Country Girl Funny Car

Ha! Almost forgot to tell you this "funny" (read annoying!) story...

When I had painted the chassis, I also painted the roll cage. When they dried, I brought them over to the work bench. Now, I recall specifically thinking to myself..."I don't need the roll cage yet, so I'll just set it aside 'over here' "...

You know where this is going right?

A couple days later, I went to get the roll cage, and I couldn't remember where "over here" was.... :doh:

For over a week, I couldn't find it. Talk about being a little frustrated with oneself. Fortunately, I was able to continue the build, and my thinking was I'll come across it along the way (at least I hoped so).

Couple days ago, I had put some white paint on the body, so while waiting for it to dry, I worked on another car. I was working on a wheel assembly, and dropped the insert. Well, you know how round things go when you drop them, and how they stay right were it dropped, right? WRONG!!! I swear these things have a mind of their own when they hit the floor, and will roll incredible distances. Even further than if you threw them!!! :o
So yeah, that meant me crawling around on the floor looking for a stupid wheel insert. And wouldn't you know it, I found the roll cage on the floor BEHIND the chair. Now I KNOW this wasn't where "over here" was, but I will tell you I was quite happy at this point :D I was even happy I dropped the damn wheel insert :D Oh, that insert, you won't believe it, but about 20 minutes later, I found it....in a box of parts!!! Yeah, it never made it to the floor, but landed in a box under the work bench.... :lol:

You may have noticed in the post above, that the roll cage is now glued to the chassis... :?

So it's true, all is well when it ends well (or something like that :lol: )

Nice modeling there, Dickie! Great job on the details; both chassis and body. How does it run?
