Ok, so my dad gave me the bug. I am passing it on to my 'baby's' grandson.

No, not a cold, THAT he gave to ME.

MODELS!

And, guess what. It CALMS him! HOLY COW, who would have guessed? Even his meds for ADD don't accomplish what a pile of die cast plastic pieces can!

Holy cow (again) he is looking forward to working on the real thing!

It brings to mind a discussion I had with my dad once.

I said to him that he had inflicted me with the modeling "disease" and it took me twenty years to kick the bug.

He replied, "The Hell you did, you went one-to-one"

I've found that I can ignore them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!However, I do enjoy the pics of the work some of these guys have done----check out Old Coyote's work---he's got some on here somewhere

Here he is.

Maybe he doesn't have a good working comprehension of what an intake manifold IS, but he now knows where to put it!

Oh BTW:

Bonus points to anyone whom can identity the two ford powerplants in his hands. I'm not a ford guy, and the literature doesn't say

the one on the left looks like a flat head .. it has three exhaust ports and the " aluminum " heads ... the right one seems to be a 390 ...

I agree with Hoss----
