Built a few years ago. Not sure if this was posted here before, looked but couldn't find it if it was. The white is pearl don't remember the name of the metallic red. It was a model master color.

Throw some in a pan with water and boil it!

Just mailed Christmas presents to our 1st great grandson (2 more greats on the way) and the USPS shipping was twice the cost of the gift! For about 15 more dollars could have delivered them my self round trip! Can't sell models anymore because of shipping costs no one wants to pay what they are worth!

That does bring back fond memories! I can't remember how many issues I had at my grandma's in my old room along with hundreds of old cars magazines from the 50's and 60's when I got married and moved out. My sister took over the whole upstairs and cleaned it out and tossed them all in grandpa's burning barrel.

Older build pulled out of storage. Had a lot of loose parts to reattach but found everything but the side mirror. One of the first models I ever used bare metal foil on.

Don't remember just how long ago this was built. Box stock build.

This was done a few years ago. It was a 70's kit and a real glue bomb. Made a delivery truck with the stake bed from a Lindberg 34 pickup kit.

Still searching.

Just unpacked for the first time in decades. Was in a box padded by kleenex.

This is the 1/24 scale Monogram kit.

Old build I just unpacked. From the days when I had a steady hand and painted the trim.

Not going to change a thing just reglued two parts and put it in a case on display!

Sweet!!! Great colors and the ralley wheels are just right for it!

Really catches the spirit of the original! I have this one to do as a honey do for the wife!

Beautiful build! All of your builds are always so clean!

Beautiful build of a cool car! The wheels are a perfect match for it!

Just found this in a box of old stuff the wife kept from before we were married! I gave this to her when we were going steady! Didn't even know it still existed and the only part that fell off was the tie rod! Noticed I glued the headers on upside down!

Just pulled them out of the closet after about three years. Been there since we moved. Some built in the 80's.

Another part disappears into the model room black hole!

The ones I remember had either 10 inch full reverse US aluminum slots or Cragar SS on the back 6 inch with a 3 inch offset on the front with Mickey Thompson Indy Profiles all around L60's back and F 70's on the front! Of course the needed Gabriel HiJackers to clear the rear rubber with torsion bars adjusted to raise the front!!LOL

The wife's sister said her boyfriend was having issues and I told her to tell him to go get checked but she said he was taking something that he got from the health food store. 18 month later he has a tube though his belly direct to his bladder and now a tube running from each kidney all running to a bag on his leg. Taking chemo pills and bi-weekly appointments. Next week the will do surgery to plumb all three tubes into one. Just had mine checked last month, blood and physical checks and everything is good. My doctor said they quit doing the PSA yearly because the insurance companies and even medicare said they are not that accurate said they had a lot of false positives that led to unnecessary tests and procedures. Sounds more like they don't want to pay for what you pay them for.

By Illinois law the 50+ housing we live in (4 triplex units) installed all new 10 year smoke/o2 detectors. 8 of those now sit deactivated in the maintainence room because they were going off at all hours day and night for no reason! The maint. guy put new battery units back in and still has not gotten a response from Kidde on what the deal is. I just changed batteries in ours with the time change. Heard other people with the same issues with other brands! Sent one 90 year old lady to the hospital when her's went off at 3am and about scared her to death!

More coming soon! Finally got the bad paint off, the hard way as nothing seemed to touch it, even a two month long soak in the purple pond nor easy off! Ended up with a lot of careful sanding and brake fluid.

More coming soon! Finally found the thread!
