  1. I didn't get one either. You think Greg has a problem with his automated sending? Maybe we all have our profile set to forward mail to Mr. Obsessive??? Brian
  2. Well, it sure looks like a Subaru Samber van that's been customized a little. And for the real or model part - ???? Brian
  3. A model ??? How about some more info - scale? Any idea who built it etc? Brian
  4. Search the forums for Arrowhead before you send your money.
  5. Kris Morgan has some distributors and resin parts on eBay. Real nice parts and fast delivery too. Check for seller - morgandetail Brian
  6. It's a simple looking Dart - built for a club contest Brian
  7. Are you sure there's only two of those DOHC hemis? - you just never know when another one of those might show up Brian
  8. I just got two of these in the mail today. Very nice castings. Now I've just got to build something around the engine (in other words - what should I put it in?) Brian
  9. There's a relief molded in for the intakes so it's very thin in that area - easy to open. Brian
  10. I just got a hood for my lightweight project from Ed at Drag City Casting: http://www.dragcitycasting.com/ Very nice resin and fast service too! I also got a '60 wagon for another project to add to the pile! Brian
  11. Albert, How many models do you have with flames? Brian
  12. Albert, When did that DeSoto sneak into the house? I really like those colors. Brian
  13. Albert, You know, that wagon really needs a home where it can be displayed properly. I'll offer to find a spot for it to help you out. Brian
  14. Albert, Do the shiny one first - you don't need a rust bucket yet. The Poncho power sounds like a good idea for you to try. Brian
  15. Well, this is what Goodyear replied to me: We have model licensees who continue to use the Goodyear brand on the tires for authenticity purposes. However that is not to say that we don't charge a royalty fee for the use of the brand. The model company ultimately decides whether to pay a licensing fee or not based on their market and the margins they determine they need to achieve. Regards, Kathleen Miller Customer Relations Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company What I want to know - Revell had to spend some tooling money to remove the Goodyear names - they must have thought that was the most cost effective thing to do. Just how much money does Goodyear want per kit to use their logo? Brian
  16. Albert had that can of Clearview 200 stashed away for a while ! Brian
  17. I've ordered a few times - great prints, prices, and quick delivery Brian
  18. If you glue the shocks in, they'll help keep it at ride height. Brian
  19. At the local Hobby Shops, the foil comes in from the distributors cracked. I figured it was all the handling to the west coast. I did contact Bare Metal a few weeks ago. Their reply: The problem of the 'spider-webbed' cracks is typically caused by age. The shelf-life for the foil is 6 months. For optimum results, I recommend storing the foil flat, in a zip-lock bag, in the refrigerator. However, this will not prevent the cracking when the foil has aged. I recommend not purchasing any more at one time than you can use within 6 months of the purchase. When the foil leaves here it is definitely fresh stock. We usually are just keeping up with demand from customers & hobby shops so the foil generally doesn't have a chance to 'age'. Once the hobby shops receive the foil, we really have no idea of how they store it or how long they have had it in stock before they sell it. If you want to ensure that the foil you receive is fresh, you are welcome to purchase it directly from us. Thank you for contacting Bare-Metal Foil Co. Regards, Eldred P.

  20. Well, I went to Wingrove's site and didn't find it, but I'm voting model because - - - I don't know why. Brian
  21. It sure is hard to open a new thread and see the last response first. Then you get to wonder what are they talking about? In favor of the old way !!! Brian
  22. For that deuce sedan how about the one they already have tooled up - the Orange Crate street / strip ? I'd much rather see an all new stock full fendered tool but - - - Brian
  23. Paul Can you explain a little more - "I also plan to hinge both hoods using liquid silver tube beads." Any pics? I haven't heard of that before. Brian
  24. Ray, If you started hauling doubles, you could have a portable workroom of your own. (One trailer to make money - one to spend money on.) You could pull in to a contest and have your own portable show! Brian
  25. Maybe trying to clean it is what caused me to go bald so young ??? Brian
