  1. Does anyone have the National Lampoon's Boy's Life satire that had the spoof of 60's AMT ads or know a link? I always loved the 257 dollar Ford the record player paint method is unforgetable greg

  6. Had to go back and read all 11 pages, Very well done model, Just beautiful. Dryer lint just blew me away greg
  7. OMG! Didn't this hobby grow from Aluminum (AMT) promotional models and paint demos for dealers? Who paid back then? Don't try to clone "Barbie". Anyone interested in a Rolex? Let's just hope you don't have to register each time you use a trademark in writing.

  9. Got this from a friend, Plane crashed causing crack on starboard wing and the front tube taking a chunk out of the nose. Took a piece of mahogany and spliced it in and reshaped the nose, gotten this far with the putty on it, The base was also damaged and the was fixed with longer screws greg
  10. You forgot the best smile greg
  11. If I may throw my two cents in, I would put the chyrsler emblem in the lower grille and needs some round bumperettes greg
  12. Here is a thought, A fellow modeler that I know has this philosophy: Buy three, one to build, one to hoard and one to speculate. greg
  13. Chrysler workers years ago had a bumper sticker that said. "I buy what I build" with a little xacto art work I changed mine to "I build what I buy" and stuck it on one of my boxes I used for transporting good to toy shows. greg
  14. As always amazing, Did you ever think that he reversed the pictures of the rear end just to make you rework your model? greg
  15. I'm puzzled, not by the model but another little customizing trend, If you look at the side of the model the chrome door handle catches your eye. What ever happened to solenoid door openers especially with the new remote systems available today. Recently when I was selling some of my collection at a show I got hassled because I shaved the door handles off a lot of my 60's & 70's models I had. That was the trend back then and I think it would make any retro custom better Nice Riv, not a big wheel fan, Never rode in a car with big wheels and don't know how hard of a ride it would be but just reminds me of how hard a ride it was in my red wagon with solid tires when I was a kid. greg
  16. I have heard of freezing water in the tubing and bending it, another one was filling with sand. I use plastic rod in tubing to bend it greg
  17. Nice to see it again, People you do not have any idea what Charlie's models are like until you see them in person. He makes the Faberge Eggs of fire models. greg
  18. Here is my replica collection. The Chevelle is the Revell 67 but my mom had a 66 Malibu with Aztec bronze color. The Ramcharger was made out of the MPC pick up and the AMT blazer. The Z 28 is a combination of AMT and MPC Camaros to get the right pieces. The Jeep is MPC OOB with moons and antenna added Working on 66 Chevelle using clip from ElCamino, 1950 Olds fastback (dad's work car) greg
  19. Have been a pin vise user for years, Just got the MicroMart that has a spriral system that works super #60348 which is on sale now Learned my lesson very early with Dremel, How did you chick up a small drill bit in the Dremel?
  20. Tamiya clear green is useful for making the early tinited windshield with the green at the top only ( air brush ) I use Future on my windshield to give them a thinner appearance greg
  21. Thanks for the info Art, An interesting side bar was the sale of a GT 40 at Barrett and the ding bat announcer stated it has the 'bundle of snakes' exhaust which were on the DOHC not the regular V8s the tuned pipes did converge at collector boxes like The DOHC but they were not the bundle 'bundle' greg
  22. That was a mini pod that held what I recovered of my collection from a house fire five years ago greg
  23. Isn't it interesting that engines now have the same concepts for turbo and pollution regulations that the DOHC ford had greg
