Painting can be the most nerve wracking part of building, but can also be the most rewarding.

That's too funny!

Personality is just one trait that makes owning a breed like the bull terrier worth all the stubbornness......

Grandfather sans-a-belt trousers are always a big hit with the ladies.

I REALLY like these guys! I had a kit get lost in the mail, and they sent me another even though it wasn't their fault....... Them and Model Roundup are as good as you'll find......

Here they're putting round-abouts (traffic circles) everywhere......... Seems they have to spend that on something to ensure they can get more.....

Was I even close? Sorry for giving incorrect info, it does look a bunch like the Bat, though.......

The original was built by Bill Hines and was called "The Bat".........

That looks pretty good! and Shaving away the exhaust would allow me to do a custom exhaust, like making scavenger pipes or something along those lines........

That looks pretty close, huh? How different is the actual frame in the '57 kit compared to the '56?

Bill, are there any advantages to going fiberglass over steel?

Number the amount of times that line has been posted in this thread.........

Hello, Fellas! I'll be ordering the '56 Fairlane/Victoria kit soon. From what I've seen of this kit, the chassis and engine are somewhat simplified.... I've been pondering what could be done about swapping something else in. Has anyone done a chassis swap on this kit? It doesn't have to be a 'factory' style chassis.......... In fact, I've got an '89 T Bird chassis that I was wondering if it would fit. Anything that could give me ideas! From pro-tour to kustom, any ideas are welcome.........

Mr. James.... I can understand getting bit by any dog isn't much fun, but please don't hate on the pittie because of it's ignorant owner. It was only following the lead of the small dog, who usually are the ones you have to watch out for. I've known quite a few pitts, and the good ones outnumber the bad. Small dogs, on the other hand, will bite you in a second!

I made myself a bit of New York strip on my little indoor George Foreman grill....... They really do a good job with cooking meats. Had a nice salad, too.......

Feet can sometimes smell like........ corn chips!

That's a lot more work than just putting together a kit! (like I do).......

People like that are few and far between....

Household rules were sometimes unreasonable for me as a kid......

Those wheels really set it off...........

Canada is cleaner than the states, and the people are more polite.

"Elephant" is one of the White Stripes' better albums.

Eye-5 would be a cool name for a band.

Gloss paint jobs are intimidating to some, where I can never pull off weathering......

Thanks, Les man....
