Yup, what he said.

Tenses are what you puts up to sleep in when you go campin'.

Yup. Great stuff.

I don't think Casey does those, but there's a good chance this guy does: https://www.ebay.com/str/3dscaleparts

Maybe the same ones that you already have...I kinda thought they were 17 inchers, but I don't have the kit here at this time to measure. They're pretty narrow too.

Them cows ain'ta gonna milk theyselves.

Cash payment can often substantially lower the cost of goods and services from individuals or small companies.

EDIT: As these things can be street-driven cars lightly prepped to drag (headlights removed, etc.) I figger it's appropriate to post here as a street roadster. This thing's been making a little progress, so I thought I'd give it its own new WIP thread. Started many years ago as a gluebomb rescue / rework, it's been languishing, sad and lonely, until the RoG drag-racing themed group build was proposed. It is, of course, the ancient AMT '29 Ford roadster, originally issued in a double kit with the first tooling of the Ala Kart, and reissued many times. This one's molded in red, so it's not a first-issue, which was molded in white. It came in already painted a somewhat pebbly, insipid yellow, and missing lotsa parts. I'm probably going to leave the yellow, but sand it with 1500 and possibly lightly polish. The bland banana yellow is typical of cheap Earl Scheib-type allover enamel paint jobs a lot of backyard rods of the period ended up with, and I'll be going for the low-gloss look these took on after a few years. To accommodate the flathead V8, the frame lost its center crossmember and battery box. The stock frame would have put the rear fenders pretty high relative to the tires. Can't have that (forgive the poor focus; my duh). After careful measuring, I found that a simple mod to raise the crossmember at the rear of the rails was all that was required to get the tail down to where I wanted it. Fabbing the white "wedges" from rectangular tube stock would be the strongest, cleanest way to accomplish this on a real one too. That dropped the fenders down over the glooey parts-box-sourced quickchange (already hung on an appropriate transverse spring)...though a fair bit of clearancing on the fender unit was necessary. Resulting rear tire clearance will be fine even for narrow slicks, if the axle width is carefully fitted so as to allow movement up into the fenders on bump or hard acceleration. Stance is where it needs to be now for the look I'm after, though the front is only mocked up at this point. More on that later

Look all you like, but don't even think of touching my car...

Benches and desks that are cluttered, while believed by some to indicate a highly creative personality at work, may also simply be the result of a disorganized and ineffective personality.

Cap'n D is widely rumored to have said "Arrrrr, mateys" when his shipboard of directors vetoed a suggestion to offer snail-darter sandwiches as a delicacy in the officers' mess.

Cobra worst is kinda like liverwurst, but entirely different.

List it on eBay as "rare, vintage, collectible plastic kit parts and sprue, $100 OBO"

Stupid generally proves itself. Sorry for the cars.

Girls still smile at me sometimes, but I'm sure they're thinking I remind them of their grandfathers; getting old bites.

Oorah Winfrey probably gets mail meant for Oprah.

To do, or to come up with rationalizations not to do: that is the question.

Anything is more difficult if you make excuses about it to yourself.

Duplicolor can be great, but can also be on the hot side for some of the softer kit plastics, sometimes crazing them. Duplicolor sprays nice, but can be prone to "blushing" in humid conditions, as I said above, but the blush will polish off. This is one of Duplicolors "mica" colors, a finer flake than their "metallics".

Did anybody see where I put the 5/8 open end spanner? Tense I am, being late to post!!!

Kinda similar to the Brazilian Puma...but not.

Oh man...I just can't take the time to go down this rabbithole, though I'm sorely tempted. If you want to while away hours looking at stuff you probably never knew existed, this is a good place to start: https://www.undiscoveredclassics.com/forgotten-fiberglass/

I used to know 'em all, as I followed the industry closely, thinking I'd start my own kit-car company someday. I know I've seen it before, the covered headlights definitely, and the car itself is much better proportioned than the majority of the "original designs" that weren't direct copies of something else. The front engine configuration is somewhat unusual too. Thinking, thinking, thinking...

I hate to be a jerk...but did you ever read the opening post as to how this game is played?

"Earth" is how the British refer to what we call "ground" in electrical systems.
