I can taste the rainbow. I want Kim's car.
Your '56 needed a friend. My wife and I buzzed around in a green '52 2dr. I killed a couple of the straight 6 engines I put in it driving the poor...
Coo man. Over.
Happy for you. After having starved for so long, dessert must taste really REALLY REALLY good.

Got a good start on building a workshop in the small pole barn out back. The concrete floor is a week from being fully cured. Kept it wet for 7...
Sorry to hear. Some people have a way of keeping this stuff from being the fun it's supposed to be. Good luck. I hope it works out for you.
:) Some nice cars!
Yes. They work. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/used-my-plasma-cutter-for-the-first-time.1350906/
I remember Bill Burnham's columns in Street Rodder Magazine well. His light blue Roadster is one of the best. He was opinionated. In a good way. A...
Cerakote Glacier series is extremely durable. No gloss though, only satin.
Bubble skirts are more "customy". Depends on what you're shooting for.
Somebody pulled that article right out of their ass. Bullshit assumptions presented as facts. And I'm pretty sure it's not their image.
@rusty1 I like your DeSoto coupe. I have a Plymouth. It's at the top of my list, but I guess you could say it's in the wings if that means not...
Cool stuff. I'm not sure why, but I often enjoy seeing the unfinished cars... the projects in the wings or the ones being worked on... more than...
Sprinkler is on the timer now. 5 minutes every hour. Works great. I might get a full night's sleep tonight.
Thanks, Danny. I don't think they'll be able to get in anywhere. Even a mouse would be hard pressed to find a way in. The cement was poured right...
Sometimes ya gotta knock me in the head a couple times. Thanks, Mike.
They cure stressed concrete beams and statues and other things under water. I read that a subdivision was being constructed. All the basements...
Apparently, a very small percentage of concrete floors get properly cured. But it can increase the strength by as much as 50%. So I think it's...
Good idea, Mike. Thanks. I was considering that. The whole floor, especially the area near the big door was wanting to dry up too quickly cuz of...
That's for sure, @HOTRODPRIMER Lots to do. All the day-to-day work around here can keep me busy morning to night if I let it. Not easy to find...
No kiddin'. Well then, I'll have it even better than Pete did. I just felt him looking down on us, arms folded, with that half smile half frown...
That's right, @firstinsteele There are fellas who've built awesome hot rods in the most austere working conditions. In comparison, I'm gonna be in...
Thanks Gene. I thought that might happen with the asphalt. Okay, that's off the table then. But I just can't expect Judy to spend all that money...
If you don't get the moisture out of your compressed air, it'll ruin the paint job. The gun will periodically spit very finely atomized water onto...
Gotta keep it wet for a few days to slow down the curing which makes it stronger. But it starts drying up quicker than you might imagine. Even...
Thanks @nrgwizard Marcus! When you say ramp, do you mean an apron out front? Initially, Judy and I thought we might do that. But we're talking a...
Thanks guys. Yeah, LED lighting is great. All this did happen rather quickly, didn't it. No I didn't put my name in it LOL. Judy asked me the same...
