Beautiful place, Rob!

Dennis, that is outstanding, as well. Caddy Mill is a great touch.

Rob, Nice Ride!

I hope they can fix the issue for you.

I'm in for a Black Max, when it finally appears. Other than that, the Trikes are kinda, "Meh".

The 340 is adequate, but no more than that.

Those 1950's Hot Rod prices are the last Gasp of the Original "Hot Rod Generation". They can still afford the nose-bleed prices. I would guess that the average age now for the fellow who lusts for a Cherry '55, is over 65 years. There may be a few younger fans, but they represent the tail of the bell-curve, IMHO. As the 70/80 year old OG guys pass, the number of people who want their street rod, and can AFFORD what they (or the family) are asking for the street rod, is going to shrink. I foresee a slow drift down in prices. AMBR Award winners and other foolishness, will be kept afloat by the Deep Pocket types who in habit the Top End of any hobby, but the more numerous "daily driver" rides, are eventually going to return to cheaper pricing. At last Years Hot Rod Reunion at Famoso Raceway, the Grey Beards out number the more youthful guys by about a 5 -1 ratio. And out a crowd of many hundreds, there were no more than 2 dozen or so under the age of 40 who owned anything. That is the 'tell'. Wanting one, and owning one, are very different things. I see some who want, few who own. The Fad of the Over 100K, Checkbook Hot Rod, is self-limiting.

Awesome! Great to see a 116 year old car modeled.

The Long, Long Trailer is one of my Favorite Movies! I'm glad someone else remembers it. My wife and I still Joke about "Trailer Brakes, First!!!"

What a Great Quarter-Pounder! I'll echo the comments about the Clean Assembly, and Super Smooth Finish. Excellent Build.

It was announced here in Bakersfield that Disneyland was closing doe to Corona-Chan. Not sure, why but that set off the panic here in town. We dipped into the savings last night and went out to take our chances. I don't spook easily, but I'm glad I went. TP, Soaps, Disinfectants, and of course Bottled Water (What the Everlasting, *****, is up with hoarding Bottled Water???). We went mostly because, if we didn't play the game, there would be nothing left later. It was a Mass Hysteria out there. But, we stocked up, on diapers for the Grandkids, canned goods, and a few of the rapidly vanishing Meds. (Nyquil, Seriously??). My family is set and hopefully we can avoid having to go out in the frenzy again. It was and odd, and un-settling feeling being out there jostling for stuff. On the other hand, not playing the game would mean possibly risking not being able the get what we needed later, due to the very nature of this kind of Mass Delusion. So, (this time at least) I bought into it, and joined the herd. I don't like doing that normally, as the Herd is only as smart as the dumbest member, and that is how you get hurt. But, I'll feel safer now, and I can watch over things with out feeling the need to join back in the panic. Be Prudent, but have an Idea on when to take action, and when to sit tight. This ride is only going to get stranger for the next couple months.

Stunning Build! I like colours, also.

Great Colour, Even better Wheels! Perfect Little Street Rod!

Wow! Looks Sharp in the Verde!

Looks nice, Brain. I'm planning on finally getting some bench time this weekend to work on my Stutz racer.

Dang, Pete. I'd LOVE to see them Falcon Codes.

Steve, I'll join the Club. I'm a Cheeseburger guy too. (and, Gary Larson saved my sanity in the 80's-90's)

That has to be one of the sharpest builds of that kit I've ever seen. Two Thumbs Up!

Good One, Snake! By the time I was stationed in Okinawa at Kadena AB in 1987, That "Meanest SOB in the Valley" was on T-Shirts, Door Hangers, and posters, all over SEA.

My Dad always says; "We'll Burn That Bridge, When We Get There!" Never have been able to correct him.......

I remember reading this thread at the Collector Model blog. That may be where I saw it. Thanks for posting this Casey

This is great news, Tim! I'm in for a couple, just because of the Supercharger.

Bad Dog! Do you want another Engine? I have a spare.

Sharp Build. I like the Colours. It looks authentic.

Thank You, Tim, for correcting my rusty memories. I wish that the Tractors would come back someday.
