Known as the Clown Prince of Racing, Cerry Ezra "Jabe " Thomas was a well known prankster of slipping chicken bones into the pockets of unsuspecting rivals before races. Most of his 13 year (1965 - 1978) Nascar run was sponsored by Star City Body Shop cwner Don Robinson while operating his own Gulf gas station in Christiansburg, VA. Jabe placed 77 top 10's in 322 starts. He never lead a lap nor won a Nascar event. Penngwenn and kit mixture of decals with the kylon shortcuts Gloss Tangerine and Sun Yellow

Owned a 72 Gran Torino coupe with a 351 2V Cleveland...not only could I keep gas in it when switch to 4 barrel carb ( Heavy footinitus) but those God awful heavy hubcaps would take a different course when turning hard. One night on the way to pick up another cruising buddy, a little to fast taking a corner and off takes my left frt hubcap. Like a rogue circular missile, it launches off the curb airborne to land in front of some front porch step, right up that inclined obstacle and whammi lammed the front porch screen door. By the time I reached and planted my foot on the porch to collect my rogue hubcap, the porch light comes on and door swings opens..... Don't remember exactly what was said or hollered or if it was male or female that came to the door. By that time I was halfway back to an open car door with a running engine. I don't even think my feet left imprints in his front yard but did leave a single black streak that faded away after 20 feet... Still giggle to myself when I think about it....oh! Nice build of a great car!

You got four "Sponsored" rides in it...lol!

As I stated in the Truck Section, haven't posted in quite awhile but I have been busy....these were just some slump busting fun that I dug around in the parts box...

Actually owned the exact truck when I first got married back in 83....1983! 307 Cid with a 3 speed on the column and a single Thrush muffler

last pic was going to be the original finished version but decided on a more standard look..

Haven't posted anything in quite awhile but doesn't mean I haven't been busy..... First time in the Truck section!

Use the AMT 70 Monte Carlo roof

don't comment much of late when surfing the site viewing some great builds by some very talented people, but I have not yet seen one as captivating as yours. With all that's coming out in the coming weeks, my main mission now is to obtain a 60 Bonneville kit! I'm sure you've heard it before, but if you get tired or not satisfied down the road with it........... Great build1

Whew! Wasn't sure if there was a connection between the RR and ebay. Did have a transaction a few years back with RR and did get it resolved through soft spoken but firm words, patience and the BBB of Pennsylvania. Just didn't want to take another trip down memory lane. Thanks guys for the replies!

While surfing a few resins sites and finally ending up on Ebay, I came across a 70 AMX trans kit to use with the Jo-han AMX kit. My question.....is this the same individual of a well discussed resincasting site (Reliable Resin) and if so, his positive feedback is rated at a 100% which leads me to my next question, Are any unresolved transactions/disputes with this seller, if related to said mention individual of the first question, settled (i.e. refund or recievement of product).in a more timely manner. Any input would be appreciated.

Last year at the Clemmons, NC meet I came across a partial kit of a MPC RoadRunner. Missing was the hood,frt and rear bumpers and some small assorted parts. I quickly acquired the find. I was fortunate later on to know a friend that had a built unpainted MPC RR that he had come across and sold it to me. Quickly putting it in the freezer to disassemble, everything went successful afterwards. I purchased a hood and some parts from Hart's Parts, scoured the parts box for other odds and ends. Everything was gathered up to make to somewhat complete kits. The past Clemmons,NC meet I ran back into my friend who said he had a surprise for me at his table. When I finally got around to his table, I nonchalantly asked about the surprise to which he pulled from beneath the table a turquoise Promo of a 72 RR. Shiny and perfect....until his hand which covered the roof moved away to reveal a broken roof top from the A pillars to the C pillar.Everything else was intact, even the glass was flawless and not damaged.It was dropped sometime before his possession and thought that maybe I could salvage some parts from it. Once back home, I thought....."the 71-72 charger and RR shared the same roof line and I happened to have a AMT 71 Charger . In 15 mins, two perfect cuts and one transplanted roof from the AMT Charger to the RR Promo, a Phoenix was resurrected.Cut at the base of the A pillars to the beginning edge of the C pillar, it was a perfect fit. So ...as I Thanksgiving treat, two rare birds to feast upon. The 1st RoadRunner is the Phoenix Promo....

Anyone makes a formula hood that would fit this kit?

The hood, grill and frt valance pan interchanged with no problem....

Recommend contacting the Better Business Bureau in the state he /his business resides in. That what it took to get results with my dealings with him a couple of years back. Since then I use US Postal MO so in case a transaction goes south, involving USPS will yield results. Since that unfortunate incident with RR, all other business transactions with resin dealers have been more than positive have my full support in the efforts to have a business, make a profit and contribute to a hobby we all love.
