Agreed. We have that problem with our engineering staff here where I work. They have talent, but no practical experience. I tell them all the time that while they are busy trying to re-invent the wheel, they would do well to remember that the diploma they earned from college or trade school is a LEARNERS PERMIT, not a license that states they know everything... And I agree about the generational thing too. I'll be the first to admit that I can't do HALF of the stuff that the younger generations can do with computers. I'm just an analogue man in a digital world.

That is just the kind of common sense solution to tech problems that we need MORE of in this country. But since the computer tells us its not possible, we sit on our hands and give up.....

Really nice build Gregg!! I have this one in my stash. I plan to build it "Gas Monkey" style, Semi-gloss black paint, wide whites with chrome reverse rims, lowered with a slight rake, sbc with dual exhaust, disc brakes, stock interior. At least that's the plan... for now....

Man!! you work FAST!! lovin the stance so far.

Can't wait!!! Got all kinds of ideas!!!! This is gonna be COOL!!!

Just completed another great trade with b-body fan (Mike Stevenson). Between us, we should open our own hobby shop!!! pleasure to trade with you Mike!!

Ran into that on the bay too. It looks like a deal till you average in the shipping cost versus buying from say, Model Roundup. Depending on what you buy, Jack generally charges a flat 9.99 or so for shipping which is about right for where I live. But some of these characters charge more for shipping than the original purchase. I know that you can add your own filters for certain shipping costs, but it is getting alittle out of hand.

Thanks for the reply. I really enjoyed his builds. I figured the 1:1 cars would take the place of the models. That's OK. Glad to hear he's doing well.

Good point!!! lol. I probably would try. Looks great.

Just saw your page Kevin. I saw a must have item on the very front page!!! 1978 LTD. You will have an incoming order from me for one ASAP!!

Me too!! It was pretty neat to follow along.... getting ideas.

Wow!! That is SO COOL!!! You nailed it man!! With the short wheelbase, are you going to add wheelie bars?

Nice VW!! I owned 2 of the 1:1 ones over the years, but never one that looked that good. Great job!!

Any chance of a resin repop? Thats just COOL!!! Great Job!!!

Late to the party ,man!! Happy Birthday !! And best wishes for many more!!

Just completed another smooth trade with Superpeterbilt (Terry Hymel). Great guy to trade with. Hooked me up with some hard to find parts.

That is sharp!!!!

Has anybody heard from Nikko lately? I miss following along on his builds.

Thats a sharp looking Torino Shane!!! you should be proud of that one!! I think you did a GREAT job on it.

Could you imagine the looks on those German engineers faces?? Now THAT would be priceless!!!! .. YOU VANT TO DO VAS MIT MINE AUTO??? NINE !!!!

I actually HAVE one of those!!! LOL!! An Alpini edition at that!!

You guys went ABOVE and BEYOND on my behalf, and I Thank everyone for they're help!! I would have had a MUCH harder time joining in on this build without you guys.

EASY the man says....... LOL!!! If it weren't for the guys on this board ,(and you know who you are), i wouldn't have been able to get in on this build. Thanks much guys!!

After much scratching, horse trading, begging, and with ALOT of help from friends. I'm in!!
