GMC Astro 95 with Lowboy and Bell UH1
GLMFAA1 replied to dragstueck's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very nice concept, in reality the load would have the main and tail rotor removed, the height from ground to top of the rear rotor is fourteen feet, eight inches I recall a few years ago a UH falling off a trailer in California after hitting a bridge with the mast of the main rotor http://www.vvdailypress.com/article/20150220/NEWS/150229987 greg -

Multibrand Dealerships in 50s and 60s
GLMFAA1 replied to JRB53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
No too many multi brand dealers, but I remember Lincoln/Mercury, Plymouth/Desoto dealerships and here is an interesting site listing Ohio dealerships that also had 60's muscle car connections. I think Spitzer had multiple dealerships with different brands but not under one roof. http://www.oneownercollectorcar.com/index.php/dealerships/235-ohio-dealers-knafel-pontiac-hopkins-chev greg -

Ohio State Highway Patrol Car Color
GLMFAA1 replied to pcm1977's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I will get you the real color from some of my contacts, What are you using for your model, The Lindberg Dodge is an older model and the OSP had that year as a test and they were white units. The light bar is all blue and Tamiya transparent is what you want to use, There are two different brands of light bars being used. here is the 2015 body greg -

Dennis I would contact Charlie Rowley, he is on this site, He may be of assistance, If my memory serves me right I recall some type of funny show car model that had dual chain drive system, The dual chain drive system consist of 4 chains all together, The two drive chains then a second chain on the wheel sprocket to the other axle sprocket which was the same size as the front axel sprocket. The first axle had two sprockets on each side, one for the drive and the second one for the rear axle. O=O >* greg

Beany's Drive Through
GLMFAA1 replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just to tease you with some eastern USA culinary roadside delights, not drive-ins, but another lost part of Americana http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2lhr8w It's a little long, but will wet your appetite. greg -
Here is a 'Bing' translation of the description from the website: He says the "Guilquipedia" that the artist who devised and completed this work was called "Arman". Baptized by his giving of air as Armand Pierre Fernandez in his native nice, Armand, then known as "Arman" developed most of his career as an artist in the United States. He died in 2005 and the work that stands out for our hosts fierreras, this work entitled "Long Term Parking" which lies somewhere in France since 1982. Twenty tons of reinforced concrete and some dozen other French cars make together a work of intense value than from its almost eighteen meters high overlooking the viewer and reproaches from his opulent texture. A small series of postcards topped the brief explanatory text of midnight with work during your pregnancy. Nothing more to say in these days of low harvest of our pages. We said goodbye and continue it tomorrow.

Ford WT9000 "The Blue Mule"

Very nice build, May add the 8th gray hair: did you miss the wipers? greg -
It's not my parents first car but it was the family's first new car, a 1954 Ford wagon, no Squire just a 4 door wagon powder blue with a white top, My dad was so proud about how he went about shopping around and worked the dealerships by saying this one had a better offer and could this one beat it. He worked at a office furniture plant and made cushions to cover the folded down seats, first big trip in it was to Florida. Loaded up my brothers and sister and we rode to Florida. My car seat was a Coca-Cola cooler between my dad and mom, My entertainment was naming all the brands of cars on the roads. Was family wheels until 1960 when my dad brought home a 1960 Chevy Impala convertible, 348 w the 3 speed automatic, Off white with bronze interior and bronze inset in the side stripe, crossed flags for the 348, What a lemon with the quadrajet carb and the hydro tranny that kept the thin in the shop. greg
