Looking forward to the mailman coming next week! I ordered mine on March 31 from Hobbyeasy in China and they should be here soon. Great service and with shipping the two kits were less than $60 each.

Just checked and mine is on it's way through customs and should be here in a couple more days!

If Revell tooled up a '67 or '68 Camaro, they could literally stretch the tooling out like they have done on the '69! Dana Yenko Baldwin-Motion Nickey Pace Car ('67) Convertibles Big Block Small Block L6 SS RS Z-28 Standard And I would probably buy at least one of each of them, along with many others!

I figure that there is probably close to half that cost in the plastic tubing if you were to scratch build your own, not to mention the time involved and having a jig to keep everything square. I think this is a perfect example where the 3D printing fits into our hobby.

Nice start and looking forward to seeing this done. I have a couple of friends with hugger orange 69 Camaros (Yenkos) and have always liked that color!

Very nice, black is one of those colors that can be hard to master but it looks like you have!

Thanks for the history lesson Tom, it's nice to know more about this hobby! Hopefully this run of kits that he is doing with Moebius will pay off for all involved!

Look under the section aftermarket directory for supplier links. There you will find all kinds of different companies that offer the variety of items you are looking for. Check out the trading sections, many times people have various parts and stuff up for trade. Many members here also offer resin cast items, look through the resin sections to see what is offered. If there is something specific you are in need of, post it in the appropriate section (truck or car) and see what responses you get. Follow along in the build sections, two weeks ago I picked up the remains of a die cast rollback that had been used for something else. I got something I wanted and so did the other person!

Looks awesome, enjoy the car and the press!

With Model King doing a partnership of sorts with Moebius on the soon to be released Ford pickups, maybe it is time for a new article for the magazine on the inner workings of Model King?

Some pictures were leaked that showed this series of kits with a 4wd set up. It hasn't been said when they will have the 4wd version out, but considering they already have it tooled up, I would say it will be months.

John, Straightening out a wiring loom is not as interesting as engine or body work to the cameras. Try to enjoy it and who knows, maybe you will be signing autographs at the NNL East in 2015!

I would consult with a lawyer so you can build a case against this guy. I had a similar situation about 10 years ago and found a great lawyer who had many suggestions. The jerk finally backed off when he found out I was building a case against him and got other neighbors to document the nonsense he was pulling on them as well. Video tape is very convincing when shown to the proper authorities. I would suggest a dusk to dawn security lamp that shines towards his house, preferably at his bedroom, so that the light interferes with his sleep (what's good for the goose is good for the gander!). You might also want to invest in a motion sensor activated sprinkler system so that when he gets close to your property he gets wet!

Why? There will be a 4WD version of this kit, eventually.

I think I remember some saying the engine and transmission are incorrect. Not sure which kit would yield the correct parts but I think that was the biggest issue with them.

I remember going to the Brat Stop and seeing bands in my younger years! Good food and lots of beer! Jim- order your Portillo's online!

John, Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad and in this case maybe as the "new guy" you can work in the background while others get their faces in front of the camera! If you are doing re-wire jobs and pulling radiators, that can't be as interesting as some of the other stuff. And if you do end up on camera, at least you are getting paid for it and not losing money like you would if you were still at the dealership!

Thank you Jim, and all of the other Vietnam Vets. I remember watching the evening news as a kid and getting updates on the war as we ate dinner. Many of my oldest brother and sister's friends served and made the ultimate sacrifice, others returned to a less-than-friendly environment, a real sad part of American history.

That would be awesome if they were. Maybe I should cash in some air miles and fly up??????

VCG resins is a great company, Craig is a forum member and I have had nothing but great, fast service from him. I can't speak for the others you mentioned other than some forum members here have said good things about them.

Is this DVD the same documentary that was playing on HBO last year? I did see something about them and it was a very interesting look at the band. Didn't realize how much feuding went on in that band but am glad they patched things up.

Very nice ! Like everything about it, need to get mine done!

I remember reading that a better chassis to use under these cars could be found in the AMT'69 Olds Cutlass as it was more detailed and actually fit better underneath it. A shame that one must use two kits to get one decent model but I guess it depends on who is building the kit and how accurate you want the finished model to be.

Kenny is most likely very busy getting wraps and decals ready for local racers and the start of racing season. Bandit Resins is a side business for him and sometimes the demands of it are more than he wants. I spoke with him at a show awhile back and between the graphics business and resin casting, it doesn't leave a lot of time for model building and enjoyment of the hobby.

Having moved from the area nearly 9 years ago, I can attest to issue of "missing" certain foods. I have discovered that getting them shipped here to Charlotte is a possibility and while it isn't cheap, it can be nice to have that Portillo's beef, a Vienna dog & sesame bun, Malnatti's pizza & Eli's Cheesecake! It is not the same as actually visiting those eateries, but can cure some homesickness.
