Very nice stuff. Scott

I have no shame Scott

Looks great! Scott

1970 - 1973 Formula for me. That's what I want. Scott

I can assume you custom ordered the plates (I know it's a dump question, but I have ask). By the way I was tickled when my car came up for new plates this spring. The numbers on the plate, which they gave me randomly, are 333. I keep wondering if this means I'm only half evil? Scott

What's strange about it? Scott

Years ago, Nissan had come up this a new car, and could not come with a decent name for it. So they called up their friends at Volkwagen in Germany for some advice. The Germans though they might be able to help. But asked how soon do you need the name? The Japanesse designers indicated that they need the name by Friday. The Germans replied, "Dat soon!?" - Scott

Very nice. I like it. Scott

Very good info above Mike. Except one thing. Corsa was not an option. It was listed as seperate model in the Corvair line, like the 500 and the Monza, in '65 and '66. Plus, a quick way to tell a Corsa from the lower level Corvairs. The 500s and Monzas have a body colored painted back panel around the taillights. Corsa has what I believe to be an anodized aluminum panel in same area. Scott

Any pictures of the Pontiacs? Scott

Hey didn't your mom warn you, "You make faces like that, it will stick permanently?" I heard several adults, when I was a kid warning us kids about that. Little did I know it was true until I saw your picture here Chris! What we weren't told, is this would only happen on film! Little did we know. Now with cameras on cell phones and everyplace else, it's can be more true today than ever before! Bewere kids. Scott

AMT's Hindenberg model I recently picked up comes with a "Made in the USA" Lindberg sticker on it. And price is quite reasonable. I'm happy to see some of these kit being produced back here in the good old USofA. Scott

Yea the bit about looking for sponsors to pay for moving him back to the states raises some flags for me. Using the above link, I didn't notice from where he located now. Maybe if I hit the other links on that page I'd find out. But, just reading the one page hold me everything I needed to know about this guy. Thankfully I have no desire to add an Uncertain T to collection. Scott (Aho)

Sweet! Scott

The following was told to me by a 5th grader while I was doing lunchroom duty today. What do you call a bear with no teeth? A "gummi" bear. I like that one. Scott

Yea, but will the hood fit other Beetle kits? Because, other than the hood, I have no interest in that kit. Scott

Looks fantastic. Scott

Looks very good. Needs hub caps though. Not the chrome ones, but the white painted ones. Scott

Pretty cool. I couldn't figure out where the other driver went to at first. Scott

Tony, your story reminded me, that an uncle of mine had an early 50's Hudson in the early 60's. It too had a rear seat armrest that I thought was a special seat for kids. Something our '61 Comet didn't have. Scott

They did at one time. I don't know if they do today or not. Speaking of that. Does anybody know were one can get a '40 Ford style hood that would fit on Revell's Beetle convertible? Scott

As far as I'm concerned, you grabbed the right picture. I must admit though, the photo shopped Mark without the hump doesn't look too bad. But, still like it with both the hump and the bumper exhaust. Even with thoughs features, it's still a very clean looking car. Considering it comes from the mid-1950's. Scott

I alway expect the best from you Tulio. And you never disappoint. Very nice. Scott

Very nice. But, the last time I was in Canada you guys were still driving on the right, with your steering wheel on the left. What happened? The Queen come back and take over the country? Despite that, very nice build. Scott

I'm enjoying the personal stories people are leaving on this tread. It sounds like most of us who grew up here in the U.S. lived pretty typical American lives. At least car wise at least. I hope more people continue to share their stories here. And it would be fun to hear more about those who did not grow up in U.S. Scott
