I got my AMT '36 Ford built 2 months ahead of our '36 Ford contest at the November MCCM (Model Car Club of Minnesota) meeting. One less thing to worry about, and rush to build at the last minute.

Been using one for about four months now. I've had no problem with mine at all. In fact I'm not sure I understand the problem being described here. I love Tamiya's paint stand. I've never found one better.

Oh I understood were it came from. I have one. I just think your maybe the first one I've seen built. You see lots of Revell '57 Fords out there built. But, very few, if any police cars so far. And again, very nice job you did on yours.

I'm not sure if I'd be interested in something like this or not? I'd need see one first. Plus this idea is not aimed at somebody like me. It's designed for new younger generation. I just hope it gets kids interested in building real model cars down the road.

I have the new Slingster and the Long John. And I like them both. The Long John is very simple. Low number of parts. And I'm sure it's too big for 1/24th scale. But, it's a fun blast from the past. With the new Slingster I've got nothing to complain about. I think it's a great kit. I even like the wheels and tires.

That's why I put the potato in the neighbors exhaust pipe when I was a teen. It was to improve their car's performance. To bad they didn't appreciate the help I was giving them. I was such a kind and caring kid as a teen.

The post office delivered the AMT 1927 Model T Ford touring car kit that I won on eBay a couple of days ago. It was brand new still in the plastic, of Ertl's first release of that kit back in 1988. Open up the box (destroying the value) and started doing some sub assembly. Seems to be a simple but nice kit. I like it.

Monty's posting reminds me, I'm impressed that you didn't make the mistake of painting the engine Chevy Orange. But, since your dad owns one, you obviously knew the correct color.

Pretty car. Good save. Nice to see a Javelin and not an AMX. AMXs are cool. But, so are the Javelins. By the way any license should hide the broken license mounting in the back.

That's not my goal Tom, to follow you around the Internet fixing your "bumbling posts". I just enjoy topics like this so much. And I look at it as me adding my "bumbling posts" on to yours. The things you post are great. The info you pass on is great. But I hope your like me, and enjoy it when somebody can add something interesting facts to complete the story. I'm obsessed with history. Mainly automotive. And sometimes get too carried away sharing what I know.
