Thanks Tom. Got the decals a couple of days ago and they are really nice. Better than I was hoping for ( high quality). Going to enjoy using them. Richard

Thanks Gregg. Love the magazine. Was really big into slots back in the 60's. When not at work was at one of a half dozen tracks. Richard

Any word on when #4 might be out? Not in a hurry. Just curious. Richard

I put around 300 kits in storage in Sioux Falls, South Dakota back in 1992, to be there for about 6 months, Finally got them in 2012. They are all just fine(including the decals). They went though hot summers and very cold winters. Outside storage unit.

That is really funny. My issue is the first one I have ever received with any damage on the cover. About the same as yours Jairus. HHMMM! Mine only had come down the road about 50 miles from Denver.

Had a great trade with Ken Krawiec "Bigtruck". Kit came in fantastic shape( and very quick). Would trade with Ken anytime. Super fellow!

Just want to know. Do you sell them or just make them for yourself? Richard

I have a AMT 1973 mustang kit with a great picture of the louvered back window. No louvers!! Found out the 1971 kit (which doesn't show the louvers), has it in that kit. Was not about to buy a second kit just to get this piece. Was pre-round2(a few years ago). Still need the louvers. Richard.

My first car was after highschool. Had a motorcycle earlier. Hard to take girls on dates in the rain and winter months. Back to the car. It was a 61 austin healy "bugeye" sprite. Had plexiglass slide open removable side windows. Wasn't much better that cycle in the winter(at least the cycle would start). Got to know all the city bus drivers by there first names during the winter. But when it ran my dates did stay dry (and somewhat warm). After two winters I traded for a Simca 1000. It had real rollup windows and a heater that worked all the time. Met my wife with it. Richard

That is truly amazing. I have a 49 merc I started on in 1963 (duel headlights, painted whitewall slicks, etc.) that will probably NEVER be finished. I did things on it back then that to this day I have no idea how I did. I look at at it every now and then and put the parts back in the well worn box. It is now almost a shrine . Richard

All of those rereleases and not one of them had " the first kit " fenderskirts in them as far as I know. Bummer! Richard

I own a 1988 plymouth horizon with the 2.2 and my engine is oil with a little black paint. Hope this helps. Richard

Same here.

That is one sweet ride. Love the flathead. I take it back. There is nothing about your model that I don't love. Richard

Would love to find the custom front piece from the annual 62 vette. I think that is one of the coolest pieces of all time. Richard

That is UBBER FANTASTICO!. You are costing me money though. I now have to buy this kit. Richard

It is hard to believe I was there fifty years ago(1963/1964). It is not the same but still the greatest race on the planet. Richard

All of my paints(including some rather old pactra spraycans) are in the hobby room(the spare bedroom). Richard

Wow! Did you find any of his books? Richard

Great looking cars. Look like the real thing. What color(paint brand) did you use for the kodak yellow? If you don't mind me asking that is. Richard

Don't have a picture but had a 71 Vega GT. 1976 in Slater, Iowa. It was white with black striping like a camaro. We thought it was our little camaro. WRONG! It had an aluminum block that made oil disappear before your very eyes. We had a station that had the old glass bottle of reused oil that you would hand crank from a large barrel for tractors that we filled it with (every other day). It was only 20 cents a bottle. Fun to drive though. Richard

I went to drivers school in a brand new 1960 Plymouth Fury (yes it was 1960) with the retangular clear wheel. When you are learning to drive the wheel could have been triangular and I probably wouldn't have been bothered. We didn't know any different. The wheel felt normal to a 15 year old. I was more worried about those giant fins behind me when it came time to the parallel park the beast (between two poles)for my license. Richard

Went to indoor flea market yesterday. Bought a revell 57 chevy pro sportsman kit for $2.00. It was missing one wheel. With over 500 kits to stare at in the hobbyroom I'm sure there is a spare wheel that will work. My wife couldn't figure out why I was giggling like a schoolgirl. Richard

Our greatgrandson just had his first birthday party on march 1st. Time goes so fast I try not look at a watch or calender anymore(only to see when doctor appointments are). Richard

I get my silly putty at the dollar store. Guess how much(had to throw in some bad humor). Richard
