Old MoPars usually have heavy rust in the lower quarters, behind the back tire......... You would think being coated in burnout rubber would help preserve that area!

Day reflection on a productive job well done always brings a great sense of satisfaction........

1950s cars were very fin-tabulous!

Night Owl is what I'm being right now, since the hammy woke me up just for a treat...........

'Pecans' is one of those words that there is a few ways to pronounce it, depending on where you're from............

I've got an old PS2 and about 20 games........ There's only a few that I play regularly, it's mostly Gran Turismo 4 and a pool/billiards game called Q-Ball, Billiards Master. Ratchet and Clank is another favorite.

The man's been busy! I hope that your wife approves of this color..............

Idiot spelled backwards is toidi.............

That's the part that always wracks my nerves......... It's not the getting a clean paint job, it's having to glue things to that nice paint! This is gonna be a great build.......

That reminds me of the potato launchers that were popular around here for a while! Much cooler as a bait launcher................ The way a lot of them worked involved hairspray and a grill lighter!

Do you need anything from the AMT '69 Camaro? I have the conv. boot and chassis and stuff.......... The engine is built, but I do have it, too.....

My Mom worked for years for our local DSS. She worked the FNS benefits cases (food stamps) for a while. There would be people all the time calling in and cursing at her! They would put in an application one day, and the next day they're calling her swearing wanting their benefits........ She has a bunch of social anxiety now and can't deal with people all that well anymore..........

That could be a win for everybody! I really hope that works out.............

Commonplace is a compound word; my sentence is a compound sentence.........

At least now you know that it's something to consider, using a turbocoupe rear end.......

Does anyone know if the Fox chassis Mustangs and Thunderbirds have the same width rear end? If they do, something like this would be perfect for this project! https://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/pts/d/king-88-thunderbird-turbo-coupe/7840391827.html

We all have our 'ticks'......... It's what makes us unique! Me? I'm schizoid.......

This is shaping up great! I like how the spear part of the side trim is larger than the swoosh below it........ That adds depth to the model! It's all in the subtle details, isn't it?

So do I, Bob! You know how it goes, though........ Not everything does. The plan for the NSX is a nice dark silver color........

Hey, guys! I haven't been showing much in the way of progress here in the WIP section...... I have been working on things, though. Right now I have two builds going that are down to just needing paint to finish........ First is the Tamiya NSX kit! Everything as gar as chassis and interior is done. The body is in final primer. This is Rustoleum primer, which I always have good luck with. Next up is the AMT Starliner kit. This was the first kit that I purchased 'preorder' because I really wanted to make sure that I got one. Again, this kit is pretty much just waiting on body color to go on. Chassis and interior are finished...... The body will hopefully get a light gold color........ As soon as I get some paints for these bodies, I will show more progress! Thanks for looking and for letting me post!

I used to really like Weird Al as a kid! My favorite parody he did was 'Another one rides the bus', mocking the Queen song......... He almost got in trouble over 'Amish Paradise' because Coolio never gave him permission to use his song.........

They get one, don't they Bill? 'cause if you give them an inch, they will take that inch, over and over and over...............

I'm sorry, but I don't remember what I used as a base...... I do remember using the 1K clear from DupliColor, though! and I remember there was a lot of difference in the color once the clear went on....... It's cool to see this build again.....

The convertible is the heaviest body style, too, at least that's what I've always heard! I like what you have planned for this car!

Will the ground effects from the GT work on the hatch? I don't see why they wouldn't....... That could be an eventual thing if you ever have it painted! How streetable will this car be? The thing with a manual, you have more leeway as to what cam you can run..........
