I never even considered that as an option. Maybe someday, 'cause there are a few cars I really would like to have box-stock replicas of. Edit: Nah, probly not. I can find all kinds of ways to complicate even the simplest snapper.

Got two vehicles titled and tagged in person at at the office in less than 15 minutes. One thing about this state...they have done a great job streamlining the process...assuming you have all your docs in a row.

First thing is to decide on today's priorities for procrastination.

Looking good. Really appreciate the info on the mesh for the headlights too. It's the best looking I've seen yet.

Hike on Red Top Mountain sounds like a winner.

Outside here it's 65F, I'm already back from the tag office, it's going to be in the low 80s later, and as soon as I order some AN fittings I'm going for a hike.

"Community values" and the offending thereof are usually held up as the reason for social media censorship, shadow-banning, or deleting comments, but try to get a straight, definitive answer as to what specific words, phrases, or concepts are deemed "offensive" and all you get is generalities and mumbo jumbo, the meaning being "bad is whatever we say it is whenever we say it is, so go pound sand".

Neighbor burning household garbage again. Great weather today, warm, very low humidity, opened up the house and turned on the exhaust fan, and of course now the place is filled with the stench of burning plastic. Guess I'll have to call the FD next time, as although burning yard waste IS legal, which is fine with me, burning garbage is specifically NOT legal, and I'm really tired of the morons who are too stupid to grasp the difference.

That's the only game in town for that car of course, but it's not a well proportioned kit. I started marking one up for cutting to accurize it, got far enough along to know it IS possible to make it look like a GT6, and put it away until I had more time.

Wiggly pigglies all greased up are hard to catch.

No.

King Kong was a hairy old ape, and a hairy old ape was he.

Any chance it was this? Beechcraft Starship, a rare bird indeed. https://vintageaviationnews.com/vintage-aviation/the-last-beechcraft-starships.html

But ackchooally looking behind you is just SOOOOOO passé today. Cameras and screens and software and cabling and stuff make stupid mirrors and looking over your shoulder totally obsolete. Get with the 21st century, man.

I smell a class-action suit coming.

Appeal of a banana can be seen either as Greate Arte, or if you have more sense than money, fruit fly bait. "Look at this greate arte, mommy"

Character flaws have a bad habit of showing up at the worst possible time.

Building inspectors who are power-mad, on the take, or are too reading-challenged to comprehend the codes can make you think about...never mind.

There are elements I like a lot, some I don't. You can dump the huge lift-inducing front opening, for starters. And an EV doesn't need scoops and ducts in places that would be necessary for an ICE-powered vehicle, either. I imagine the designer probably intends all the scoopularity for some "aero" gizmology, but as it's shown, there's not apparently much room for a real-world battery pack...unless it's only supposed to have a 5 mile range, or unless it's built with some kind of ultra thin and compact battery that doesn't exist yet. All that said, it sure as jell would be a head turner...even if it was built of bondo-clad plywood and only had a few lead-acid batteries to run it around a parking lot on a starter motor.

Hard part there is getting him to stand still long enough to scan.

Only thing I recall is that extreme care is required to remove some parts from the trees, particularly the wheels, without damage. Also, the plumbing is kinda springy, and can interfere with the rear body panel fully closing. It's easily remedied by substituting soft wire of the right diameter that will stay in position once it's formed, or...possibly...using a little directed heat to "set" the kit plumbing in a non-interfering shape. EDIT: One more thing. The tubs on these cars were made of aluminum sheet with an almost polished surface. Silver paint isn't very realistic. Something like Alclad or the old Testors buffing metalizer looks much better.

Build skills by pushing yourself to do a little better every time, and trying new things.

DEW Line was a network of early-warning radars built in the frozen north during the Cold War.

There once was a lass from Nantucket.
