Street surfaces in a lot of countries are being covered with cork, which doesn't retain heat like pavement and can make tires last longer......

Man, that paint looks really good! So good in fact, that I don't believe I would tempt fate by trying to clear it......... With the luck you've had with this paint job, I believe I would quit while I was ahead! I hope that's an okay suggestion! I would just hate to see you have to strip it again.......

A Place For Build Ideas
JollySipper replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I just learned of this car today. It's a Ferrari 'Thomassima II' based on a 330 (I believe?)...... I almost, almooooooooostt like it better than the Coyote X! -

Bill, I know some people that, the more people that like them and the more friends they have, the better they like themselves! Folks like that can be kinda toxic sometimes...... -

What Did You Have for Dinner?

Bill, Arby's has a brisket sandwich I'm sure you're aware of......... They put fried onion rings and BBQ sauce on them! They're quite good...... Tonight I had chili I made Wednesday on some tater tots....... -
What Did You See In Your Yard Today?
JollySipper replied to Tim W. SoCal's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Saw a cat while out with the dog........ That is kind of a good thing, as the more Emmett is familiar with cats, the less he'll think they're a threat. He had one hiss at him as a puppy, and was kind of unsure about them for a while after. -

That actually sounds good...... of course, I like pineapple on pizza! -
I may have a bicycle project soon!
JollySipper replied to JollySipper's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Yes sir, you can get pretty much whatever you want for a bike anymore! There's a few companies that make Sting Ray clones, in all chrome even....... -

See, guys? This is just a 'daily driver' cruiser with forks and bars........... A snazzy seat and some whitewalls, and presto-chango! Pic found online! -
Michael man, I had my fingers crossed that the Hudson's paint job would go smoothly for you! The final paint and clear always wracks my nerves to do, but it's very rewarding when things go well......... It looks real good! You should foil it, though! It would be about the same amount of work and will look better.....

Very true, Les! While searching around, I have ran across a few 'klunker' type builds............ even ones that started out nice. -

It would be cool to see your cruiser, Bob! I'm thinking that I can grab one of those bikes for about $20 or so.......... It is a thrift store! Parts can get expensive though, especially anything chrome. -
Hey, everyone! While riding through town not too long ago, I passed by a thrift store that had a bunch of bikes out front..... I've always wanted a custom/lowrider bicycle! I do believe that as a gift to myself I may try to pick one of these thrift store bikes up! I've been looking around online at builds and accessories and such. I think that a 'beach cruiser' will be ideal for what I have in mind........ Searching on IG, I found this pic. I don't like the 'twisted' parts, but other than that it's perfect! It's basically a cruiser with forks and handle bars. The girl is giving a 'sign', I thought I should block that......... Any of y'all have any kind of bicycle project going? I know a lot of you like the old Schwinns and such! Also, feel free to post pics you may have from online............ Thanks

That's an awesome view! The light dancing through the clouds makes it a bit more interesting I think.........

Curtis, you were absolutely right about the wheels being on this diecast.......... Here's a pic, I think most of them were yellow? Now a question! Does anyone have one of these and can tell me how the wheels are mounted? I don't generally mess with diecasts, so I'm not sure how they go about that.....

That's pretty neat! Did you see this topic about 3D printed bike engines? The 1/6 scale is being discussed, but one great thing about printing things is you can make them whatever scale you need......... Looks like the builder selling them is scale_model_choppers on Instagram..........
