  1. Why is everything ‘streamed’ these days??? What if some of us don’t stream???? I really hate good shows in a format that needs to be purchased after I pay huge money for what I already have. This looks to be a great movie but I guess you guys will have to tell me all about it in January.
  2. Don’t forget some ‘trannies’ ( will I be in trouble for using that word?) 🤭have a 1 to 4 shift pattern computer generated if under a certain speed and rpm. My Corvette does that, so I just make sure my speed is up a bit and same with rpms and the computer “lets” me do it the way I want. And for the record , personally , I really don’t need a computer to help me shift they just ‘think’ tjey need to help. 🙄😆
  3. Wow, Ron this build is spectacular ! You are hitting every detail perfectly. Outstanding!! Take a bow ! I LOVE the Rops you are nailing that ! Very well done. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

  8. I always wanted the fuse tip from a WWI shell, but I don't think it will conform to our 'rules'..... 😢

  11. Any progress on this project , Peter? Looking forward to your next update.
  12. Be careful you guys................ if you complain too loudly about inhaling Canadian smoke, and if our Government sees this, they may TAX you guys on importing our exported smoke !😋🤣🤣🤣
  13. I knew you were a stickler for details. Sounds like that is just about as perfect as you can find. I forgot about Gravity paints I was thinking of Scale Finishes. So your roadster will be dead on. When I built mine I found I had to re work the front windshield frame a bit for a better fit. But I’m sure you will see what it needs and it will be a show stopper when done.
  14. Hi Peter.... when it comes time for your Corvette, I'm not sure how accurate you want to go with it, and if it is going to be like your other builds, I am assuming that you would be as accurate as possible...... the body paint color caught my eye, IF you are striving for complete accuracy Sunflower yellow , is not the yellow to use for 1967. Actually at that time, I believe that yellow was a Pontiac color, and wasn't used on Corvettes until 1971 color code 912, and there were 1977 Corvettes sold in that color in '71. The actual color you may be looking for is "Sunfire Yellow" code 984. 2325 units were sold in '67 in Sunfire Yellow. Also Sunfire Yellow was only available in 1966 and 1967, 1968 was Safari Yellow code 984, 1969 & 1970 was Daytona Yellow code 984 ( same as Safari Yellow ) , 1971 was Sunflower Yellow code 912 Sunfire yellow, ( to me ) is a rather light washed out yellow and not a bright yellow. Interior colors available with Sunfire yellow were , black, white and teal blue, AND the stinger was the same color as the interior ( the Stinger, is the hood decal that goes on the scoop) so black interior , black stinger, white interior white stinger.. etc.... I am ABSOLUTELY NOT telling you what to do or how to paint the up coming Corvette kit, but I thought as you are a gent who strives for accuracy, and I am a Corvette guy, I thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth.... ignore this info if I have over stepped.... I have lots of info on Corvettes and am a Corvette owner for over 30 years and have judged Concours Corvettes at special Corvette shows for the 'Quad C' here in Canada. Jeff
  15. I echo everyone else here, my sincere condolences, to you, BUT ..... how are YOU doing?? A vicious shock, I hope you are managing to cope as well as possible.... remember , we are here for you, should you need to vent or just ramble on.... take care of yourself too..... very sorry to hear of your loss....
  16. I hear ya, I'm a senior too, with a heart condition and asthma.............
  17. ............... for the past couple summers here where I live we have had smoke so thick we could not see the other side of the yard, and it was bad, but no one made any kind of big deal about it, and it lasted for weeks.... I guess some of us are made of stronger material.... huh
  18. Carl, NO more new starts until the Scammel is finished….. I’m gonna tell your mom on you !🤣🤭
  19. That is really interesting reading. Normally I look at a site , scan over it and that is about it, but this read was exceptional. I read the whole thing. I have always wondered who cleaned up the mess. Thanks for sharing
  20. This arrived yesterday. Excellent publication
