I have this set from a 54 Starmaster friction kit if you are interested.

I enjoyed the series called "Call to Glory" starring Craig T. Nelson as a no-nonsense USAF Colonel flying during the heart of the Cold War, especially the Cuban Missile Crisis era. Didn't last long, only one season. Guess people of the mid 80's didn't care for a military hero.

Great looking build, really like that red color. I got one in work (LOL), but I am going Altered class using an Ardun flattie. Hope mine looks as good as yours.

Attended a swap-meet in Shelby, NC, took some kits with me. Scored a damaged Hubley '62 Ford wagon, will be a great parts car for my crew-cab '53 Ford build and a '62 Galaxie body I have that needs chrome pieces. Also got the Monogram Midget racer, a Revell parts pack Oldsmobile engine, and a set of 3D printed drag tires, front and rear. Plus brought home a smidge over $300 cash for the kits I sold. Pretty good day.

I can just see the blood gushing from the holes in my fingers. That is some excellent craftsmanship, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, clean build. Very well put together, especially with the suspension changes.

I dumped most of my B&D tools a few years back. Was having too many issues with them so I switched to Porter Cable, pretty satisfied with the change.

Reminds me of some of Amazon's shipping boxes. I received a box at least that size which contained two books. They are well known for overboxing their shipments.

Other than being engulfed in charcoal smoke, that was the most enjoyable part of the day. I love those girls and would do anything for them.

Just hoping it's not a freight train.

I want to go back to the days of candles and smoke signals. Last night my smart(?)phone would not take the unlock pattern. I tried it several times and in a couple of slightly different patterns. It is now telling me I can only try 7 more times then the phone will erase all data and apps. The nearest T-Mobile store is 25 miles to the south. This morning when I woke up and tried to turn on my bedroom light the remote did not work. I changed the battery, although the one I put in it was a bit different and it still does not work. I am hoping to find a battery and that will be the solution; changing remotes in overhead fans is a royal pita. Back to the telephone. I have just recently been placed in the position of Power of Attorney for my invalid aunt. She owns a small mobile home park, and the rent was due yesterday, but I could not drive the 22 miles to the east yesterday to collect it. I have had a couple of calls from the renters, and I told them I would be there today, that was before my phone became an obstinate south-end of a north bound mule. So now I have to go over there to collect the rent, get back home and then go to T-Mobile to see what the problem with my phone is. Oh, BTW did I mention I am going to be grilling hamburgers for our girls' softball team this afternoon.

You think that's fun, try driving on the interstate with a school activity bus that is governed at 55MPH. Some people do not realize how precious the cargo is on one of those and will cut you off, not allow you to change lanes in order to make a turn, or will let you know you are #1. But I still do it, love my softball girls.

Love these OTB customs. Remember that version of the 57 T-Bird really well, would love to find one. I have the '61 Ford Galaxie on the bench and have used the complete custom front and rear pieces. That thing is really long. https://imgur.com/ptUtELA

A real workhorse. That six-pack has plenty of pulling power, and the overall basic truck look just makes it all the better. Really like this build.

Mine arrived in western North Carolina on Thursday. Pretty good issue.

PM sent.

Very nice looking gasser. All the Tri-Fives make mean gassers. Really like that color, looks almost like a nail polish shade. What is it?

If we are getting tight on server disk space, would putting a limit on the number of photos a person posts help alleviate that problem. I have made this suggestion in the past and was hammered pretty good by the collective body. Almost any build can be adequately presented in 5-6 photos. There is no real need for a dozen or more different angles of the completed build. Moving a camera 5-10 degrees to the right or left does not show any more detail than the original shot. Just my $1.02 worth (inflation).

Just recently got the responsibility as Power of Attorney for my nursing home bound aging aunt. She is wanting to have an auction of all her personal stuff and then rent her house. I went down to the house Saturday to have a look around to see what all would be for sale. I do not have the security code for her alarm system. I entered the house anyway, the alarm successively got louder. I went back outside and called the number on the door, they referred me to another number, which referred me back to the original number. Now as all this is going on the alarm is still activated. Second time I got a "tech" on the line. I explained to him who I was and he told me how to disarm the system. I disarmed it, looked around (it is going to be an intense auction, collections of all forms of figurines), replugged the alarm back in and left the house. The alarm was still sounding when I left. It is my guess from the time I initially set the alarm off until I pulled out of the drive was around 20-30 minutes. At no time did I see any law enforcement. But what irked me the most was the cavalier way in which the "tech" told me, a complete stranger on the telephone with no security codes, how to disarm the system. Monday I went to their local office and cancelled the alarm system. Their answer, "Sorry about your problem."

May have been a PITA, but you seem to have conquered it pretty well.

Those taillights would look neat molded into the hind quarters of a 50-56 Chevy, or even a 50-56 Ford.

9500 1111 4986 5071 4419 42 Your tracking number for the windshield. Just checked it and it is "in transit from one facility to another". Supposed to be there today, but best I can tell it is still at the Greensboro, NC distribution facility.

A set similar to these can be bought at Harbor Freight for a fairly reasonable price. I've had my set for several years and they work well for me.

Going to be one cool Ute, and that Coyote should make it move right along.
