    Thank You Jeff, well it was approximately minus 24 C :), it is my fault I accept full responsibility for the accident. There was a reason why everybody else was using the right ( cleaner) turning lane. Once again, no animals were harmed during this stunt and broken metal and plastic can be replaced

    My minivan is awesome Just to clarify the ABS works , but it doesn't do much on ice, once you loose traction that's it. I have decent winter tires, yet no studs or chains . This was a very low speed accident it was almost comical as I was sliding towards the car front of me helplessly trying to warn him, by honking etc. I was considering going out and pushing it backwards

    I really like it Ernie, I don't have much experience with KH models , but this is quite an eye opener. We shall see how my little Yuck-130's gonna look like once I am done with it. Great show ! M.

    Ernie, that 75D is calling my name :), no wait that's my daughter , she needs elastic. So there is my other hobby, my family. I have to admit that I use to have different priorities, not anymore. Also if you need helping hand with the suspension and brake system on your T-bird I will gladly take a Texas-vacation in exchange for hunting piggies I gutted my fox-body brakes and swapped it for a later model ones, pretty much same story as you have planned. Scott your abilities and skill is second to none. Truly love your wood, cars are decent too....Just kidding,,, I love them But every man needs his toys so I am still playing with wood, slowly re-buying my tool stash after I left bunch of my woodworking equipment in BC, in hope to picking it up sometime later. My wife's new jewellery bench, made of salvaged lumber from our garage frame. Still needs second coat of satin clear and touch ups here and there. Recently I became obsessing about gym as well. In past four years I have become slow, fat , grey-haired and nasty piece of an opinionated old fart, turning into my worst nightmare. It's not that gym is going to help to eliminate my newly possessed traits , but at least I get a nice wrist brace every time i go in LOL

    Also I trashed our minivan on Friday morning. Minus million turned the roads into invisible ice sheet. Approaching a turning lane, slowing down, slowing down, tap the pedal ...nothing,,,ABS hates me..... taping brake,,, nothing,,, this is ridiculous ,,,,,10 feet left to the car ahead of me, tapping the brake...nothing , honk the horn.....oh f-this...bumm. You wouldn't believe how brittle plastic gets in deep sub-zero temperatures

    City of Calgary is withholding the right to lower the curb on public property and yes I requested the quote and they came and mark pretty little arrows , but their crews were backlogged till last September so I gave up. Here is an update, truck is painted and baked, car "should" be ready to go on Monday

    Since this game first time came up on PC, it has been some 20+ years ago. I still love it. Try to solve a series of mechanical puzzles guys and tell me what you think. Cheers M. http://www.abc.net.au/abc3/games/game.html?id=3121641%23/play

    Brilliant idea to alter the boy's head position. And the oil canning is an absolute must with a beast of this size. Exceptional work Jeroen. Cheers Martin

    Ha ha Jeff, thank You , I need some uplifting imputes at the moment. Soooooo, I just came back home from the shop and without the car ! The tech. was making last dent repairs and cracked the paint on the trunk lid. That is going to be repainted tomorrow . At this point I am just smiling and trying to keep my cool.:) , other that that car looks awesome, crystal black is deep and shiny . SCOTT, welcome to the LSM and thank you for stopping by and commenting in this odd topic. Yeah those decals are there just to be silly. I was thinking about the side placement , but it wouldn't matter since there is a pinch weld that covers it and the car is way too low for the average Joe-Shmoe to bend down and look What springs did you used , ultralights ? I am sitting on CJPP coils and naturally during the last season I had to develop a new technique how to approach the curb in my driveway.

    Thank You Guys. There has been a very cold weather in Alberta recently, so the car will be going home on the top of a flat deck truck. No driving until ....let us say May?

    Brilliant !

    That would work great with V-1

    Talking about overkill. These rails will get abused by jack stands and lifts, so why not to make it obviously clear what they are for ?.... Also , tomorrow is a big day. I am going to pick up the car, finally, hopefully , maybe it will al work out without surprises .
