Thank you. Scott

Two old golfing buddies were having philosophical debate about whether there was golf in heaven when you die. Neither could agree. So, they decide to make a pact with each other. Which ever one died first would come back in spirit form and let the other know who was correct. Well, a few weeks later one of them dies. The next night he appears to his buddy in spirit form. And he tells him, "I've got good news and bad news. Which would you rather hear first?" The living one says, "You know, I'm not feeling to well myself. So you better give me the good news first." His dead buddy says, "The good news is, that there is golf in heaven! In fact the most beautiful courses you've ever seen. The weather is always perfect. You can get on the course any time you want. And you always shot par or under!" The living buddy says, "Great! What's the bad news?" The dead one tells him, "You tee off at 10 am tomorrow morning." Scott

A coworker just told me this one. Why was the strawberry sad? Because it's mother was in a jam. Scott

One of the middle schools I work at is going to be displaying and using my 4D Vision model of a Saturn V as a teaching tool. (If you wish to see the model for yourself, you can see it under "all the rest".) Scott

Ole and Sven went out and bought themselves a new Ford Country Squire, back when they were still available. When they got it home, they started stripping the fake wood off of it. When they were done Ole turned to Sven and said, "You know something Sven? I liked it better when it was in the crate." Scott

I've wondered about its salability too. Especially the Cutlass Supreme. I passed on the 4-4-2 because of the hood with the scoops. This hood was optional on the 4-4-2s, and I never cared for it. I wish they'd reissue the kit with the option of building it with the stock hood. Scott

Whoops I missed that one. It should read "stole" not "stool". Scott

Sound reasonable to me. I like what they are doing and look forward to more of their stuff in the future. Scott

I had to go back and look at my '71 Charger. And I was surprised to see that rather buckets and console, it came with a bench. Ertl did this on the '66 Riviera they tooled up about the same time too. I always thought this was odd, even on the Riv. The real cars were available set up that way. And I do know the real car they modeled their new '66 Riv after. And it was set up that way. I assuming the same was true when they were doing their new '71 Charger. To me bucket would have been perfered in either case. Scott

Boy, you guys are just looking for problems. I have to quit looking at this tread before I begin to believe you too much, and start disliking this kit. The I've got looks pretty good. As noted, I've just started working on it. And despite the flaws you guys keep pointing out, it still looks like it will build into a decent looking '67 Camaro to me. I do need to quit reading this thread. It's become no fun. Like Revell' latest '70 'Cuda it may not be perfect. So are a lot of the models I've built over the years. But, if they do a pretty good representation of the real car. In others words if the average person can not tell there is anything wrong. I'm pretty happy with it. This is my last comment on this subject. I'm not going to let you guys ruin any more of my fun. On to other things. Scott

Good kit to come back with. Always a fun one. Scott

Ah, Bob Taber stool exactly what I was going to say. Scott

I still am interested in hearing from somebody who has actually used Spaz Stix before. I know lots of guys who use Alclad with good results. And from them, I know how to use and apply Alclad. I'm cautious using something new, until I've heard from somebody who has actually tried it. Scott

Do you know why chicken coops have two doors? If they had four doors they'd be chicken sedans. Scott

About every ten years I have a run in with kidney stones. No fun. My sister who has had four kids and kidney stones, will tell you the pain from kidney stones is a lot worst than delivering babies. Just went through my last bout this last January. I hope I'm good for at least another 9 1/2 years. Scott

I forgot to mention the Marx Bros. and the Three Stooges. And sorry to say guys, but I like Shemp just a little bit better than Curly. Don't get me wrong, Curly is great. But I find Shemp a bit funnier. And my all time favorite comedian was, is, and always will be, Grocho Marx. Whether in the movies or his show, "You Bet Your Life". And I have every Marx Bros. movie and all 190 Stooge shorts on DVD. Vince mentioned Universal Horror films. They are still the best. I also like Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce's version of Sherlock Holms and Watson still. Basil Rathbone brings me to The Adventures of Robin Hood, staring Errol Flynn. I also love Claude Rains in that movie. Talking about Universal horror leads to another great movie, Abbott and Castello Meet Frankenstein. And bring up the name Frankenstein, and that reminds of one of my all time favorite comedies, Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein. And his other seminal piece of work, Blazing Saddles. That's it for now. So many great movies. Whoops, I'm a almost forgot the great Tarzan movies with Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan. Okay, that's it for sure, for now. Scott

Great to see this article right now. Last Wednesday I picked up AMT's recently rereleasted '33 Willys Panel Truck. It comes with this engine. The engine in the kit looks pretty good compared to the photos at this link. Thanks Gene for posting it. Scott

As others have said, great color. Looks good. Scott

Thank you guys for clearing that up. That had been the first time I had ever heard of Daytonas being called "Birds". In fact I have never heard of Roadrunner Superbirds being called just "Birds". Daytonas were Daytonas. Superbirds, Superbirds. I'm of the old school were Birds referred to mainly Thunderbirds in the automotive vernacular. Scott

Thank you Dean. Now that I see it, sorry to say, it would not interest me in least. Scott

So with Spaz Stix you need to put down a gloss black base like Alclad? Nick, since you've used it, tell us more. Is prep and buffing afterwords differ from using Alclad? any pictures of the end result? Scott

I'm curious. Why do you called them "Birds"? Scott

Okay, so what is an Elio? How about some pictures? Or a link to something? So rest of us can find out what an Elio is. Scott

I agree with that one. Scott

What vehicle is being talked about here? Scott
