  1. What is it? A Polara or something?
  2. Looks kinda like something you would use to pull a cable or wire tight..........
  3. Sweaters made out of reindeer would probably be pretty itchy........... (LoL)
  4. I can usually get fair results with the Rustoleum paints, but you HAVE to have a good even coat of Their primer on! Don't trust that because the can says 2n1, that you don't need a separate primer......... This is their flat black primer with two coats of their high-gloss black. I didn't need to polish, but it might wouldn't hurt for me to..... I'm using the 'oleum on this project because the depth of the shine is about right for a vintage auto..... If I was going after a more 'showy' paint job, I would use DupliColor's paint system........
  5. Very cool idea with the decals........... This all looks great!
  6. That's a cool car, Anton! It does look a lot better with the chrome grille and headlight surrounds.........
  7. Magic marker brings back an old memory, as I woke up from a party once and these two girls had drawn ALL OVER me............
  8. Michelle, you're as big a fan of the General as I am of the Coyote X!
  9. Run away from that very difficult sentence, I must!
  10. This man's priorities are in order........
  11. Some time back I worked painting a house in a nice neighborhood down in Wilmington...... Their neighbor had one he was letting get some air one day...... They really are sharp cars in person!
  12. This is just a sharp car to me......... This one is on Craigslist right now. If it was a V8, it would be perfect! This one is a turbocoupe, which is still cool........
  13. Yep, that was them! They were kind of a faux wire wheel that looked a Lot better without the spokes......
  14. With DupliColor, the color of the primer will greatly affect the final color! Those Perfect Match paints are pretty thin.........
  15. Smile......... Tomorrow is gonna be worse!
  16. Does this car have those 'basket' wheels, but with the basket removed? I've always liked that look! Nothing said 'low budget hotrod' better.........
  17. Nathan, man! These are probably worth at least buying two of each.......... One to open, one to shelve! My old man has a little toy from McDonald's that is about 40 years or so old. It's the Hamburgular in a little pull-back car, still in it's blister (on a card! ). They were so mass-produced, but went to kids who destroyed them....... There's not any telling what it's worth (maybe not much), but it is worth more in it's original package.......
  18. Geezers usually have a lot that they can teach younger folk.........
  19. Ones who know who Shannon Hoon was are most likely a '90s era neo-hippie............
  20. They say that a dog is 'at home' when they can sleep on their backs...... Something about them feeling safe enough to.
  21. I saw this on Wednesday......... I used to watch this little show called 'Truth or Scare' that she hosted. It was kinda like a scary Unsolved Mysteries for kids..... It seemed she never was one to draw attention to herself, just your typical respectable young lady......
  22. Emmett's having another flying upside-down dream........... I think I'll start celebrating his birthdays on March 1st. I adopted him on May 31st, and he was about twelve weeks old.....
  23. 'Man vs Machine' has been the main thesis for a lot of tall tales and fables...........
  24. More progress! Got the fender unit painted and a decent start on the wheel/tire combo...... I decided on green for the wheels, figuring that is a period-correct color for this. The green is another 'short cuts' Krylon color..... The fenders are Rustoleum flat black primer with two coats of their high gloss black......
  25. Turbojets, turboprop, and turbofan are three types of aircraft engines...........
