I’ve already got a short list of colors ready to be ordered for a few of my future auto builds.

I am eager to give them a squirt.

I remain ever more certain that a time-warp, a portal to darkness, a hole into the netherworld lives on my bench. Yesterday, just before I spilled coffee on the keyboard and mouse killing the mouse plumb dead (using a new set...can you tell?) I clipped the shifter from the chrome tree and included a bit of the sprue. ***POOF** it simply vaporized and disappeared and is yet to be found. Floor swept, desk searched. Chickens killed and all that.

Yeah, I have some pins I can use, but it ain't the same. I loved that shifter. We had so many good times together.

I'm of a mood to build the Airfix P-51D for fun.

That luck of yours Lyle... :headslap: The missing part will turn up when you’re looking for something else... :sad:

Probably so. I swear they laugh and make parts reappear at random times....after you are finished...

got the interior placed today. Still no heater or radio decals. Tom sent the wrong ones. So, we wait another week. Oh well. MCW discovered that for some reason the paint for this one was sent to Maryland. Who knows why. Re-shipped last Friday.

The dash is dry fitted at this point. I'm hoping the decals I want will get here sooner than later.

Thank you, Stuart. I may just go and move on without them.
