  1. Great Job on the Wrecker! The Blue / White paint is perfect. Good Show.
  2. Awesome Build, Chuck! Your backstories really add sparkle to your builds! Good Show.
  3. Very Sharp Build! I really like it in Orange. The Dump Bed makes a nice change from the standard pickup. Good Show.
  4. Is GW Trucks still in Business? I want to try to order some Heavy Duty Drive Tires from him. Thanks, Alan
  5. Looks like AA batteries. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1961-1970/amt-64-ford-galaxie/?view=roll#1
  6. So, Mark, how goes this build? I just bought this kit at HL, 40% off, and I am ready to start cutting and gluing. There are not many build threads that I can find for this kit. Thanks, Alan
  7. And Yesterday, I bought this kit. So much for what I said in 2017! BTW I did buy the '75 Datsun Li'l Hustler kit back in 2017, as well.
  8. I started cleaning my garage last weekend. I was able to finally 'get' to my workbench. I moved all the clutter away from it, and can finally see what is there. As I was cleaning up to the bench I discovered things that I had lost, or totally forgotten that I had bought. Found a Harbor Freight 'Chicago Electric' brand Dremel tool. Brand new, never even been pulled out of the case. I don't know when I bought it. I have no memory of the purchase..... Found Sets of grinding and sanding Bit for the tool. Sealed Boxes. Again, no memory of buying them. Found 3 started car kits, and one Johan 1960 Plymouth wagon kit, that has never been started. Bought it 5 years ago, always knew where was, but could not get to it. The orther 3 kits? I remember them, but it has been so long since I started them that I have forgotten how I was planning to build them. Found 2 boxes of 1/35 scale Armour Kits. Italeri. I did not even know I had these. Like Christmas. New Kits! All in all, this Garage Archeology is fun, and sad at the same time.
  9. I had a Serious Case of "What the He**" yesterday, and blew some early birthday money at Hooby Looby. I should not have done so. But, it has not been a great month so I engaged in some Retail Therapy. Got 4 kits. All from Round2. 1. Dodge 'Country Charger' --aka the "Dukes of Hazzard" kit in Mufti. 2. 1960 Ford Pickup & Trailer. (My second one of these) 3. 1932 Ford Sedan Delivery--the old MPC kit with the Coke decals. and, Last but not Least.. 4. Kenworth Alaskan Hauler. The only one of the 4 kits, that I have never owned. I can't wait to tear into this kit and Grok the parts. Now, I just need a trailer to go with it. I think it has been over Ten Years since I bought more than one kit at a time.
  10. I am alive, and still able to enjoy the many Blessings I have. I don't spend enough effort just being Thankful for My Life.
  11. Yes it is. I'll be getting one soon.
  12. The S-10 Xtreme Wheels might look pretty good on the Elky!
  13. That bed is unique to the Camper Special. It is very difficult to convert it into a 'regular' 8' bed. Best bet is to scrounge a bed from a Moebuis Longbed truck, IMHO.
  14. A nice selection of kits this month, but only the Elky interests me. I'm sure all will find good homes. Better Luck next month, I guess.
  15. Laser Sharp Build. Your clean finish, thoughtful detailing and Tu-Tone paint really make an outstanding pair. Good Show.
  16. Outstanding Build, and a great Tribute to the Guys who drove the Guntrucks!
  17. I hear you , Steve. Just my thoughts on the subject. There may not be much you can do. I really feel for you. Here is a photo of the Official Kern County Dog! The Meth Lab!
  18. It has a Nifty Blower for the Big Block, too. So this is an Custom Version, and the Soap Box Derby version is all stock. Guido, I agree with you about the wheels. They're not bad really, but have absolutely no Pizzazz! They are the worst possible thing a Mag Wheel can be.. Boring. I wish Round2 had thrown in a set of those ubiquitous 5 spokes that they always used as an option in other kits.
  19. Once Again, HPI Guy has it. It looks great so far, I want one.
  20. I'm looking for accessories for my Revell Rubicon Kit. So far the only Upgrade part I have found is this Bumper Set from Iceman Collections. https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/jeep-classic-tube-winch-bumper?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=6dbf3f837&pr_rec_pid=7722202529986&pr_ref_pid=7721162440898&pr_seq=uniform It Looks Great, and I'll be ordering one soon, but are there any other Resin casters doing parts for this kit? I am happy with the Stock Wheel/Tire package, but I'm wanting other Light Bar, Roof Rack, and Other Misc. parts. Is there anything else out there? Thanks, Alan
  21. Awesome Truck. You did a great job on the details. Good Show.
  22. Boy, those ICM Fords sure build up nicely. Yours is sharp and clean. Good Show.
  23. Great Bronco. I like it in that shade of Blue. Good Show.
