Packed mine up today. Headed your way this coming week, Harry. Be careful, I glued every detail I could think of on these boats!

I just wish I could have run them first. My track is still down while I am getting a house ready to sell. Its killing me. I scarcely can believe that I did this for a living during summers in college.

I am going to have to back out of this one too. Work has just been crazy over the past three weeks. I have started the bodywork on the convertible but not enough time to finish by Wednesday which is when I would have to ship because will be gone after that.

I guess mine can stay at Harry's and miss California. With all those details, they probably shouldn't be run hard anyway. They were mailed several days before the change of plan. In fact, they should arrive at Harry's today.

I might be cutting it close to get mine ready for a June 19th date in So Cal.
My wife's 1:1 car ate up most of last weekend with front suspension work. It's quiet now but that was not a fun job.

Laid base coat down on my boat, and darn if it didn't orange peel like crazy. So I cleaned her up with 2000 grit sandpaper and sprayed again. More Orange peel!
I may have to soak it and take it back to primer. I usually don't have problems with rattle cans, but this Testor's light Blue has me hoodwinked.
I was doing Buck Baker's car with some decals I found on eBay, hence the light blue scheme. :oops: :angry-tappingfoot:
Well I guess I'll try some this weekend, but if she's not done by Wednesday I may pull it from the fun run.

Robs cars in today. Broomhilda at my local PO was very excited to see a package from "that far away".

They can make it to Cali with no problems.

I thought the Nuts box would get her attention, but it is far after all. I was planning a trip years ago to bring Jenny and her father and Kurt, and the straight-thru driving time is 17 hours, including picking up Kurt. Without carrying anyone with me, I could start at midnight and arrive in the middle of the afternoon. Woof. I'm too old for that crap.

Harry, I'll Paypal you $12 for sending it on. But if they charge more, you'll have to tell me. I can do it as a donation, see?

Dave, look out for all that detail stuff. And don't feel bad if stuff breaks anyway. 'Dem's da breaks!

Gorgeous foil work. I am in awe of you guys who do that so well. I waste so much foil when I try.

You will have time Todd. Our Shotgun Dave is finishing his as well.
