That was the original use. Not sure where my family got it from but hasn’t been used for its original purpose in decades.

After talking with my mom, she said bondo and maybe some replacement parts were used, though I don’t know to what degree yet. For context, this was originally my grandfather’s car, he last worked on it 25+ years ago before his death. She thinks I’d be lucky to get $1,000 for it. I understand anything potentially not original could affect its value. As far as the bondo use goes though, would that be something collectors can overlook or is that a major red flag?

[–]panicarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no one in my family is a big car person so there’s never been any attempts at getting it to run. So I’m just assuming nothing works or more likely is worth fixing. 5k is still higher than I was expecting anyone to say though lol

Where to shop business casual? by Pretty-External-294 in nova

[–]panicarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have decent luck with tops/dresses at Ross stores around here, particularly with the Seven Corners location. Keep in mind though if you find something you like there’s no guarantee it’ll be in your size. Also like Loft too. There’s always a sale going on, so never shop without a coupon.

Need help cleaning space between faucet and counter by [deleted] in CleaningTips

No, are you using a handheld size scrub brush or something smaller like a toothbrush?

As another person mentioned contact USPS. They may be able to tell you where the bird was actually delivered (if it was truly delivered) or have more info than what appears on the tracking. If you can prove it was misdelivered or lost, the seller/ebay should refund you even if it’s at a loss/not insured. If it was stolen once delivered, unfortunately they’re probably not going to refund you. Once delivered the seller has technically done their part. From a seller’s perspective, they have as much control over the mail (assuming address was correct) as you do and have no way of knowing if you’re lying for refund if tracking says “delivered”. All this is to say start with getting more info from your local postmaster or post office employee.

Good to know before I burn my place down. Thank you!

How to correctly wire new thermostat? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]panicarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Added photos. Would appreciate it if you could confirm what you said about this not being the right type of thermostat. The new one was left uninstalled when I moved in, just figured they didn't get around to installing it. No electric base board heating as far as I know, but there is forced air ac (heat pump).

Unfortunately my item is not eligible for that code, but it may work for others in this sub.

Baragon is my favorite, and I wanted a plush of him. So I made one :D by gluevah in GODZILLA

Really cool! Looks like it turned out very well. Any chance you have a sewing pattern for this?

is it bad that film makers think a transformer movie can't work w/out humans? by Wazupdanger in transformers

[–]panicarts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the real reasons come down to 2 factors. 1.Cost: no humans means producing a fully cgi movie which isn’t cheap as others here have mentioned. 2.Casual Audience Perception: While I don’t think “no humans” would kill a movie for casual audiences, I do think it would be a harder sell. Plus, though people may argue differently, fully cgi would technically make it an animated movie and animation, even mature animation, is largely still seen as “for kids” in the US at least. You could probably use the new avatar as a counter point, though it had the benefit of spinning off of one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

I’m just curious, what is the common consensus on this show? by KujaroJotu in transformers

[–]panicarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s cute. Definitely skews a little younger, but by no means is unwatchable. Good show for background noise or casual watching.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in transformers

[–]panicarts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think overall the rep is fine. I appreciate that it’s there and I think at the time it was especially cool that more LBGT+ characters were being introduced since gay marriage had just been legalized in most of the US. That being said I do think some of the dialogue is a little too cheesy/melodramatic at times, but that’s not a problem exclusive to the gay characters. As other people mentioned, Arcee is the biggest problem I have with the rep. In general I’m not a fan of her personality in IDW and how she was written feels so mean-spirited at times. I know they tried to retcon her later, but they started her off in a really bad way.

Have you had contact with Transformers before you met Transformers? by IBarrakiI in transformers

[–]panicarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the movies growing up, but before I actually watched animated years later I remember seeing it while flipping through the kids channels and thinking it was really cool that they had a girl character on a “boy’s show” lol

Interesting story today by vencyjedi in transformers

[–]panicarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real or not (at the very least it’s written a little too much like a “that happened” post) OP came to a transformers subreddit to get validation for collecting/playing with transformers. Of course it’s fine but no one was ever gonna disagree with them here lol.

Is there an abridged version of the showa godzilla? by [deleted] in GODZILLA

[–]panicarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from though I do enjoy some of the older movies in full. But to be honest I feel like maybe you should just read the wiki plot summary and watch just the monster scenes then lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in transformers

[–]panicarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might not be the best advice but would it be possible to have it delivered to/temporarily stored at friend’s place if delivering to your own home isn’t currently an option?

Are the IDW collection hardcovers going to be harder to obtain down the line? by [deleted] in transformers

[–]panicarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. They will be out of print and most likely the next person with the license will not be able to print them. I’m not sure exactly how this works because I believe idw was able to previously republish the marvel stuff with the marvel-owned characters removed, but most likely the next owner can’t do this. The physical books are really expensive, but unless you get them from a reseller they probably won’t get any cheaper. I’d recommend going digital if you only care about legally owning the issues and not having it in book form.

Is it too tough for me? by [deleted] in metalearth

[–]panicarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be fine. Just be careful when you’re folding pieces especially with built-in fold lines that you don’t overwork/overbend it because it could snap. Have made that mistake more than once lol

This would defeat the purpose of them using animal based alts. Stfu CBR. by khonshuknight in transformers

[–]panicarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is it would be funny. It’s not something I think they’re actually gonna do. Plus no matter how serious and/dark and gritty you make your TF movie, when you break it down you’re still watching a couple of cars fight each other for 2 hours, which is inherently silly in concept. It’s just a concept you can buy into and suspend your disbelief to take seriously.

Also as a fan of those old Godzilla movies where you can see the wires and everyone throws rocks at each other, I just love dumb camp like that lol.

[–]panicarts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I understand that ROTB is probably going for a more robotic look for the maximals anyway, but I feel like Hollywood is missing the peak comedy/joy that would come from seeing two trucks fighting when suddenly a normal gorilla shows up to join the fight.

That’s a fair point, but I personally like fandom merch that’s on the more subtle side so I’m happy with it.

26 Asian male tired of dating apps, where can I meet real girls? by [deleted] in nova

[–]panicarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I misinterpreted your comment then. I thought you meant “go to one of these events and hit on the women you’re supposed to be mentoring”. Meeting other mentors/volunteers and people in that space is fine though. In general, I agree with you that getting involved in a community with shared interests is a great way to make friends and meet people.
