"Sniffin' paint since the seventh grade, she was high on Gin and Gator-Aide, On turpentine she lost her luck, fell in front of a speeding pickup truck...... He was a boy of soft demeanor, and he loved his carburetor cleaner, The vapor made a sweet aroma, he sniffed himself into a coma"...........

Thanks for the link, Sidney! They have some cool stuff.........

Thanks for the help, guys...... Brett, I see the Constitution is a skill level 3, that's probably something I can handle...!

Hey, guys, can anyone recommend a good beginner ship model? I like cargo and waring ships from the 1700s-1800s. I don't know much boat lingo, so please speak in layman's terms! Also, what are the advantages of a plastic kit over a wooden one, or vice-versa? Special tools needed? Thanks for any help.....!!

They must have been thinking of Emcee Escher, the hip-hop artist........

Thanks, fellas...... Steve, the pink actually looks good in the car in person, maybe all buttoned up with good outside shots will make it look better.....!!

I don't believe this artist has been posted....... "Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower went up, where the homeless had their homes"..........

Thanks for the kind words, Guys....!! Glad you are enjoying this one..........

I should tell you, I doubt many people have heard the cover....... it's Primus, off the Miscellaneous Debris album. Les Claypools other band, the Frog Brigade, did a tribute to Floyds Animals album, they do it in it's entirety!

I know you guys know the original artist of this one, but can you tell me who did an awesome cover of it..... it's the only band I know of that has done a cover of this song: "Everybody else is just green, have you seen the charts? It's a Hell of a start, it could be made into a monster, If we all pull together as a team"............

You guys must have covered every song ever written! Can you tell us what this one is, Harry? It's a pretty cool quote........

Thanks for the nice comments, everybody! Got some foil work done! Also, I was anxious to see how it would look with the side trim and wheels, so there is a mock-up pic........ All comments welcome.....!!

Thanks a bunch, guys!! A question for those who have built this one..... should I glue the package tray to the interior assembly, or to the inside of the body like the instructions say?

Thank you, guys....!

They are remodeling our apartments, so most of my model stuff is put away. However, I was able to sneak in a paint job over the long weekend. I'm pretty far along on this one, just the suspension and engine need paint and assembly....... Primer and paint are DupliColor, clear is Rustoleum. Interior is a pink color called Sweet Pea from Rustoleum......... Plan is to use Pegasus 4 bar spinner wheels and have a slight foward rake.......... All comments are welcome!!

Hey, Rob! How about a cowl-induction scoop with a box under it leading air from the cowl to the carbs? It might pull more air in because at speed there is a vortex at the base of the windshield.......

I believe one of the round decals with the bird in the center goes on the trunk lid above the right taillight..... Edit... I told you wrong, friend, sorry..... the bird with lettering under it and no circle goes on the trunk, above the taillight.... It's the one between the points of the red hood bulge decal......

Hey, Guys! Big news! In early August Steely Dan will be coming to Raleigh to the Walnut Creek Amphitheater....... Then 2 weeks later, another band I listen to will be there! Gonna be rockin' the Carolinas this fall!

I don't think this band has been covered , yet........ "Take a Jumbo 'cross the water, like to see America, See the girls in California, I'm hoping it's going to come true, But there's not a lot I can do............"

I remember when Hot Rod magazine had a feature called "Posie's Pick", where they featured every month a car built by someone younger than 25.......... I thought that to be pretty cool........

Crash Test Dummies song called "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" The Weird Al version is hilarious!!

"Peace Frog" by the Doors........... also done by Smash Mouth on the Stoned Immaculate album.......

If they are in your picture file, just open them with paint, and save them as JPEGs............ had a similar problem before

Hey, friend...... I may can answer a few of your questions....... Finding some trucks on craigslist will give you an idea of what people may be asking for them, and in what condition. There is a site called searchcraigslist.org just type in "sweptline" and you get all results with that key word.. They put a couple of "hot rod" packages on these trucks, which are pretty rare now. One was called The Dude, it had a 383 but were all long beds. Another was called the Custom Sport Special (CSS) also a long bed, but had a bigger engine than the Dude....... I used to own a '71 Short box sweptline, and wish I still had it......... loved that truck!
