Not sure that I have seen those around in resin but I would think you could cast them yourself rather easily. You could cast a bunch of them quickly and cheaply.

No fair posting 1:1 pictures and passing them off as models! That came out very nice and the details are outstanding. Keep em coming!

This would be a great one to have in resin and I hope you are able to bring it to market! Next up would be the pickup version of this body style. I saw an old IH pickup from this year range the other day in SC that was sitting along side an old gas station and I can only imagine the tales it holds!

Congrats on hitting the 8,000 mark and let's hope that translates into more input from knowledgeable sources. As for how many of the 8,000 are "active", I would say it is like most businesses where the 80/20 rule applies- 80% of the biz comes from 20% of the customers. Gregg, just for the heck of it, can you give us some insight as to how long it took for the forum to hit certain milestones? I know I was number 138 to register here years ago but what was the timeframe to get to 1,000? 2,000? etc.

Yet another tale of a great product done in by poor customer service. I have watched this play out several times over the years and it never is pretty. As Mark has stated, Nick lives close to Randy's shop and he has a better handle on what is going on. That being said, maybe a PM to Nick to see if he can get this resolved will do more than a nasty phone call or email. Like Chuck, I want to buy from Perry's but the risk is too great. If I were to spot the pieces I desire at a show or a hobby shop, I would be buying them up in no time. Like the others before them, this is another story of a great product/caster who has tarnished their name and industry with poor communication and service. I continue to buy resin from only a handful of companies that have demonstrated their ability to earn my business. I prefer to buy in person if possible as that is the best way to see the item before shelling out the cash.

Not yet, but someone was working on a Cummins resin engine. Your best bet would be to use an existing kit engine and modify it to a close replica of what you are after.

As someone who is dealing with elderly parents and their care, Matt has my sympathies. I was looking forward to this kit as it would have been nice to have to build. Hopefully his family situation gets resolved soon and he can get back to casting and selling his stuff. I have bought some Dencon product in the past and it was very nice so I would expect the same on this body/kit.

Nice to see a different color combination instead of the usual blues and reds. Keep posting your builds, it gives some of us the motivation to finish some of ours!

Looking great as usual Doc! I am guessing that if someone wanted to torture you, they would only have to force you to build a model box stock with shiny paint! Those bed sides don't look like they have been banged up enough, are you sure they are the original ones from 1950???????

Kinda like the little league games where no one keeps score so no one can be a "loser" or a "winner". Gregg mentioned that "common courtesy" and "common sense" should prevail but sometimes it doesn't and a war ensues. Trying to force people to use either one can be quite the task. I would think multiple topic posts on the same subject because someone locked theirs would only add to the problem of increased costs for Gregg to host this forum. Maybe this will be the beginning of a "toll road access" process for posting here?

Sean, VERRRY interested and would also like to know where that F Series came from! Let me know how to order and I will send you the money.

This should have been handled thru a PM and not here. Childish antics (whomever starts or feeds them) have no place here and that is how topics get locked or deleted. Nick- those center caps can be found in the new COPO kit and they are also available from The Modelhaus.

I have been waiting to see this one finished and you did not disappoint Hugh! Nice job on the conversion and the details are excellent.

Dave, the beauty of NHRA racing is that every ticket is a pit pass! They are the only series where you can stand feet away from the crew working on the car and witnessing them starting up a Top Fuel engine after rebuilding it! The earth shakes and the Nitro burns your eyes, nose and mouth but it is something you gotta do. 10 years ago I worked for a company that was in the Motorsports industry and they campaigned a Pro Stock ride and I was lucky to attend the US Nationals. The experience is etched into my memory as I remember watching John Force and Tony Pedregon leave the starting line and feeling my whole body shake from the nearly 15,000 HP. Hope you have fun Andy and be sure to take some GOOD ear protection. I would recommend that you stop by a gun shop and see what they have.

Looks like PR got it bad with massive rains and flooding. Power is out to most of the island but so far no mention of any deaths. The Weather Channel is predicting that this could end up in the Carolinas by this weekend, which isn't my idea of a fun time, the rain is always welcome. If there was any way to steer it to Texas to help those people out, I think it would be done. Hope everyone in the path of this store is safe and does not suffer any damage from it.

Well it definitely looks real Harry, not sure if I can figure out what it is!

Keep encouraging them to build and they will see the improvement in the quality of their builds. They did very well for their first time out and it is nice to see some kids interested in our hobby!

Some nice pictures there and how I wish I had made it to the show this year! Work and family got in the way (again!) and I was not able to make it to a great show. Thanks for sharing.

Watched today's episode and while I was glad to see some time spent on the models, I am not sure if we need another '32 Ford Roadster kit. Granted it will be a tie-in to the show and probably have something to do with next year's contest, but I have enough '32 kits to last me a lifetime. It would be nice to see something else kitted from that show that isn't as common- like the Copperhead Chevy Pickup, the V-8 Miata, any of the late model Jeeps he has done- something new!

I got it right but the telling sign for me is that the edges of the car seemed fuzzy to me, like the photo was "chopped" onto the background. It has been awhile but I spent 10 years in catalog/brochure production and I know that today's technology is more advanced than what I worked with back in the 90's. I do remember seeing photo's imposed on backgrounds in some of my past work and it was easy to catch but today I need to study it much closer in order to pick it out. It was tough Harry, glad you won!

Wish I could comment here other than to say that someday my issue will come! It is nice to hear the comments about what is in the mag, makes me run to the mailbox everyday hoping that it is here!

Nice setup there! Is the trailer a modified kit version or is it scratchbuilt like the Camaro chassis? Looks very realistic and great job on the details.

That is one long rig Chris! You should be able to fit most anything on that trailer, nice job on the scratchbuild.

I am with Mark on this one, I think that there has been some serious photochopping on this one- several things catch my eye- so I will stick with my original vote. Less than 36 hours to go to find out what the answer is!

If there is a specific car you may be able to find some information on it but a complete catalog.....I don't think so. Like Double D mentioned, there wasn't much on his website back in the day and with the way people cycled in and out of his shops over the years, there were literally tons of cars built there.
