Nah, just a dumbguy who heard American cars were "boats" and wanted to try it out fer hisself.

That's a nice model. I have one in red/black, would have preferred your colors. I'd like to find a real one, but I'm pretty sure they're well beyond what I'd want to pay by now.

I came across this book while researching hot-rod Ferrari transplants, have one on the way.

Thanks for your interest and comments, gentlemen.

Yup, a few others would agree too...

Games and lies will poison a relationship, but some people place little value on honesty and loyalty, and it's best to find out before you sign on the dotted line.

Other than chronicling appalling stupidity in action, there's not much in the news.

Commodity prices are down across the board according to my latest quotes.

Say da huh?

Pretty cool. Some of the best rust and weathering I've ever seen.

Owl pellets are sold as educational material.

Alec Baldwin's oopsie was ruled an "accident".

For the last time...EAT THE BUGS !!!

Can-can dancers usually get my attention.

I did. I like a man who loves his truck.

Stratosphere Tower in Vegas looks like it might be worth a visit.

Franklin Mint made a real beauty in 1/24, running around $100-$150 these days, including shipping. Sometimes you can find a damaged one for a lot less.

"Ours is not to reason why" say some; "phooey" says I.

Beautimus.

Finalized a deal for a little Ford 289 project. Already tanked, bored .060 over and assembled, but left to get a little wet. I'll go back through it, double check everything, shot-peen the rods, have the rotating bits balanced, and most likely do a mild port-match / polish job, cc the chambers. I haven't looked at any of the numbers to see exactly what it is yet, but whatever it is, it's worth what I'm paying. Unfortunately water got on some of the cam lobes and they're a little too pitted to trust with non-roller lifters, but I'd most likely have replaced the cam anyway.

I usually go for a hike at one of my favorite places on the last day of Summer, and I went today and took a few pix.

Saved this little guy from the dumpster, literally. Saw the water damaged box, could barely see through the yellowed plastic, but I figgered why not? Anyway, I got him home and he really isn't too bad a model. Some proportion problems, but I've seen a lot worse.

Sure would like to see some "if you do this, it'll look like this" photos. I don't have much use for unsubstantiated opinions, hearsay, "I think...", or "I use such-and-such" without pictures.
