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... 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_Popular 2
Tim W. SoCal Posted August 19 Posted August 19 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 August 19 Posted August 19 (edited) "Topolino" is a baby Fiat's nickname meaning "little mouse". Edited August 19 by Ace-Garageguy 1
JollySipper Posted August 19 Posted August 19 "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 August 19 Posted August 19 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 August 19 Posted August 19 You never know when someone is going to end their sentence with supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 3
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 19 Posted August 19 (edited) Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a nice long word, but is, frankly, puny compared to pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Edited August 19 by Ace-Garageguy punctiliousness
NOBLNG Posted August 19 Author Posted August 19 pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is just silicosis and I bet you can tell that I just cut and pasted that word since it doesn’t start with a capital letter.
NOBLNG Posted August 19 Author Posted August 19 Words organized into a meaningful comprehensive string are what this thread is all about. 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted August 19 Posted August 19 "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 August 19 Author Posted August 19 Back in the purple pond is where far too many of my paint jobs wind up.
thatz4u Posted August 19 Posted August 19 (edited) Up where we belong by Joe Crocker is a song from a movie. Edited August 19 by thatz4u
JollySipper Posted August 20 Posted August 20 Movie soundtracks can have some real good songs on them, the Batman Forever soundtrack being a good example......
Tim W. SoCal Posted August 20 Posted August 20 "Example" is a hard word for my unproductive brain to start a sentence with right now, so hopefully someone else can be more creative.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 20 Posted August 20 (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 is polyvinyl acetate (PVA) glue. Edited August 20 by Ace-Garageguy
NOBLNG Posted August 20 Author Posted August 20 Glue is great for joining dis-similar materials, but for styrene to styrene joints I prefer solvent.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 20 Posted August 20 "Solvent" takes in a wide variety of materials that will dissolve other materials, as sugar and salt are dissolved by water.
Falcon Ranchero Posted August 20 Posted August 20 (edited) Water you guys talking about I thought glue came from old horses. Edited August 20 by Falcon Ranchero 2
