george 53 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 UUUHHHHH, Thor, can't post a comment on pics that aren't there.Though I'm sure they're very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Would love to see actual photos, nothing is showing up. I have the same resin. It's fairly incorrect in some details; whoever mastered it made it a "Park Lane" whereas that model never existed from Mercury. I also plan to make it into a (within reason) correct Colony Park. Looking forward to seeing your progress, and photos of your real car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Zoom Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sorry, your photos and website are not working on this end. They weren't working last night, and when I do a check to see if that website works through another site that says if it works, it shows a 500 error. When I checked "isitup": HTTP status: 500 - Error Checking root domain... No luck. Server or web host is not up. Here's the site that I visit to see if a webpage is working or not: Is It Up?
