One day God was going over the books and noticed something. He went to saint Peter at the gates and said "the next three train engineers coming through are all bad, just send them straight down." Peter agreed and sent the next two straight to the devil. Then a city engineer passed away. At the pearly gates Peter asked "What did you do in life?" The man replied "I was an engineer." Without another word Peter sent him to the devil. The devil asked him the same question but this time he said "City engineer." The devil said "I have a job for you!" A couple weeks later God noticed the error on the books and called Satan. "You've got one of mine down there...you have to give him back." Satan refused. After all, with the city engineer's help the underworld was now a garden spot. Air conditioning, cool tiles to walk on and even cold running water and fountains! God says "Okay, if you won't give him back i'll just sue you for him!" The devil just laughed. God asked "What's so funny?" To which the devil replied "Good luck finding a lawyer!"

Same here.

Love the genre, love the style of them, just not fond of the wheels folks put on them.

Be careful with that joke Harry...it's an antique!

I used to have lysdexia.

I use super sculpey with great results.

Charles Dickens walks into a bar and orders a martini. Bartender asks "Olive or twist?" Two guys walk into a bar...third guy ducked. V.D. is nothing to clap about.

Love it! Sweet pinstriping.

Two guys are going golfing and one says "Hang on a minute I need to stop in the pro-shop for some balls...do you need any?" The other guy says "No thanks, I've got one." "ONE!?...the heck you mean one? You can't golf with one ball!" His friend says "Of course I can it's a special ball." Confused the first guy asks what he means. "Well...let's say I knock it into the rough and can't find it...I just clap my hands and the ball whistles to let me know where it is...it's a special ball...can't lose it." His friend asks "What if you knock it into the water hazzard?" He replies "It floats! Special ball...you can't lose it." Now his friend gets extreme and says "Okay smart guy...what if...what if you're playing in the late evening and it hits a sand trap...what then?" He smiles and says "It glows in the dark!...It's a special ball...you just can't lose it."" Exasperated the first man says "That's just fantastic, where do you get a ball like that?" "Oh...I found it."

Since the nearest one is 125 miles away, about three times a year. It's not enough, believe me!

I've recently gotten back to a long time project and I am having some issues over the firewall/cowl panel. This particular car, a 1977 Dodge Monaco (2 door) was built on the same platform as the 1971-74 Chargers. Here's the rub- Although the AMT Charger and the MPC Monaco have the same length rockers and same size wheel wells, the Monaco's wheelbase was two inches shorter. I want to make it so the Charger chassis goes under the Monaco for details sake, but the Charger engine bay is about four or six scale inches narrower and the inner wells are different. The question is not whether I can make it fit, but rather how do I make it fit in the Monaco, change the wells and still have it fit the chassis? OR- is there another chassis/firewall setup that would work better? Here's a couple pictures to illustrate

Richard won that race in a Plymouth he had sold to a mister Don Robinson, and then rented it back from him for the race. As for the 1969 Plymouth, that was actually a misnomer. The car was really Richard's 1968 with a 1969 hood. Petty Enterprises often sold off older equipment that was still eligible to race as during that time they were still getting factory backing and the King deserved nothing less than the top of the line. Overused equipment was not his style. As for why he would rent his own car back is a matter for speculation, but I personally suspect it had to do with the bulkier 1970 Plymouth verses the more svelt 1968/69. I'll put in a call and see if I can get a little more info on this.

Yessir! I like it! Nicely done, love the color.

Nice! Now all you need is the "Chicken pit Special"

So does Easy-Off. Best two choices.

...And before you ask, decal setting solution won't help either. Follow Joseph's advice.

Nice build. I have all four of the re-release kits and I'm doing a Milk Truck/Milk Trike combo build on another site.

I would use Scotch brand cellophane tape to surround the area and an emery board to file down the handle.

Little Motor Car and Chrometech are both great sources.

Start with plastic as a base and keep it as much plastic as is possible. If you try to start with a resin transkit, you're only asking for a whole new world of troubles.

We're all pulling for you Terry. It must be a McCullough family trait. My buddy Jacen was always a no-nonsense, non sugar coating kinda guy too. You're in a rare position to have a surgeon you like, that's part of the battle right there. Good luck, i'll be praying for you.

I have a turbo gerbil.

That was scarier than anything Hollywood could dream up!

I've seen John's name pop up a couple times over at Coffin Corner 2 recently.
