Rat Fink was ahead of his time…

I think he’s had an extra large coffee with a quad shot of expresso!

Happy New Year Everyone!

As a youth, I had the model rat fink on my tv with other models. The tv my dad risked life and limb for at Washington’s Birthday sale. $5. Worked great.

Around here it is house of kolar and Jon kosmosky. I still dont know for sure but think I knew his sister Stephany. She was visiting her cousin and I fell in love but it didn’t work out. We visited her house in Minneapolis about 1956 and she showed me her brothers room. It was full of the most beautiful paint jobs on his model cars that I had ever seen. Candy finishes etc. all sprayed, not brushed like mine. Impressive. My grandmother knew her mother or someone so we went visiting. I’m sure she would be a 70 year old fat Italian now but she was the cats meow at ten. If I ever run across Jon at a car show I plan to ask him. Hard to date on a bike 50 miles away.

Yeah happy new year. Starting to snow again. Last year I had ten hours
Total on the snow blower. I’m beyond that already. So it’ll be pizza at home trying to make it to midnight.

Yes, Dennis Roth’s (a character in himself lol) paints have been featured and used on TV’s Full Custom Garage with Ian Roussel…

Happy New Year to everyone!!!

There was another line of plastic models in the 60s, Weird-Ohs, I don’t remember if I built any, I know my brother did. At the time he had an older Harley with the three speed suicide clutch.

The P-Hawk is near the top of my “When I win the Powerball” list. Much lower down is restomod of a Hawk Coupe or 51-52 Starlight Coupe.

Riddle of the day:

Why does a chicken coup have two doors?

If it had four doors it would be a sedan.

Must have been about 1969 and it was 20 below on New Year’s Eve. My bride to be and my best man’s bride to be went to a show. Afterwards I drove a block and a half and that ole 59 Pontiac was already pushing heat out. Never had one like that since.
