To this, as I wanted to replicate DM's Yenko since it got out of my price range on the secondary market. The engine swap came from a scrap FM Chevelle.

This is the second Gold M2 that I took apart and changed the interior color. They make a nice set.

I do know 1 thing ... this is my last year to buy diecast / fiberglass cars

End of summer to be more precise

So I have is what I have ... and I will enjoy each and every one

Nice precision work doing those mods, Gene. This really is a fun part of our of our collecting. M2 and some others are holding the
24th scale line. We are still hopeful of a break through from other makers.
Bring forth your wares of diecast and resin!

Its getting closer: While putting out the wheelie bin for the next day's gar-barge collection,

I spotted the Grim Reaper, or his mate standing next to the mail box: "p... off", I yelled, "you evil angel of death". And as he looked at me in a dumb founded way shuffeling off, I hollered after him, "I'll tell you when I'm ready to go, so split before I turn the garden hose on and spray you all to hell - if you dont mind me saying so". It pays to be polite when dealing with grim reapers.
With that the Grim Reaper gathered speed and quickly made off.

Gosh, I hope the Grim Reaper wasn't just Mrs Brady from down the street a bit returning home from the monthly Halloween bash back in towm?
Oh well, I'm allready toast so, what the heck.

WOW ... That's alot of projects !!

But I suppose ... that's the way to do it ?

Work on 1 for a lil bit

Move to the next for a lil bit

Keep moving to each lil project to keep the mind fresh

Besides .... I'm thinking ... you work on a lil project - then you have to wait for something to cure, dry, parts to come ....

So you move on to the next one

I do know in real 1 : 1 paint & body shops ... that's they work ... that's why they have so many cars on the lot ...

AND

There are some People that just should not be allowed to drive :O :)) =;

WHEW ... All I see are bobcats in the wee early hours of the morning

When I put my wheelie out to the curb early in the morning on pick up day ...

All I see are lil bobcats and racoons ๐Ÿ˜ก running around digging for their next meal :O

SO I go over to my neighbors house and tip over their cans so the lil critters can have breakfast :O:)):)):D=;

Then I speed off to work

At 3:30AM ... nobody sees a thing ...

Except

Me & the furries ๐Ÿ˜‰

Well done, Dennis. You live in a critter provided entertainment zone.

and that sounds like a lot of fun - well the way you put it does anyway. Thanks for the humor:)
