We used to have a Krispy Kreme in the local Food Lion......... You could go in at 5am and get a dozen fresh glazed donuts for cheap. They had filled ones, too! The lemon creme ones were one of my favorites........

Did you use any kind of primer? How are you painting, airbrush?

The Claypool Lennon Delirium............... They're a little 'out there', but that's kinda the point.

I believe there is one very similar, though not exactly like, your pic in one issue of the Monogram '70 Road Runner......... The one in the Road Runner says "Plymouth Makes It" and has the little devil heart....... Someone could possibly make you some from the pic you posted.

A classic meeting a classic............... Classic........

You did a great job on this, especially the paint work! I am a big fan of these cars......... Is this a Tamiya kit?

I remember your build thread for this one....... a whole bunch of cool mods went into this! If I had the skills, my builds would lean more in this direction.........

Those are two very nice cars! My Dad had a '72 340/auto Road Runner when I was in my teens...... It was red with a white top and interior, with the hood stripes in white. Got to drive it to my highschool graduation! He also had a '73 one, yellow with black stripes. It had a built 340 and 4-speed, would really move!

You're gonna LOVE having a flat screen tv, if that's what you end up with! I went from a CRT television to this flat one, it made my driving game look so much better........

Feet never get cold around Emmett either, as that's where he usually is while I'm eating...........

That looks like a nice place...............

Our maintenance guy has been driving a BMW to work lately...... It's a 325i from the mid-nineties....... It has a Bunch of miles on it, but it's a 5-speed with leather interior! 4-door slick top e36.........

Corner booth is where I'm sittin', feeling kinda long in the tooth....... (From the mad mad ( brilliant? ) mind of Les Claypool...)

Well, those really 'open up' a lot of possibilities...................

Years of life challenges can either shape you into one resilient SOB, or just make you bitter..........

On Napster, you can explore artists similar to your likes......... These guys were listed as similar to the Allman Bros..... I believe their bass player is in this band, too.

I like the color, Michelle..... it looks like Sassy Grass green! Say, have you seen that Rustoleum has clears in different sheens? I believe they make a satin clear...... That might would help liven up your interior some, instead of just flat paint or primer! Just a thought..........

Well, guys, I've had Emmett for a year today! I bought us a New York strip to split this evening........ I know everyone says they have a good dog ( and they are all good! ), but he's 'good' on another level! I think it may be the Pyrenees in him, they have different instincts than most other dogs. I just wish we could meet more people than we have so far, as I worry I may be the only person he ever knows.........

Nice cars are often getting banged up in those chases, especially whatever the bad guy is driving............

Alan, those of the Ed Roth kits that have a bubble top, most of them have a wrap around molded custom interior like would be needed here............

................

That DOES look good! That's one detail that is missing on a lot of bucket seats in kits..........

When everyone got the sad news that Mr. Jairus had passed away, there was a tribute post of sorts made, which showcased a bunch of his sketches........ One really caught my attention, a speedster made from what looks like a 1960 Buick. I have a '59 Buick that I would be willing to cut up for this project. My question for you guys, what kit do you guys think would be the best donor for the 'hot rod' parts for this? Something with a custom interior ( maybe an Ed Roth kit? ) would be ideal, I would think...... and maybe having a 'nailhead' engine already? I'm gonna have to do some research on how to get the right proportions out of the body. Here's the sketch that has me inspired.......... I saw the community build thread of his sketches being built into models, but I don't believe this was one being built....... Thanks for any help with this!

'Spirit Animal' is a kindred soul, only in animal form; mine would probably be a raven...........

All you need is motivation and time, Bill, which hopefully will be in abundance once you're retired.........
