Well...I'm down in the shop looking at it. And it's sad. First 10-foot impression a few days ago was "golly gee, what a beautiful baby!!! ", but after looking it over carefully, it's a mess. Typical "kustom kar", carved from lead and bondo, very inconsistent panel fit, badly wonked A-pillars and door hinges making the doors WAY too tight to use any solenoid door poppers I've ever seen (which is what it's in for), no weatherstripping where it's really necessary, seems to be just generally poor engineering and fit overall. I'm so disappointed. Kinda like finding out one of the most beautiful women you've ever seen is all bodged plastic surgery and thick makeup.

Shoes for sports somehow became a status symbol; I could understand hand-made English brogues, but sneakers?

Expired canned goods usually won't kill you...at least not immediately.

"It's my company, but I don't have access to that data and have no idea what happened..." Bankman-Fried Really?

Something people tend to forget when gluing anything to any painted surface...whatever you glue to any painted surface will only be adhered as well to the surface as the paint is. Glue doesn't somehow magically stick to what's under the paint. It sticks to the paint, period. So if your paint adhesion isn't the best...

Native English speaking American news-readers who don't know everyday words like "basin". Really?

Really, IMHO the best thing to do is pre-fit, drill, and pin any parts that are going to have to be attached to a painted surface...prior to painting. More effort, but no BS on the back end, as you can use a white PVA glue that won't harm your paint to hold the pins in pre-drilled holes at final assembly.

Parts falling off your vehicle while you're driving can be disconcerting.

Towards a better educated, more rational, better informed, and more involved populace is not, sadly, the direction we're moving.

Forms and paperwork for aircraft mods can weigh as much as the airplane.

Not a hammer.

It came with an optional Chebby engine and custom chrome hubcaps. I don't recall any extra tires but I could be wrong,

Invested time and effort in work you love can yield both financial and emotional rewards.

Exactly.

Days with needles stuck in your eyes seem to drag on forever.

1970s was prior to the age of simps, social-media influencers showing men how to use makeup, and girls who sell their bathwater.

Nah. Just stench and fire.

Job performance isn't really too much of a criteria for remaining employed these days, as far as I can tell.
