Hey Rick: Welcome back to the future where the models you built in the 60's are now being reproduced and cost 300 times more than the 60's. greg

Good to see they still let you over the border, I would have put you on the watch list in Toledo! Thanks for all the pictures. Why the October date under the pics? greg

I had the Dodge Ramcharger version, Don't recall the water ski rack in the kit. They look more like snow skis instead. (use on 'Better of Dead' Camaro!) greg

Nice NASCAR builds. I also liked it back then. greg

Just for the fun of it and to see if it was possible I made the pump panel used masking tape to mark off spots that needed to remain, carefully planed, filed, and sanded area Recommend shapeways source for the stortz suction connection. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/downrangeproductions1-35th-scale?section=1%2F24+scale+parts&s=0 greg

To add to Charlie's rear wheel protrusion, use the Ford wheels, on the rear brake drum take 1/8th inch off the axle shaft and reverse the brake drum rear plate that goes on the differential. so far so good to my eye. I can't tell from your picture if there are two discharges on this side. greg

Very nice collection and caused a google search into EMF and Fador's models. Thanks for the history lesson. greg

Needs a big a## siren! nice job. greg

Thank goodness the Akron engine doesn't have the crew cab extension that was added by many manufacturers. greg

Great diorama! Wasn't it the Keystone Kops? Cops was spelled with a K to correspond with the Keystone studio that produced the films. I'm guessing it was corrected so the influential little brains to be molded had to have the right spelling. greg

Charlie is going to have his own 'Red Ball Express' greg

Not a very hard conversion to do: here are a few of mine This one was from a long time ago which I donated to a charity auction. Here are some hints: If you need some help feel free to pm me. Please make sure the hard suction ends are reversed from the instructions as they are shown the wrong way. greg

Your detailing is appreciated. One question on your welding outfit. The tanks upstairs are uncapped and the ones on the welding rig are capped, how do you turn them on? Also aren't oxygen tanks green and acetylene red. Always like a good diorama that tells a visual story. greg

Just one more detail for the fine job, On the rim in front of the lids they hand paint in yellow paint 'WIRES' with an arrow if there are over head utility line above the load zone. You need a front loader for that: greg

This is the part I was thinking of: geg

What an ambitious project, Really a bit of history. I think I found the inspiration for the air induction scoop (would the AMT double dragster kit scoop work?). How would you work on that engine after a run with those headers. greg

While attending the Buckeye Classic NNL there was a young gentleman with his father who assisted a vendor with his merchandise. My suggestion would be for the promoters of an event to team up with the local boy scouts and for a nominal few assist vendors if they wish with there wares during set up and breakdown. This would be a fund raising event for the scouts and aid the elderly vendors whom seem to make up the majority of them. greg

Just a few and early entries to the NNL Classic, Thanks to the club for a great show and great vendors. Looking forward to next year. https://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/13th-annual-buckeye/ greg

This you tube has good reference material: greg

Wanted something different and built this Ford 150 4x4 into a fictitious Homeland security vehicle. Scratch built the service cap, added the light bar from the Revell police car and decals from Bill Bozo. Is this the same kit just released by Revell? greg

1980 Revell bronco 240 Robert painted but never built from 1980. The box is shaken but doesn't build itself. greg

I had a Dodge Ramcharger that was titled as a station wagon because I ordered the rear seat. Without a rear seat it was considered a truck in Ohio. greg

A big THANKS greg

Here is the Payhauler brochure for the water tanker: Quick build of the tank: Powder Chocolate container. i.e. Nestle's Quick greg
