MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Inconsiderate neighbors: Last night my neighbor decided he needed to fire his guns for two hours. In Ohio your allowed to discharge firearms in townships. greg
  2. Upon further inspection I found that the rear suspension was not in the right place. Corrected by inserting suspension in right holes. I did find that the holes for all the pinned parts were a little undersized and needed to be reamed out a little. greg
  3. Greg....are you the head honcho of the old GLMFAA that used to do those terrific fire apparatus displays at the earlier NNL Nats at Toledo (and I'm guessing you are given your forum name). If so, great to hear that you are still involved and following the hobby! Cheers....TIM Yep it is I, Still in it and retired and have less time for the hobby☹️. For those that might be interested it was Great Lakes Miniature Fire Apparatus Association. Consisted of fire modelers surrounding the Great Lakes including Canada. Competed with FAMBA (Fire Apparatus Model Builders Association) out of East coast corridor. Life got in the way and the club withered away, it was great well it existed. greg
  4. Box stock Charger in Tamiya metallic blue, Nice kit, was going to make it into cop car using old Lindberg hood but changed my mind with the new release coming out. Don't know why track is off on drivers side. Glad to hear that the windshield on the new kit is pre-painted. A little change of pace for me being not red and modified from kit. greg
  5. If you just surf the interweb for Dodge state patrol cars you will see a variety of the wheels on the units. Just OSP (Ohio) picture show three different wheels. The holed wheels date back to the 80's and I did hear of departments specifying the steel wheel as opposed to the cast wheels with the thought that the steel wheel well not shatter like cast wheels do. greg
  6. Freeway, but it isn't, pay the toll greg
  7. Dark Shadows was a very popular after school soap opera. greg
  8. "quality is job number one" according to Ford! greg
  9. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. greg

  11. Easiest fix for shaping beacon lights to body is to place a piece of sandpaper with the grit up and sand the base of the beacon to form the shape of the roof. In 1:1 the base is thin metal so it can be cut to form the roof shape and finished off with a rubber gasket. greg
  12.
