Nice tribute build. I like the orange as well!

Nice Chevelle Jim, that looks great! I am also sending wishes for a fast cure for your vision problems, I can only imagine how difficult daily life must be with double vision.

Another well detailed, cleanly built model from you Tyrone! You nail it every time!

something tells me we will have a flat hood for this kit soon. A set of wire wheel hubcaps wouldn't be a bad idea either. I already have some ideas floating around in my head for multiple versions.

That's the second best news I have heard all week ( the first was "You're Hired" !) I will be placing an order Danny and I know I won't be the only one so you better make a bunch of them!

Thanks! I will begin the cleanup promptly!

After a slight detour courtesy of the USPS, just completed a trade with Jordan White. We have traded before and he is a great trader.

Before the software update last year, I was able to delete old PMs in my inbox easily. Today I was in there and tried to figure out how to delete some and could not do it. I am sure there is an easy way to do it but darned if I can figure it out! Anyone know how to delete PMs? I am getting close to full and don't want to clog up the forum server with old meaningless messages! TIA.

That's a smoking deal, better than anywhere else I have seen it!

Any updates on these tires? Interested in what sizes will be available as I see them possibly on several different builds. Hurry up and take my money Danny! LOL!

Incredible scratchbuilding, watching this one!

Seems like the flood damaged cars would be the easiest to fix, albeit a complete teardown and rebuild. I would think much could be salvaged from those cars. I have a friend who has a 71 Corvette that he bought back from the insurance company when his house had a minor fire in the garage. He took the car to D&M Corvette in Downers Grove IL and they restored the car back to it's former glory and he was able to get a few other things fixed in the process. Looking at some of those cars and knowing what they can go for, I doubt they end up in the junk pile, I am sure there is a person out there who is willing to rebuild them.

Here I thought I was alone with this issue!

Ordered mine this morning from Tower Hobbies, they estimate I will have it by next Tuesday. Added a can of spray paint to get the order total over $25 and I got free shipping! Total order was under $30 for kit and paint, a better bargain than that eBay!

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered mine. Spent enough money to get free shipping! Update- Ordered before noon on a Thursday and received notification overnight that I should receive my order on Monday. Pretty darn fast service from central Illinois to Charlotte if I say so myself!

If that Datsun Monster truck is indeed the flip front end, then I will pass. I would LOVE to see that 1975 kit get re-issued, built that years ago and would appreciate having another chance to build a couple of them.

very nice and well detailed. the paint is a nice change of pace and overall the model is spot on!

Emma Samms, one of the reasons I watched that show as a teenager! Hubba Hubba! She replaced Pamela Sue Martin, can't remember how they explained the accent.

Harry, I doubt anyone on here would disagree with your statement; however, there are enough attorneys out there that will argue otherwise. And, unfortunately, the railroads will settle with the families instead of fighting it in court, despite probably finding at least one sensible juror who shares your sentiment. For the same reason McDonalds had to put warning labels on their coffee cups, you can't assume EVERYONE has common sense!

Jeff Spicoli?

Went back to the one in Matthews NC today. They had expanded to 2 aisle end cap displays and one was mostly Lindberg models, with a TON of F150s and a few Color Me Gones. The rest of the Lindberg kits were space and airplane, IIRC. The other end cap had a bunch of Revell SSRs and Monogram Corvettes and Trans Ams. Didn't see anything I could use for parts or wanted to build so I went out empty handed.

I was at the B&N in South Charlotte today and picked up issue # 200, they had 2 on the shelf. Nice to see it available in a book store as the only hobby shop left around is a 30 minute one way drive. I'll probably subscribe again now that I have a job. Nice issue by the way, loved the article on the Plymouths and the Ford F350.

And you haven't even factored in the show in Simpsonville SC next month! LOL! I'm in for one of the Datsun trucks. Not sure what it is about the mini-trucks but they have been showing up in my stash lately!

A set of white or gray rally stripes would really break up that solid black paint. If you could find a set of houndstooth decals for the seats that would help too. Paint looks shiny, should be even better after polishing!

That last shot with the monster motor looks great! What happened to the tailgate, did a tree fall on it?
