  1. Me too. No wonder-it doesn't look good.
  2. Wow Joe! I like that! Was that done on the computer?
  3. Always sad to hear things like this. My condolences.
  4. Nice car,but yeah,a little hard to believe. Those emblems on the air cleaner? Isn't the one closest to the camera a 78?
  5. This kit has a really nice multi piece chassis. Separate shocks,and exhaust. I've built several of these over the years. Too bad they got rid of the spinner hubcaps from the original.
  6. Wow,that thing must be huge! Let's see some pics!
  7. I'm just curious about what you guys use when building models. Some of the lucky ones don't have to use anything. I use an Optivisor with a #10 lens,which is the strongest they have. It's handy for a lot of things because I can't see very well anyway. Let's hear what you use.
  8. A friend of mine worked at National Body in the 60's when he got out of high school. He said it was amazing to see them take a brand new Cadillac,rip the interior out,and cut it in half!
  9. I did it to a 49 Ford years ago. It can be done.
  10. Very cool! Nice work!
  11. For me,probably the AMT 49/50 Fords,followed by the AMT 63 Corvette.
  12. I made a 3 window by glueing the windows in. Sand or file the edges off the windows to make them flat. It's a pretty simple operation. I bought a GMC conversion from Shawn Carpenter. He does nice work. Here's a link. http://public.fotki.com/jsharisky/model_cars_and_such/carpenter-list.html
  13. Here ya go. BTW,I know it's been covered before,but does everyone hate the new photobucket? I copied this picture twice before I realized it,and now I can't delete the first one. I hit 'delete' and the window goes black. ?????
  14. Born in 95? Ha! I have clothes older than you...
  15. Really nice,but it hurts my neck to look at it.

    Thanks! I've never used oils. I guess I like the fast drying time of acrylics.
  17. Really nice! I like the garage scene. Keep painting!
  18. Some people have way too much money. Could have been worse, I guess. Maybe....
  19. Nice model! I had a real van like that. Didn't look that good though.
  20. I know Casey,But it was my oldest brother's first car and I've always been sentimental about them. 57 Pontiacs do look better.
  21. I would love to see a really nice 55 Pontiac. Sorry Jo Han..
  22. Great work! I really like those old VW pickups. I have that same kit-I wish it had more detail,like an engine. Still nice though.
  23. Great story. Rock on .Mitch!

    Thanks Ray!
  25. I think I've bought models sometimes just because of the box art. Because I like to draw cars too,and the art work appeals to me. Newer kits that have had 'retouched photo of actual model' on the box have actually turned me off,unless I really want the kit and know what's in there.
