On it's way

Just PM a mailing address and I'll send it your way.

Are you needing the decal for the piece on top of the clear bed cap? If so I have one.

The only kits were Palmer!

Up to -7 here with a windchill in the high -20's!

Don't forget to bring in your brass monkeys tonight!!!

I've been every where man!LOL Currently in a one horse town called Herscher in Illinois.

Had to drive 20 miles of horrible road conditions so the wife could get followup blood work. It was evident the girl at the desk of the outpatient center didn't want to be there and it took a lot not to tell her off. Get home and a few hours later results come in and we discover that when she put it in she left off the most important test and they didn't do it! Called the hospital only to be told the outpatient center closed early because of bad weather. We will now have to get it done tuesday morning after she gets out of the sleep study clinic. She was scheduled to get more blood work on that day. We also found that they didn'y honor the request to send the results to our primary care doctor. I asked that it be done on the phone but they said she has to be there to sign consent again.

Actually was Tuesday the wife was let out of the hospital! She suffers a type of heart failure and it snuck up on us. Her COPD had been getting worse but they weren't sure of the cause and that doctor referred her to the cardiologist who looked at her tests and said they say no changes. Our old Primary doctor kept telling her to lose weight that yhat was the problem but she was barely eating and gaining weight. The new Primary we have sent her to the ER laast Friday because she was swelled up like a balloon around her middle but hardly anything in her legs hands or feet. They put her in and found she now had fluid in her lungs and what the family doctor and others thought was just fat was water weight! 3 days in the hospital on IV diaretics and she put out over 25 pounds worth of fluids! She walks all over now without getting short of breath where before just getting out of a chair would make her breath hard! It just came on so slow over the past year that no one really noticed! Did med changes and sending out home care for physical therapy and dietary training (no more salt!!) plus having her come regularly to a heart failure clinic from now on.

Between losing the race car drivers of my day and the musicians of my day I'm really starting to to think that I just may not be immortal!

Guys like him are what made Nascar great! When it comes to tough, todays drivers can't hold a candle to them!

Got to meet him back in the 60's at US 30. He was a really cool guy .

Didn't always agree with their politics but loved their brand of humor! Especially when they lambasted the censors. They were even better outside the show!

As I try and ease myself out of the hobby my oldest son just keeps me in it. This was Christmas this year.

I hated driving anywhere on the upper east coast!

Yes, Jerry makes great truck decals.

I saw in FB he said he will be shutting down sometime in 2024.

Really nice looking build! I still have my original kit I built long ago, painted blue the chrome is almost gone and one rear tire half split in a spot.

Built a few years ago. Not sure if this was posted here before, looked but couldn't find it if it was. The white is pearl don't remember the name of the metallic red. It was a model master color.

Throw some in a pan with water and boil it!

Just mailed Christmas presents to our 1st great grandson (2 more greats on the way) and the USPS shipping was twice the cost of the gift! For about 15 more dollars could have delivered them my self round trip! Can't sell models anymore because of shipping costs no one wants to pay what they are worth!

That does bring back fond memories! I can't remember how many issues I had at my grandma's in my old room along with hundreds of old cars magazines from the 50's and 60's when I got married and moved out. My sister took over the whole upstairs and cleaned it out and tossed them all in grandpa's burning barrel.

Older build pulled out of storage. Had a lot of loose parts to reattach but found everything but the side mirror. One of the first models I ever used bare metal foil on.

Don't remember just how long ago this was built. Box stock build.
