What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[Nick Winter]

I hit them with a heat gun till they were dry to the touch then let them hang in the shed outside on one of the 30+ degree days we had.

That'll do it my friend, that'll do it.

Got my 80 series flow master installed tonight.

I got an ear ache!

A earache my eye! How would you like a... sorry couldn't resist.

[cobraman]

Well, yesterday I got the new issue of Model Cars. Best cover I have seen in awhile. IMO

[imarriedawitch]

Barter system. Got these in exchange for some graphic design work.

Scott, nice haul!

Scott, nice haul!

My tastes run more along the muscle car or drag racing cars with a little Nascar thrown in for variety. The subject matter of some of these is kind of foreign to me but they look bad-ass so they should be fun.

[thatz4u]

these 2....

[Guest Johnny]

Got both for the price some places are asking for one!

Quote of the day!

Congratulations, Scott! That's funny, right there.

{Good haul, too.}

Did you get them through mail order, Johnny? I'd like to get another Falcon kit or 2 (not the Ranchero).

The big question is why this guy is doing engine work with a tie on? And she's giving him that, "No I'm not helping you lift that hood" look.

I guess even shadetree mechanics were more formal in dress in olden days..

I always thought that she was to one doing the work since her sleeves are rolled up.

I got filthy, sweaty and stinking of animal waste, later got covered in mud and spider webs. It's truly rewarding to have multiple skills.

Just started a rehab on a rental house where the tenants had left several species of critter locked in the newly-carpeted living room for about a week, getting even with the landlord for evicting them after 3 months of no-pay. Unbelievable.

And then their buds came by and stripped all the copper wiring and plumbing from the under-the-house. Nice folks indeed.

Got them on sale at squadron.com for 23.99 each but they are now at 49.99 each!

Saw some earlier today on line for 32.99 but don't remember where.

He must like to live dangerously! He looks more like a sidewalk supervisor to me though. She looks more like a mechanic than he does!

Me, too.

He looks a little . . . well, effeminate . . . to be a grease monkey. She, on the other hand, looks like every car-guy's dream!

Probably preaching to the choir, but those are crimes, you know. I'm sure the proper police reports have been made.

In AZ, stripping precious metals from a house is a felony.

A Fairlane, a couple Starliners, and some wheels and tires.

Install PEX plastic pipe this time. No value to scrappers and much easier to install. That's what I used on my last renovation.

I also have owned income property and had the same tenant for 25 years in one house. After she fell ill and her son moved her out I decided to gut the house and do a complete renovation. Now I have the worst tenants in the world... my daughters!

And they don't have to pay the rent if they don't want to ... just ask them!

I stopped at Meijers for some steaks for dinner tomorrow and picked up another Sox and Martin car. I also took my kids to a lhs and picked up the Ford Expedition police package, and the 57 Ford Nascar.

They pay a waaay below market rent and complain about it and how broke they are. But they seem to have plenty of money to buy dresses for their silly little dog. And they both have near new cars, much better than mine!
