Is that a Dodge? LoL.....

How many blondes does it take to change a light bulb? One to hold the bulb, four to turn the ladder.... How many psychiatrist does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the bulb has to want to change..... How many hillbillys does it take to change a light bulb? What's a light bulb?

Thanks for the replies, Fellas..... I used to love going to the GoodWill in Wilmington, NC. It's a college town (city), so they had a bunch of cool T shirts that you couldn't find elsewhere. Also, the pawn shops there usually had really good second hand CDs that were popular with the college kids.......

It's come time to update some items in my wardrobe....... Shoes, and I need a new belt. Looking at these items online can be both overwhelming and frustrating! I have been wearing the same brand of shoes for years (Skechers Sport), but that only narrows down the selection a little. I do think I have a pair picked out, though.... Picking a belt isn't being very easy. You've got all these materials, double prong buckles, ratcheting types..... I just need a belt! Beltox Fine looks to make a good one. Maybe I'll go with one of theirs....... and How do you size a belt? Do you go by your waist size, or the length you need it to be total? Anyone else dislike shopping for clothing articles? Do any of you just let the Missus pick stuff out for you?

I'm really liking the roadster, Bernard! Has an 'East Coast' vibe to it.......

This looks really nice! I especially like how realistic the dash looks......

Thanks a bunch, there Bruce man! and thank you, Trevor! I guess I should tell about the paint........ I just primed with DupliColor filler primer, a coat of Rustoleum gold, three coats of DupliColor Cordova Brown, then two clear coats. The Rustoleum worked really well under the brown!

Thank you, Carl man....... It really is a very well detailed kit! The engine has to be one of the best FE engines out there.....

Thanks for the comments, guys..... Here's another pic, this one outside.

A member called rightrudder and I both did WIPs, but he did a better job illustrating what was wrong and how to go about fixing it..... Here's a link to his build....

Thanks, fellas! Now, on to the Impala that I have started........

I'm pretty much done with this one, guys! There's some details left to fix under the hood, and I had fish eyes in the headrest so they will be added later. Also I need to find some better wipers, the ones in the kit are not the greatest. Those who have built this kit know of the fitment issues.... seems every part needs to be worked to fit. Thanks to those who followed the WIP..... Please feel free to comment!

and Thank You, Chris....... Would trade with you anytime!

That's a very nice color! Will make for a stunning model........

It would be cool if we could get this topic pinned! Here's a final ride height mock up of a '67 Impala. I'll be using these wheels from the '62 T Bird........

Thank you, my friend! I just finished it up today......

paid licking stamps

covers everything but

Thank you Douglas! Yea, all I've done so far has been cut on the sheet. I use a single blade and just move the ruler over as wide as the trim is.... Something funny? We've both had T Bird projects going, and you said you've an Impala to do..... I also will be building an Impala next! A '67.......

I've been working on the foil for this...... I wanted to show you guys a tip on doing long straight pieces of the trim. What I do is cut the foil on the paper the width of the trim with a straight edge. You want it a little long so you can handle the ends.... Then apply to the body. There's no way I could cut such a straight line on the body! I never had luck trimming on the body, so I had to adapt. So that's what I'm working on right now! Please feel free to comment.........

Those look "wheel" good!

I think the trick with this puppy will be to not let her get riled up to where she's wanting to bite..... I played with her this morning and just didn't play very rough, kinda kept it low key. She was fine with that! Correcting her with a stern voice makes her pause, but her attention span is still a little short......

Cool, guys.... Thank you much for the advice. My neighbor has plenty of experience with dogs, but they've been mostly Rottweilers, which are laid back and eager to please.... I'm thinking maybe she's not the ideal home for this pup.

My neighbor recently took in a puppy to foster for the local rescue. The pup was only about 2 or 3 weeks old when she was turned in to the rescue. She is now going on about 8 weeks. She was separated from her mom and litter mates way too early. Puppies learn their manners from interacting with the litter and mom. Their mother corrects their behavior. She's never had that 'correcting'. We can already tell she will need a male owner, and someone with experience with an unruly dog. She is very "mouthy", as in she likes to bite, especially my neighbor, who the puppy thinks is her mom. She also is starting to 'hump', like her toys and stuff. That's a sign of wanting to have dominance. She is a very sweet pup, but she needs some correcting. Anyone have any ideas as to what to do? I know we have a bunch of animal lovers here, hopefully someone can offer some advice. Thanks.....

Thanks, guys! Thank you, Carl! It looks a little better in person, kind of a chestnut color..... This kit has the option to build it with a three-deuce setup or a single four.....
