Almost Show Time

Greetings, Crankyheads.  Doctor Cranky (sans EYEGORE) will be attending the TABLE TOP NATIONALS in South Florida and the ACME SHOW in Atlanta in November.

So, if you are planning to attend these shows, please feel free to swing by and say hello to the Doctor.  There will be t-shirts, books, and decals for sale, and a couple of the Lab-RAT-ory's most recent creations.

And, no, Doctor Cranky will not look like this:

STYRENE ALL STARS

Here's Doctor Cranky's Lab-RAT-ory TOP TEN LIST OF CAR KITS.  This is a very personal list based on the kits that I have built time and again and enjoyed.  Also, note that this is a list of American Cars and kit manufacturers only.  This also in no way is meant to put down any kit manufacturers (current or defunct).  My choices are based on kit quality, ease of build, the looks of the finish product, etc.
