  1. I really like that. If I didn't already have several lifetimes worth of projects to get to, I'd consider building one.
  2. Warm, sticky, and slippery can be fun at the right time and place.
  3. Chocolate shorts could be the next big thing.
  4. Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away, but today I'm responsible for correcting a multitude of things that just shouldn't be my problems.
  5. World domination is the goal of a certain Bond-style villain running the (censored).
  6. Gofer Racing has several different sheets of contingency decals, available on eBay. Slixx has several too. Below is their Slixx 7036 Nostalgic Drag Contingency #3 Drag decal
  7. Ultimately it'll go in the '32, but I'll probably put a slightly tired Chebby in it first to get it running quicker. I have almost nothing for Ford Windsor engines, but lots of parts for smallblock Chevrolets. However...that could change. I'm sniffing around on another cheap deal for a much later model 302/5.0 Ford engine. EDIT: For what it's worth, the '32 will go together first with a Ford 8" (not a 9"), 'cause I got a freebie not too long ago. After a while, it'll get a gen-u-ine quick-change. Thing is, I want to be driving the hot rod ASAP, instead of waiting forever while collecting parts and building the engine.
  8. "Adnauseam" is correctly written as two words: ad nauseam.
  9. Radar tracker:
  10. Which must explain the failure of Microsoft, Walmart, etc.
  11. This is one of my favorite models on this site, ever. Seriously. I like it so much I'll probably shamelessly copy it, and man, would I love to have a real one just like it.
  12. And the Chevette was the best-selling small car in the U.S. for model years 1979 and 1980, with 2.8 million sales over its 12 year run. But all public demand really proves is that stunning mediocrity sells well.
  13. Amandine Jones and her sister Fettuccine (in this case pronounced fet-u-seen) might have been famous chefs had it not been for a series of unfortunate events.
  14. bbbbbbutt...it's nookulur !!!!! OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the meantime, I'm holding out for the Studebaker Manta Ray, which obtains its environmentally-sustainable energy from decomposing medical waste fed to genetically-modified electric eels wired in series, living in an onboard tank.
  15. And we get it too. Dissenting opinions not allowed.
  16. Only fix I'm sure of is wrapping the rim with BMF prior to assembly. I'd tried a Q&D coating of a highly chemical resistant epoxy, but getting an even yet thin coat proved to be more difficult than I'd anticipated.
  17. It's still a boring vehicle, and why anyone would want a real one or a model of it escapes me. Thanks for dumping my apparently rabidly offensive post, too. I guess the hyper Jag C-X75 doesn't count as an "EV", even though it's a turbine-electric hybrid? Good to know. Wouldn't want anyone to mistake mentioning a vehicle that achieved the performance of a Bugatti Veyron, the emissions of a Toyota Prius and the pure electric range of a Chevrolet Volt as anything but a rant against EVs.
  18. Infected gangrenous wounds smell like rotting meat.
  19. Glad to see these back, but I bought a boatload of 1960s original issues at semi-unobtainium prices, when the prevailing "expert" opinion was that the tooling was lost and gone forever.
  20. Yes, that's the kit that comes in that box. It's well known by collectors that the box doesn't match the body inside. I researched this thoroughly prior to doing an overseas trade. If you want proof, look for online photos of kits built and for sale. Here's some video evidence:
  21. Underground isn't where I want to be any time soon, but it might be preferable to a "life" spent shivering in the dark, eating bugs raw.
  22. Face your accusers with your head held high.
