Tim W. SoCal Posted August 18 Posted August 18 Rear wheel drive cars with powerful V8 engines in the front have always been, to me, the most fun to drive and use to burn up the road. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 18 Posted August 18 Road trips are some of the things I really miss, being pretty much chained to the Chevelle and DeLorean projects because I promised I'd get MY parts done before walking away. 1
thatz4u Posted August 18 Posted August 18 Away back in 1964 this group & this song were just begining to become popular... Ā 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 19 Posted August 19 "Popular" was the name used by Ford of England for its post-1953 version of the Anglia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_PopularĀ Ā Ā Ā 2
NOBLNG Posted Tuesday at 02:12 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 02:12 AM Anglia is a car built by Ford overseas. 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted Tuesday at 02:44 AM Posted Tuesday at 02:44 AM Overseas built Anglias and Thames Panel Vans are two of my favorite vintage Gasser bodies, as well as that of the Fiat Topolino. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted Tuesday at 02:48 AM Posted Tuesday at 02:48 AM (edited) "Topolino" is a baby Fiat's nickname meaning "little mouse". Ā Edited Tuesday at 02:52 AM by Ace-Garageguy 1
JollySipper Posted Tuesday at 03:38 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:38 AM "Mouse" was a nickname given to the small block Chevy engine when it was at it's height in popularity, and they called the big block the 'Rat'.......... 2
Calb56 Posted Tuesday at 03:46 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:46 AM Rat always reminds me of the misquoted line associated with James Cagney and you thought I was going to use "Cagney" to end my sentence, didn't you? 2
Rodent Posted Tuesday at 03:57 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:57 AM You never know when someone is going to end their sentence withĀ supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 3
Ace-Garageguy Posted Tuesday at 01:02 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:02 PM (edited) Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a nice long word, but is, frankly, puny compared to pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Edited Tuesday at 01:02 PM by Ace-Garageguy punctiliousness
NOBLNG Posted Tuesday at 01:07 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 01:07 PM pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is just silicosis and I bet you can tell that I just cut and pasted that word since it doesnāt start with a capital letter.
Ace-Garageguy Posted Tuesday at 01:26 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:26 PM Letter bombs may contain explosive words. 1
NOBLNG Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM Words organized into a meaningful comprehensive string are what this thread is all about. 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted Tuesday at 06:44 PM Posted Tuesday at 06:44 PM "About how much are you planning to spend on model cars this month?" I was asked, "Less than I spent in a month on alcohol, cigarettes and throwing wild parties when I was in my late twenties!" was my come back. 1
NOBLNG Posted Tuesday at 10:04 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 10:04 PM Back in the purple pond is where far too many of my paint jobs wind up.
thatz4u Posted Tuesday at 10:13 PM Posted Tuesday at 10:13 PM (edited) Up where we belong by Joe Crocker is a song from a movie. Ā Edited Tuesday at 10:13 PM by thatz4u
JollySipper Posted Wednesday at 01:48 AM Posted Wednesday at 01:48 AM Movie soundtracks can have some real good songs on them, the Batman Forever soundtrack being a good example......
Tim W. SoCal Posted Wednesday at 02:01 AM Posted Wednesday at 02:01 AM "Example" is a hard word for my unproductive brain to start a sentence with right now, so hopefully someone else can be more creative.
Rodent Posted Wednesday at 04:37 AM Posted Wednesday at 04:37 AM creative minds build models, others turn into bean curd 2
Ace-Garageguy Posted Wednesday at 12:13 PM Posted Wednesday at 12:13 PM (edited) Curd from milk is used to make casein glue, what Elmer's used to be and why there's a cow on the package, but today Elmer's isĀ polyvinyl acetate (PVA) glue. Edited Wednesday at 12:21 PM by Ace-Garageguy
NOBLNG Posted Wednesday at 01:11 PM Author Posted Wednesday at 01:11 PM Glue is great for joining dis-similar materials, but for styrene to styrene joints I prefer solvent.
Ace-Garageguy Posted Wednesday at 02:34 PM Posted Wednesday at 02:34 PM "Solvent" takes in a wide variety of materials that will dissolve other materials, as sugar and salt are dissolved by water.
Falcon Ranchero Posted Wednesday at 05:57 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:57 PM (edited) Water you guys talking about I thought glue came from old horses. Edited Wednesday at 05:57 PM by Falcon Ranchero 2
