  1. 'Nuts to you!' means something, but I don't have any idea what......
  2. or is Brave enough to do a good job! I worked with some boys painting houses, and I guess they didn't like the fact that I took pride in doing a good job, or that I actually Could do a good job. They didn't 'let' me work there very long........ One kid, the one that disliked me the most, kept saying, "I don't know how he's painting that quarter-round and not getting it all over the floor....." (and him a painter).
  3. Chrome Reverse wheels would look good on ice cream, I do believe!
  4. Thanks, Guys! Too bad there isn't an issue of this kit that has both the 440 and the bazooka tips...........
  5. Hello, folks! I might have a project or two in the future that I would like to find some fluted exhaust tips for......... They used them on the ol' Mopeys from the early '70s, I believe. Is there a source of these, either in a kit or elsewhere? Here's a pic of them........... Thank you fellas for any help with this.....
  6. I was also thinking that! There's a kit or two that has the speedster windscreen, too........
  7. That's where Emmett is any time I'm eating something............ You kind of have to give them a little something, so they don't feel left out!
  8. 'Am I myself, or just another freak?' questioned the song Fire in the Hole by Steely Dan.........
  9. That's an easy question for me! The Centerline Champ wheels are my favorite......
  10. He definitely had his own sense of what comedy was! What I liked about the 'Ernest' movies the most was, between scenes there was a small skit of sorts where Jim played ALL of the characters...... They would 'break the 4th wall' during those skits........
  11. I don't want to jinx it, but my hammy, Boog, has been being super active the past few days! He's been running around here in his ball for 2 or 3 hours this evening, off and on. I put him back in his habitat for water or whatever, then he's ready to run some more....... His type can live up to three years if taken really good care of, but most folks can't keep one six months! He's over a year old, but hopefully he's just getting started........
  12. Days of my youth were spent listening to bands like Primus and Cake.........
  13. Something that I sometimes struggle with....... I hope you heal back to 100%, Bill!
  14. That's a cool little car! What engine does it have? A cammed-up 273 would be too cool in that....... They make hop-up parts for the slant6, too!
  15. Once you realize that in some dimension everything IS happening all at once, your whole perspective changes........
  16. Power bill increases happened when they revamped our apartments, because they gave us larger water heaters and HVAC units.........
  17. That looks good! The '62 is an excellent kit, this will be a cool build.........
  18. There was an aftermarket company in the '60s that made replacement 'kustom' taillights. They were made from red acetate or something similar, and usually featured a chrome bullet, or maybe a chrome starburst or something along those lines....... I've been looking for an example, but can't find one (of course....). Maybe @Ace-Garageguy knows what I'm talking about? Surely Les might know............
  19. Dragons are mostly fictional......... mostly.
  20. That front-end treatment Really works! and those profile shots..........
  21. When they rehabbed these apartments a while back, I was watching all the crews do their work..... The electricians put in all new outlets, and put the face plates/switch covers on with a drill! A bunch of them are cracked because of that........
  22. It's great for a creative outlet, and a type of meditation for me! Plus, I really enjoy the paint process....... I get a lot of satisfaction out of making sure parts are clean, primer is smooth, paint is slick...... It's very rewarding when things go well.
  23. Needs a bit of yellow........... Happy Easter, Guys........
  24. Litter......... lots of litter.
  25. Puppies as smart as Emmett was as a young'un could be house-trained in just a matter of days............
