According to the GSX wholesale order form, the GSX came with option F-7 "Super Wide Oval White Billboard Lettered Tires G-60-15 Inc. Chrome Plated Wheels". The "Chrome Plated Wheels" that are being referred to are the Buick five-spokes. Now that we've cleared that up. You guys can go back to debating on how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

There is no way I'm getting involved in this one. Unbelievable! Scott Whoops, I think I just did. Sorry.

I think both the car and the date are ugly. Both are kind of nightmarish. Scott

Here's a few photos I found on the web for you. No picture of the package tray. But, a site talked about the package tray. All it is is piece of wood with the same material covering it as used on the seats. I hope this helps, somewhat. Scott

Was this the new kit? Or the older snap kit? Scott

Rick continue with the story on building this car. How did you do what you did? And can we see more photos? Scott

Be cause of American Graffiti, one of my quintessential Hot Rod songs will always be Green Onions, by Booker T. & The MG's. Scott

Come on Art. This is getting a little irritating. Just tell us. Scott

The head of our local Crosley Club chapter (the North Star Chapter), and editor of the National Crosley Club's magazine, Fred Syrdahl has a Crosley fork lift. I remember him having me do a tuneup on it maybe 15 years ago now. Parts were still readily available at that time. By the way, Fred has a good joke about Crosley's emblem. He says, "You see those birds in Crosley's emblem? They represent the the pigeons that got suckered in to buying a Crosley." And Fred should know, at any one time he owns probably a half a dozen Crosleys, or more. Scott

Steve I can tell by your Chrysler 300 hood ornament ('66?) in your icon box (or what ever that thing is on the left is called), you like 300s. I picked that up right away. I was kidding around with my little post above about you and your acquisition. That's why I left the little smiley face thing :^) turned side ways at the end of the post. I too love Chrysler 300s. Mainly the letter cars. But I do like the non-letter car up through 1971 also. I even like the 1979 Cordoba 300. The new 300s? They okay. But, they are not the mighty 300s of the letter car era. My favorite 300? The 1960 300F. Ranks in my my ten all time favorite cars. So, I was just kidding around. I'm really glad you got that '64 300 for as cheaply as you did. And I'm sorry to hear the story about your friend killed in the Vega. Scott

Very interesting. Thanks for linking this. I'm no engineer, so I have no real comments. I'd be interested in hearing what experts in the field think about the Duke engine and their claims. To somebody like me, it looks good and makes sense. Scott

Or at least what Archie's car should be. Scott

I went to Revell's web site and looked that the instructions for this kit. Other than the V8 and no top down boot. This could make a very convincing model of Archie's car. Scott

You saw it on road. I think it counts. Very nice. Scott

Again, I've been getting no orange peel since switching lacquer. Scott

Where did you see that Lee? Just because somebody makes a comment that they are surprised that Hobby Lobby got a kit before the regular hobby stores? Or Harry's joke, about it being a miracle? It may not be the best joke. But, I don't see either comment as slam against Christians or Hobby Lobby. Scott

By the way Rick. Tell us about the model. Scott

The wheel lips aren't right! Oh, wait. That only on the Revell kit. And this is MPC. All kidding aside, your Barracuda looks great, Jesse. Scott

Gee, I can't imagine why your so happy about finding an old 300? :^) Scott

Say Ron, and I don't know how to say this without looking like a jerk. But why do post a picture of that Pontiac with every one of your responses? We've seen it already. And we know your proud. You should be. But, please give it a rest. Gees, I hope I'm not being too mean about that. But, it bugs me for some reason. Scott

As I was reading your response Bill, it dawned as I read what I originally wrote, is that I forgot one word that could change the whole meaning of a sentence. I originally wrote, "He said, that they were big deal." It should have read, and now does, "he said, that they were no big deal." At the same time, from looking your response, you seem to have understood my meaning. I've been finding that I do this quite a bit. Forget to put one small, but sometimes important word in a sentence. I sometimes go back days later and find the mistake. Having to edit the posting. I try and re-read everything a couple of times before posting. But, these simple mistakes slip by me. Making me look like an imbecile. So if you guys see that I edit a lot of my posts. Now you know why. You know, I are college edumicated. (And yes I spelled educated wrong as joke.) If anybody is little confused by anything I write, because it looks a little off, please feel free to question or point out the mistake. Again, I'm not the idiot I appear to be. And now you know why professional writers have editors. Scott

Wow! Very, very nice. A good save. Scott

I was not a big fan. But, I'm sorry to hear about it. Scott

Good explanation of the problem with COBRA engine Art. The brazed seams are what would let go with coolants used at the time. Other than that, it was a great little engine. Scott

Sounds like it maybe a pain. I stick with I got. I'm happy with it. Scott
