What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Finding half a worm...........

Sorry, Guys.... I was off-line for a while, power outages and such...... Use just once and destroy, invasion of our piracy, Afterbirth of a nation, you'd starve without your skeleton key.......

Just a bit of an update...... The 409 is finished, and I've started chroming the suspension pieces. Hopefully next update will be a rolling chassis and a stance check......

Yep! Good song..........

Nice Cars! I had an '83 T-Bird in high school, really enjoyed it. It rode and drove better than the fox mustang I had a few years later......... Whats the plan for the V6 car? Stroker small block?

Pendulous Thread by Incubus......... Sheep by Pink Floyd, with an excellent cover by Col. Claypool's Frog Brigade..........

Thank You for the nice comments, Guys! and for the correct info on this kit....... I did see the CBP! Unfortunately, I had too much progress on this to enter it, maybe the next build....... The chrome is from an aerosol can over a black base.....

When Lindberg first released this kit, the cowl area was incorrect, Luckily this one is one of the corrected versions, it has a date of '96 on the box..... The incorrect one has a date of '91 I think.....

The pearl I used will get an almond tint to it if you put more than two or three coats on..... It's an excellent kit, this will be the second one I've built......

How's your thumb now, friend? You may need stitches......... I've done lots of "not very bright" things as far as injuring myself. One of the dumbest things was I got mad at a guy once and punched the taillights out of his truck. I opened the index knuckle on my right hand, so badly that I could see the tendon move when I moved my finger...... That's been a good 15 years ago (I've mellowed out a LOT since then) and still have a pretty prominent scar from it....... I hope your injury isn't going to hinder you building or looking after the Missus...

Hey, Carl friend....! I used Krylon gloss white over a gray primer, then sprayed DupliColor Pearl White over that....... the pearl is a Perfect-Match for a Toyota, and is so thin and translucent that you need a white base for it..........

I don't have much of an update for you guys, but I wanted to show how my experiment with DupliColor Universal Chrome came out........ It's not quite as reflective a finish that some get with Alclad or Spaz Stix, but it will work for the suspension parts on this build.... And I got the belly pan painted and exhaust ran..... Thanks for looking in and feel free to comment......

Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew, Pull and see how much we can undo....

We all know the original artist, let's see who can guess who did a cover of it........ Haplessly passing your time in the grassland away, Only dimly aware of a scent of unease in the air.....

This one is "Only" by Nine Inch Nails

Thank You Charlie..... After doing some digging I think the seat pattern is called "Aztek"...

I just couldn't leave it alone, kept picking at the scab, It was a doorway, tried to seal itself shut, and I climbed in...... Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be, and I can see things I never really should have seen

Thanks, Fellas.... I'll have the old man check out this thread so he can see all your nice comments! BTW, does anyone know what the pattern on the seats is called? It's not houndstooth or paisley, I'm not sure what it's called......

Hey, Michael! The seat I'm sure can be adjusted forward or back............ I remember that some old bench seat cars he had, the driver and passenger had to move together or the seat would catch in the tracks crooked........ A bench is better for having your companion along for a ride with you, she can sit a lot closer......

Hey, Friend....... This is gonna be cool when done! Can you tell us more about the lace transfers? Where you got them, are they dry transfers or stickers? What clears can you use over them? Thanks!

I have a box of music CDs that I will probably never listen to any more, as I have a Napster account............... They carry almost anything you could want to listen to......

That would be an awesome engine to build an A-Bone around.........

Yea, Dad loves the "Mopes" too (as I call them)....... I'm really happy for him being able to get this car. He's had to sell some nice vehicles in the past to feed us kids, something he'll never have to do with this one...... and he paid well less than $20K for it, even less than $15K........

Could they throw in the Astro Supremes from the '60 Starliner? maybe a custom interior....... That would be awesome!
