Revell Ramcharger
Goose1957 replied to Husky1943's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking build. You did really well on the molded-in wiring in the engine bay. That always holds me up. Nice looking paint job and trim also. Jeff -
I know, I don't know if I am amazed or repulsed. I keep coming back to this thing and I'm just speechless. I find it fascinating and grotesque in the same breath. The craftsmanship looks good and the paint looks right, but I don't like the green windscreen and the rearward rake. The blown motor looks great, but not with the 59 rearend and (I guess) model A type grill. I.....I...... just don't know what to think. AAARRRGGGUUUUEEE! (walks away shaking head). Jeff

What did you see on the road today?
Goose1957 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Not sure if this belongs here or in the weird car thread, but I came across this thread first . Saw this yesterday while shopping. Kinda cool, mabey they should have done a factory job for the mini pickup crowd. Jeff -

72 Chevy Blazer K5 Kush
Goose1957 replied to Gerald Haney's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice Blazer. I like em high, but yours turned out great. Nice paintwork. Jeff -
Just picked mine up at Hobby Lobby. Can't wait. Just need to finish my Blazer project first, then, like Sam, need to do all my research on the subject. Need lots of pics. I'm stoked! Jeff

Thanks for sharing the photos. As a HUGE fan of the show and a modeler, you're right, I'll be able to work around it. But I agree, molded in white would have been much better. Probably the next release will be molded in white, unless it's a fire chief's car or another Coke release, lol. Yea, I did think it looked like an MPC kit, now that you mentioned it. I wish the underside of the trunk would have been scribbled better so I can cut it open easier. Oh well, I'm just super glad it's hear at all. Been waiting a long time for this model kit. Jeff

That's pretty cool. Like the cowl induction, or is it the original air grabber scoop. Pretty neat to watch. Thanks for sharing. Jeff

Not sure about changing tires, but that front tire looks pretty close to the fender. What kind of turning radius does that thing have.? Jeff

History of Monogram's Squarebody GM Pickups
Goose1957 replied to Fabrux's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Hmmm, I'll have to dig my Hammerhead model out that I built in college. I swear it has a Chevy grill on it and I built the kit box stock, except for the decals. I think I even left it in bare plastic as it was molded in blue metallic plastic. I'll dig around for it and post pics if I find it. Jeff -
I'm in. I'm planning on doing the trunk, it's an integral part of the show. I've been saving up all the weapons from some of the gangster series of kits when I come across them at shows. Gotta have the Winchester's arsenal. Now, where am I gonna find a vial of holy oil. Hmmmm....... Jeff

Thank you for bringing the topic back, even if you need to delete some of the comments that were throwing it off track. Jeff

Engine display trailer
Goose1957 replied to landman's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That turned out really nice. I was following your build thread and wasn't sure how it was going to look, but I think it finished great. Reminds me of a guy who used to bring a trailer full of working engines to the NSRA streetrod show in York, PA every year. Think his name was Al's Toybox or something like that. He had running engines he would fire up to advertise his engine building business. Mabey you could do the same, lol. Show up at model shows and sell your wares. I know a lot of people would want to buy your nice work. Great job on the trailer, keep em coming. Jeff -
'51 Jeep
Goose1957 replied to Mahogany Rush's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks for the info. They look pretty good, I'll have to look them up. Jeff -
I'm in for at least 2. But mine's going to be Dean's baby, in all it's glory. Guess I'm gonna have to open the trunk though. It's a main part of the show. Jeff

Border Patrol Ramcharger
Goose1957 replied to Mahogany Rush's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That came out very nice. My cousin is retired from the Florida game commission and he used Ramchargers for many years. He always had some great stories about them. Tough trucks they were. Thanks for sharing yours. Jeff -
'51 Jeep
Goose1957 replied to Mahogany Rush's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking Jeep. What wheels and tires are those? They fit well and look good. The v-6 can be found in the Jeep Commando kit. PM me if you want to add one. That's a really nice tribute to your father. Jeff -
R.I.P. Jerry. A great comedian and actor. Gave us all a new holiday, a new support garment for portly, elderly men, and many other laughs along the way. He will be missed. I wonder if he said to his physician, "Million to one shot, doc, million to one!" Jeff

Great looking truck Cruz. Stance looks just right. The tool box looks great too. Jeff -
Can't wait for the Supernatural Impala, course all my LGS's are still closed. I would rather buy local, then order online, but this might change it if the govt. doesn't open up the state soon. I'm a super fan of Supernatural and have been waaaaaiiiiiiittttiiinnnggg for a 4 door 67 Impala to be made. I might also pick up the Ranchero for the Coke bonus parts. Some cool kits this month. Jeff

Time for LUVin'! Retro Street Truck (OOB)
Goose1957 replied to Faust's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Yeah, I knew the differences in scale, I wasn't sure how big the engine bay is in the Luv. I know it would look smaller, maybe add a turbo setup to fill some of the empty space, lol. I just thought it would be an alternative for someone building one. I may have to get one and put one of my resin Cummins engines in my stash in it just to roll some coal, lol. Maybe cut it down to a BT-4 4 cylinder. Jeff -
Time for LUVin'! Retro Street Truck (OOB)
Goose1957 replied to Faust's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Would the v-6 from the Jeep Commando work? It is, after all, a Buick engine before they sold it, then bought it back again. I think that would look good in the Chevy Luv. Jeff
