Either a charming master-stroke of self-deprecating humor...or just pathetic.

Oh puleeese. ?

Defies logic, too. It's a fairly well equipped shop...Mig and oxyacetylene welding rigs, a sheetmetal brake, bandsaw, cutoff saw, drill press, Bridgeport mill (mine), plenty of vises, clamps, and just about everything you'd need to do average fabrication work...plus a decent stock of sheet steel and tube. Still, the thing he made looked like something you'd find after a bomb went off. Double scary part is that the shop manager didn't realize we couldn't let something like that out the door, even if it had actually functioned...especially on a pretty expensive vintage 1st gen Bronco (the crossmember was for a C6 conversion). Good news is that they trust my judgement, so I raised hello, took the job over and did it right. That was 2019. It's still on the road.

In case anybody needed more proof...

Things that go "bump" in the night are coming for you, powered by A.I.; be afraid...be very afraid.

Missed this one before now. Very nice indeed.

Apparently some have misunderstood this and have tried to make it something it's most definitely not. For everybody's Information, as opposed to FYI Geez.

Okay, Boomers... Really, Zoomers?

Reliable Resin apparently isn't.

Oh baby !!! Nice work indeed.

F everybody's I: How do scammers get private email addresses? https://www.howtogeek.com/180477/htg-explains-how-do-spammers-get-your-email-address/ https://www.startmail.com/email-scammers/

Just a thought...and I don't know what Cali's vehicle insurance laws are...but occasionally I'll have to drive one of mine with an expired tag to road-test, or get the computer to set enough codes to diagnose a problem after the battery has been disconnected. It just doesn't make sense to keep all my cars tagged when they're inop, but prior to testing, I go online and add whatever it is to my insurance policy. In my state, they'll usually let you slide if you're legitimately "testing" or "diagnosing" on an expired tag, BUT IF THERE'S NO INSURANCE, THEY'LL IMPOUND THE CAR AND TAKE YOU TO JAIL.

Except the rocker covers look nothing at all like MEL rocker covers, which have multiple perimeter hold-down bolts. The rocker covers in the kit very obviously represent the OEM alloy parts on the '56-'57 Continental, which is a rear-distributor 368 Lincoln Y-block, pre-MEL, and the rocker covers can not be bolted to the MEL. Granted the rest of the engine is MEL-ish, but why the totally wrong and very distinctive rocker covers? EDIT: And I completely missed the angle-drive mag years ago when I first started looking at this kit as a possible powerplant donor for a Lincoln Y-block 368, to go in a Mercury Mermaid...so my bad on that.

I'm sure you noticed that, besides the stocker, they also make a flathead V8 equipped hot-rod version.

Today's fun summer toy. Sandblasting, outside in the sun, in a full protective suit, mask, gloves, etc. Yippee !!!

I'd really have to disagree with this. I have, let's say, a little experience, and to me, building a good set of custom headers in scale...or real...is one of the most challenging tasks I've come across. And if anything, it's harder in scale.

Cabriolet. Posted above. Different body style. But yes, 1930 and '31 Fords are almost identical...also posted above.

Control what other people focus their energy on, why doncha?
