  1. That's the way I see it. Thanks for posting your philosophy regarding learning.
  2. Beautiful work, sir. And what you're showing here will be the final kick in the tail I've needed to get into 3D printing as soon as I'm moved and set a model shop up again. Brilliant, inspirational, etc. etc. Literally unlimited possibilities.
  3. Are you kidding me?
  4. Figure skating women usually have great legs.
  5. Times like these, ofttimes I wish Atlas would just get on with it and shrug.
  6. Looks really good so far...'cept for a body shop, I'm wondering how you'll do the 2" layer of dust over most everything.
  7. Your research will be priceless for anyone else wanting to do an accurate rendition.
  8. Wunnerful. The Crown conversion, which used the Corvair Saginaw gearbox, worked well. Only problem was that the engine was just a little too far forward in the chassis, limiting seat adjustment. Radiators usually went in front. Guy I ran slaloms against in the Ga.Tech Sports Car Club (he had a Corvair 140-powered Manx on Indy rubber and was unbeatable) later built and ran a big-block, mid-engined Chevy-powered Corvair convert in SCCA, running in A/ Sports Racing against hairy stuff like McLarens. Life was better then.
  9. You can't make this stuff up...
  10. Weather is sometimes described as "raining cars and dogs", whether or not there are really cats and dogs falling from the sky.
  11. Confounding and conflating may have similar but subtly different definitions.
  12. Came across this...
  13. Contestant answers on The Newlywed Game could get pretty racy with double entendre.
  14. Pretty much the textbook definition of "hot rod" in the way-back, when they were the real deal.
  15. Nice shot. The tires look bald. Remember that used tires on budget hot-rods were more about holding air than making a style statement. Far as the date goes, I'd agree with ca. '47. The clothes are right for late '40s, and the whitewalls look like takeoffs from something else in-period (note date on door below).
  16. Sorry to hear that, sir. Best of luck to you moving forward.
  17. "Knows pretty much nothing about anything" is a fitting description of many self-styled "experts".
