I might be back. Spent 3 hours proving I am Todd A. Young with Facebook. Be careful who your friends are & what you post. Somebody or Me? Went against community standards. Messed up my credit and my online accounts, to name a few. Not much building is happening.
I have been sick from old age lol, Leukemia or 3 rotting teeth. I might do some painting. Nope. The basement was almost freezing, 32 F. Wait till it gets warmer. I get asked questions about my posts & comments, and can't respond.
I bought a couple of Round 2 AMT 1960 Chevrolet Station Wagons. Interesting craftsman model kit. I raided my old 1959 AMT Chevy El Camino for a 348-ci engine & chrome for a future build. Maybe a 1960 elCamino? The pictures are a resin model I built years ago of my family's cars. The Olds is an El Camino Monogram kit. Any news from my followers on upcoming events? Send them to me.
If you are near Cleveland, Ohio? The LAST POWER PISTONS SHOW at IX Center is on the last weekend of March 28 & 29. Many vehicles have pistons on display. Last shows over the years. The flea market of anything old with wheels, toys, or antiques. Worth the trip. If you need more information? I can help ot go to IX center website.

I was out about Toledo yesterday. If you are near a Ollie's store. They have lots of model kits. Mostly cars customs & trucks. Did not see any of the AMT American LaFrance. The bathroom Latrines etc. seemed to be closed in most of the stores I visited. Weird? Walmart Meijer & other big stores have no models. Since Toledo Ohio is a wasteland. No hobby shops or other craft stores that carry models & hobby supplies. Hobby Lobby & Michael's have some models. I saw on You tube the the tease is still happening with new model kits/ Well not new, reissues of old kits. I ordered the 1960 Chevrolet wagon 2 months ago. Got a email that reads that I have to have a Smart phone to order & track purchases from some company not in USA. Has my information been sold to Chinese hackers identity theft? Be very careful purchasing on line if the information listed at top of email does not come back to your intended cyber store? Don't open it.
I don't know what has happened to my Windows operating system. I can NOT post pictures of any thing. Even if I search with a complete correct name of the image. Since the MICROSOFT stated they are not supporting or making updates to Windows 10. I have got multiple required updates. Weird if they are not supporting Windows 10 anymore. Why send required updates? OR? I am hacked & lost all my operating systems? So, No new pictures of anything.

Some body was looking for the height of the tail & running boards on a Sutphen Corporation engine. It has the height. simple subtraction of hose bed height from total street height. 22.5 inches. I would say that is about average for all Fire Apparatus.
No I am not building anything. I can't see or hold parts. Have 7 Pumper or engine models in various stages of completion. Besides the fact that being a model builder is NO More. If you have a 3-D printer. Load the program & down load the completed model? VERY SAD. Making resin or lead parts was a extension of the hobby. Can't compete with rock scientists.

FYI! To all the retired Fire Fighters. I got a much appreciated deposit into my Credit Union account. The Social Security gave all fire & Police first responders a increase or back pay? Check your bank account to see if you received a deposit in last 30 days or less. Mine showed up a couple days ago. Mike
