Re: Sweathogs model kit 1976
I'm still
 !!! The local oldies station has a set of late-70s stuff on right now and the song playing at this very moment is "Stayin' Alive." Let's see, that's 1977 and I wuz in 10th and 11th grades. I can see Travolta walking down the street with a paint can in swingin' in one hand, Angel Flight pants and a leather jacket. He was bad-ass all right.

Re: Sweathogs model kit 1976
Boy those were the days...
I'd lovingly put that model together... Then fill it up with fire crackers and douse it with gas for that extra little something

FIRE!). I almost ruined our backyard picnic table, made of redwood, burning "crashed" model airplanes with my buddies one summer night after dark. My mother was PISSED. "My TABLE!" Dad and I took apart and flipped the table top's boards and fixed it but that was the end of my junior-pyro days. Man, we had fun as kids.

Re: Sweathogs model kit 1976
In 67 I was still in High School. I had a 45 Harley and the clutch plate was oil soaked so I put in moms oven and went outside for two hours. MAN talk about smoking up a house and STINK. Wow wasn't nice around that house for awhile.
Now that's DUMB

For a year or so my bedroom was a garage converted into a bedroom. It had a gas log fireplace for heating. My friend and I built a ramp and would put a dab of glue on a model car and light it, then turn on the gas in the fireplace and roll the model down the ramp and ......... Boom!! Timing was critical, I think we got lucky we didn't blow up the whole house!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Come on guys, some of you have to have pic's from way back when to share... My guess is Jeff had hair down to the middle of his back and wore tie died cloths and Charlie had the orig mullet!!

Re: Sweathogs model kit 1976
Yes i had the same problem with burnt plastic landing on your skin, still have the scar!!
Did the stupid stuff too, bought an old yamaha motorcycle at an auction and it had a dent in the tank. I had heard that if you fill it with water and freeze it it would pop the dent. Cleaned it out good filled it with water wrapped it in plastic and put it in the freezer, good plan!!. Well my mom had to throw all the food out in the freezer becouse it all tasted like gas. And no the dent did'nt pop out.
