Thanks for the answers, Any kits with that seat in it? greg

Working on a project model of a real truck, I need to know if any one can Identify where this seat came from? greg

Charlie's finished trucks are spectacular and appreciate his sharing his skills, I believe that the Ford cab is from 1962 as I believe that was the last Ford pick up model until AMT's release of the Ford pick up in the mid 70's. I had the privilege of obtaining one of the castings and ended making a newer 1970 model where I had to make my own grill. Had a little problem with an interior but ended up with this: greg

Here are their line up photos http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/blues-bros-lineup/ The only marks are the hob (house of blues) tm and 1996, made in china greg

There were a set out years ago, I will take snaps of them and post them later. What's with the green tires? greg

I have a friend who got both the CPD and the BB's cars, with GREEN tires. What goes? here is a reference sale on ebay, I have no interest in this sale which I find overpriced http://www.ebay.com/itm/Greenlight-Green-Machine-1974-Dodge-Monaco-BluesMobile-Blues-Brothers-1-24-/361773369305?hash=item543b5f87d9:g:HKYAAOSw8gVYA~zV greg

You could make a tilt bed, with the out riggers it would work.

You are very welcome, my pleasure helping out. greg

If I understand this the raised part is going to be a recess with a license plate inside. then lower the whole platform you have it on and drill holes in the top plate at the corners to draw the vacuum. the license plate will cover them up. Or... reverse your mold and make the draw into the recess by little holes in the corners of the recess that would be able to draw the vacuum and pull the plastic into it greg 1 rivet, 2 rivet, 3 rivet, 4 rivet, oh darn lost count....

It appears in the photos that you are trying to vacuum form a negative form, that being the top is wider than the bottom, If that is true you have hard task to complete. To get the upper edge of the plate you might put some small holes in the corners that allow the vacuum pull towards the edge. If it has to be clear then make another form that fits around the upper form and push it on the plastic after the pull but still in the pliable state, my experience is with the Mattel toy greg 'I don't build with rivets'

I had one a long long time ago, It was a fun kit to build and matched up the visible engine to it, It all worked in spurts. One good thing that Renwal did was provide a replacement parts sheet where you could send away for new parts, My brother and I souped it up with lower grit number sandpaper on the clutch plates, a little more battery kit to the motor. Used vasoline to keep things moving as directed in the directions) Have a few parts left, not many, It was big for a kid to move around. Had the radial airplane engine also. Parents thought good investment for a mechanically inclined child. greg

YEAH! Nice easy build fire truck, Good job, Lot of possibilities like this with conventional cabs and the ALF pumper body. greg

The directions for the Entex Harley greg

Just some highlights of NNL meet in Sylvania OH. http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/nnl-nationals-no-37/ greg

I guess it would depend on how it was painted, Squirrel or skunk? greg

Had a little fun remembering things with the current threads, I scanned some of my old directions in search of the stuffed animals, ended up with trailers, odds and ends. Do you remember ''NoTox', or 'Thermal plastic'? There is a post card membership application for a model club that was like a record club, did anyone belong? take a graze down some nostalgia greg http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/follow-the-directions/

Here is the new flyer page:

Here is my menagerie from the kits. Don't know what kits they came from. http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/my-first-album/p1040492.html http://media.fotki.com/1_p,rtskrbgtbwkwtggxwbfrddsrftbss,vi/bsfgbftkkxrttwtwrtwxbrqggwgws/8/3457628/13265735/P1040492-vi.jpg greg

FYI The bulldog is now gold as the gold represents the Maxidyne engine and to let people know what engine the bulldog is anodized gold as opposed to chrome keep building greg

This just came up on a jigsaw puzzle web site http://www.jigidi.com/solve.php?id=WJGO3YLF greg

Has any one made parts to change from a GTX to a standard Plymouth? Front bumper, grill, stone guard, hood and rear taillight bumper. greg

Here are some pics from a local get together held by a local museum http://public.fotki.com/GLMFAA1/wheels-of-steel/ greg

Let us remember and relay those memories to those who are to young to remember. greg

At least I can comment over here. Nice job, I like the 911 decal greg
