    I can't tell what you numbered that but if it says 56 I may have to hurt you... And also ask for tips on how I can do that to a Rivarossi obs to do the car owned by Mr Hoback at the INRD shops...

    Candy, I thought your image was an actual photo as I scanned past it to look at Russell's photo again. Your attention to detail is phenomenal, you either have worked in a repair shop, or own one. I guess "own", because only the owner could make the mechanics keep a shop so clean.

    Testosterone? ... Testosterone? ... You don't need any stinking Testosterone to make wonderful scenes like this one!
    With your talent, I'd still like to see you tackle a logging-sawmill project. :cool:

    When a mini skirted red head walks up to a garage owner and asked if she can take pictures of the inside, what do you think he said? Well there are no logging sawmills in my town:funny: I wouldn't have a clue

    Yes. Too true. Need a few empty beer cans and cigarette butts littering the floor, evidence of chew'n t'bakky, candy wrappers, oil and grease, parts boxes and old parts, grease rags, metal shavings and slag.... That's just a part of what I recall from fifty years ago.
