. The last sentence of my post was meant to be a tung in cheek remark.
  4. Our Lab used to do much the same thing when napping. Always sounded like he was dreaming of running and barking at something and having a generally good time doing it. Not unlike when we dream sometimes.
  5. Great looking paint finish and the color looking great on this body.
  6. I also like your color choice, remember seeing a one owner '40 long ago that was almost the same shade.
  7. Great looking engine detailing. Nice smooth paint work and trim.
  8. Great looking finishes and boom details.
  9. Like the real world, well used look. Realistic looking patina on the paint finishes and trim.
  10. Great looking trucks and the paint work all looks great. Like the basic work truck look.
  11. Beautiful paint color and finish. Like the chassis detailing.
  12. The body and trim look great and the body proportions seem correct to me. Like the interior detailing.
  13. Great looking paint finishes and colors. Interesting subject.
  14. Great looking paint finish and color. Like the engine setup.
  15. Great looking paint work and sponsor signage.
  16. One can only wonder what the condition of the frame must be in.
  17. Like the patina and rusted metal finish.
  18. Great looking build, well detailed. I like your sponsor Little Debbie.
  19. I agree with you on the sloop back body style. Had a 1:1 '46 Ford sedan with this body style many moons ago.
  20. Great looking Pontiac body style and the colors looks good. Like the engine detailing.

    '62 Bel Air

    Great looking Saturday Night Special at the Drags.
  22. Great looking paint and body.
  23. Beautiful looking finishes and like the detailed flathead.
  24. I also like how birds become so trusting after a time and realize that you're not going to bother them. When I go to refill the feeders, the birds will often wait until I'm in arm's length of the feeder before flying off. Often before I can even walk back to the house they are on the feeder before I even get inside.
  25. We never got that great of a turnout, but that was fine by me. From what I have read about many Waterfowl birds is that the mated pair will usually return to the female's original body of water and territory for breeding. We had a concrete settee at the water's edge and the female would bring her chicks there to get into the shade under it during very hot days. Spiders also liked to build webs in that area as there seems to be a lot of insects as well. The chicks would go after any spider or insect to feed upon. The couple that bought our old home 4 years ago had mentioned that the ducks still keep coming back.
