You are far too kind...or really tired! Thanks. I hope to get down to the bench tomorrow and get something done. We have little Ella in the hospital for some work on her shunt, so we have brother Asher and their doggie. Daughter-in-law had surgery today, so we have their three kiddos. For those keeping score that Is one extra dog and four extra kids plus all the extra running. I’m too old for this.

I am tired this is true but I really dig the second version of the dash. I would be tempted to leave it alone. My problem and see if this is relatable is to keep going long after it is necessary to do so. When I saw the dash I mentally snapped my fingers and thought, “Moving on! Next step!” You got this one, Lyle. Don’t chase after an AM radio. Just let your work cure and move on. My tired two cents.

I agree with Bruce. Move on and get Herbie done.

That is a lot of kids and an extra dog! I'd love to see pics as I miss having a house full of kids. It's one of the reasons that I go to see my brother in Ohio all the time with his eight kids. Still, this is a modeling Forums, so show us more progress on Herbie!

We’ll get there...I guess. Not much bench time these days.

Lovely, isn't it? And so well preserved. Also note the Police bike in the front. Carlos, your call! :lashed:
