Wow Good subject... I have had a bad experience with Judges at an IPMS show here Locally a few years ago. The Local Chapter had a show/contest and I took a few Models and entered them. I had a BOx Stock Build of a Dale Earnhardt Monte Carlo. It was declaed the way it was when he won the BrickYard 400. So they prestented the awards.. I received second. Cool. at least I placed. After the awrds were handed out I go to pack the Models up. I see the Hodd was setting besides the Car. When i Picked it up I see where someone had dropped the hood and the Paint had chipped off. I went to the shows co-ordinator and asked about this. He went and asked the ones that Judged the class. I could see some arms waving and such. i knew this was not good. He came back to me and explained that when Looking at the Model one of the judges Picked it up and the Hood fell off, chipping it. I asked him why didn;t they tell me about it when it happened? he has No idea. I also asked to see the Judging sheet for the Model. he went back to the Judegs and asked for the sheet. I heard they usually don;t do this But i wanted to see it. In the Painiting area it was mrked for a chip. I lamost flew off the Handle at this Point. I raised My Voice and asked why was i dinged because of a Judges accident with My model. I had everyones attention In the room at that Point. He mentioned that they were Not familiar with car Models and their issues with Hoods and doors. Any way after that i put on My sheet that if anyone needs to look at or pick up the Model to call me for assistance. I do this only at IPMS shows. the car shows are cool about it. never had any problem with them I direct a show within the Good Guys show here at the Kansas speedway. the first year someone a grown Man Picked the Hood up off of a 8th scale Z-28 I said sternly please don't touch the Models. Man this guy put it donw fast But carefully and then was so apologetic that he sdai it many times while Lookng at the rest of the Models. after that I aske for a recevie some stantions and Poles so that there is at least an arms reach between the Models and the walkway. it brings a piece of Mind. I also Have Placards all over that state don't touch the Models. -

Good Kit.. I while ago I got a rebuilder <Way beofre the announced re issue. Everything but the Body is the Ivo Kit, The one on the List to be reissued also. It is the same as the Two Much, another good Model. although it has its shortcomings. The frame is square not round tubes. Lots of sanding to make round. the engine is lacking some detail. But it brings back memories from a day when it was New.

Swearing and cussing on the board
cruzn replied to Gregg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Gregg Very well said.. I have the ability to use those Kind of words But choose not to. Why? because it downgrades the Point you are trying to make. The response from those words Just brings on More of the same. At work those words get Used alot. But at home or Out and about in the general Public. I hardly ever use them. Just situational. Once You get Used to doing things somewhere it gets Hard to Undo that Habit. -

Sign of the times?
cruzn replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Kmart did away with their Lay-A-Way an few years ago. Now they are bringing it back.. I guess the economy is dictating that as well as the Wal-Mart Competition. which doesn't have Lay -a-way now. -
