That Travelall and a similar D series pickup would be most welcome.

Not surprised. I placed my order within a couple of hours of him posting this on his website and he told me it was going to be three weeks minimum before he was going to ship. Good thing is he communicates with his customers and his product never disappoints.

Or at least a second opinion, in a different town. Glad you are home and recovering. As far as not getting answers, they do call it practicing medicine for a reason.

Postmodernism comes to SEMA
mikemodeler replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Didn't make it over to the SEMA side this year but heard that the builds are getting more extreme as Bill stated. Not surprised someone had the idea to use a burnt out supercar and spend WAY less money, but as others have said, those wheels DIDN'T improve the look. To each his own. -
Modelhaus End Of Business Sale
mikemodeler replied to Againmikewins's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Dear Modelhaus Customers, The website remains open. The website was not used originally to control inventory and when we expected it to do so when the site opened on Aug. 25, there were issues the site could not handle. Most specifically it could not handle the "feeding frenzy" that took place on Aug. 25. On Aug. 25th alone, there were over 1300 orders that were attempted. Even though an attempted order could not be completed (most were not completed), the parts listed in those orders were removed from the inventory. As a result, when all the orders were finally shipped, we realized many parts that were listed as out of stock were actually not out of stock. The inventory has been updated and is accurate at the time this e-mail is sent. Only those parts that are available at this time are listed. We are hoping some of your "wants" can still be fulfilled. We are also hoping that since this e-mail does not list an "opening" time, there will not be a rush all at one time. We will work to keep the site up to date by removing those items that reach the out of stock status. Some hints follow: There are many bumpers, promo wheels, and hubcaps remaining. Other categories have only a few parts listed. Many entries have only one part remaining. If an item is listed, only put one in your shopping cart. If you need more that one, you can attempt to change the quantity in the shopping cart. Check the shopping cart for messages about availability after each item is put there. Those messages are at the top of the page in reddish brown printing. Modelhaus tires are now available at www.modelhaustires.com. Cordially, Don and Carol Holthaus -
Finding out that The Modelhaus website was open and taking orders today, got a few more pieces for the stash. Also was glad to leave the rainy and cold Carolinas to get to the rainy and warm beaches in South Florida.

Modelhaus End Of Business Sale
mikemodeler replied to Againmikewins's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I was able to pick a bunch of stuff and entered my billing and shipping address but could not "proceed" to paying for my order. Waited a few minutes and was able to pay, although not everything or the quantity selected was available. Should arrive in time for Christmas. -
The continual phone calls from the scammers who pretend to be from "The Microsoft Computer Department", trying to get me to fall for their scam. I have used air horns, whistles, loud screaming and other loud noises and they keep calling back! Now I have started asking them questions about religion and politics!

That is coming along nicely! Sure wish those were readily available! -
1967 elcamino
mikemodeler replied to tbill's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looks good from where I am sitting! Where did you make the cut? Surprised no one ever kitted one of these, or a wagon. I guess because there is very little difference between 66 & 67? -

Modelhaus End Of Business Sale
mikemodeler replied to Againmikewins's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Let's face it, we are all disappointed that The Modelhaus is no longer and that someone didn't continue the company, but to berate Don and Carol for wanting to retire and moaning about it in a hobby magazine is pretty low. Not sure what they were thinking over at SA for publishing the letter, but I think we should all fill up their inbox with letters complaining about Francis and SA. -
70's Dodge truck sweptside short box?
mikemodeler replied to brodie_83's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Rusty- how can one order from you? What does that bed include? Tailgate? Taillights? Price? I have a MPC Little Red Express that I would love to put this bed on! -
Thanks for sharing, couldn't make it due to work schedule. A lot of nice models there Len, great pictures.

If only! Back and forth from east coast to west coast twice in 14 days, having to be on Pacific time for 5 days each time, working 12 hour days. Eat and sleep schedule out of whack, immune system down. Add in the time change and crazy weather (dry warm air out west, humid cool air in NC) and it's a wonder I know my name!

Criss- crossing the country last week, adapting to a 3 hour time change only to come home in time to "fall back" an hour! Add in a nasty head cold and my body is all discombobulated!

Happy Birthday Harry Pristovnik
mikemodeler replied to Terry Sumner's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Happy Birthday Harry, may all your builds be perfect and with mirrors! I have yet to delete the last message I got from him, about 6 weeks before he passed. Reading it gives me chills as you can hear him accepting his fate, yet remaining hopeful for a cure. His contributions here and to the magazine were immense and his passing has left a huge void in our community. -
Truck accident last night in Arizona
mikemodeler replied to DrKerry's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Wow! I imagine a change of underwear was needed, I know I would need to! Glad to hear he is safe, imagine that will be a story to tell now that everyone is okay. -
Moebius 66 Ford F100 Pickup preview
mikemodeler replied to SteveG's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
The F250 would have been a long bed. I believe the trucks would have been solid axle with leaf springs regardless if it was 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton. -

I will be picking up one or two of these for sure! Nice job Steve, looks like they have improved a few things from the bumpside trucks. -

Scenes Unlimited has the wheels you are looking for, along with some tires that might be period correct. -
