Good looking Willys pickup. Can't go wrong with a FOMOCO mill, especially a SOHC.

Just browsing and came across this comment. I seem to remember a kit I had many years ago that had the heads and block molded together, maybe that is what they had in mind.

I was also thinking 'pet rock' than another rather useless emotional item crossed my mind, the 'mood ring'. I may be stepping on some toes here, but another phenomenon that has taken over the country is 'service dogs'. I do realize the good they accomplish for the people who need them. My beef is with all these war-painted soccer moms who can't stand being away from "fifi" long enough to buy groceries and have to bring their dog into the store with them.

Just completed a great trade with Zenon Maciag "Zen". Will trade with him anytime.

Yep, exactly like that one. Love that body style, especially the split-window '63.

Excellent build and very plausible from the mind of a local Handyman who needs a pickup.

Its back in the box for right now but will be put on a lengthened 4X4 chassis from the Lindberg late model Ford kit.

Now this is something I would like to find parked in a barn somewhere with a "For Sale" sign on it. Excellent weathering. Looking through your selection of 'reading material' it appears this may belong to a college student or maybe a high school kid, just wondering where the 'Playboy' is.

Good looking Vette, but IMHO no match for the original '63-'67 Stingrays.

Raided my local WalMart's model display a week or so ago. Since this picture was made, went back and got the 66 Mustang GT and the 69 Galaxie kit.

With Brittany stepping away from Top Fuel and John Force retiring it is going to be strange not having a Force on the dragstrip. Hope Prock can pull off the championship. Anyone heard of who may be filling Brittany's seat in the fueler?

Our local elementary school, West Yadkin Elementary, hosted a Veterans Appreciation Breakfast. Following the breakfast, we toured the school, and the kids gave us items they had made thanking the veterans. What made this so special is that I was in the last graduating class of West Yadkin High School, before the county schools consolidated into two high schools. Most of the older buildings have been replaced with more modern classrooms, but there are still some of the older buildings in use. A lot of good memories.

Going to be one fine looking Nova.

Not trying to put words in Stitchdup's mouth. But, if you glue the trim into those indents to fill them, then just a skin of filler and some sanding and they will be gone.

Very nice build, clean and looks the part.

As the others have said this is one righteous build. Brings out all the best qualities of the 1:1. Back in my USAF days a good friend owned one of these. He came by the dorm one night wanting to borrow my Datsun pickup. I had a shell on the back and had built a bed in it; he had a hot date. When he got back he came by the room and asked where I had moved his Judge. Told him I had not left the room all night. About a month later the body shell was found on a back dirt-road two counties over, completely stripped. It was offered back to him by the sheriff's department for $180 tow fee and $150 storage fee, he told them to keep it.

One of my favorite "55 Chevy stock cars> The great Jack Ingram.

So they can keep the insurance companies, body shops, junkyards, and tow companies in business.

Went by WalMart for a completely different reason today, but somehow the '66 Mustang GT, the only one left, jumped into my shopping cart as I walked by. So now, that makes it an even dozen.

Beautiful paint job on a rather unique racer.

Someone please help me, my plastiholism (not mocking alcoholism) it out of hand. I have been going to shows and swap meets trying to downsize my stash, instead I have bought 11 kits over this past 7 days. Got these at a toy show last Saturday. Picked these up at Ollies on Tueday. Got these at WalMart on Thursday. Picked this up at Hobby Lobby Friday. I've never seen these paints before but thought I would get them and give them a try. Ok, I've got this off my chest, maybe I'll be able to continue on with no more downfalls.

I guess what's fair is fair. After all we now have a 4-door Charger and a 4-door Mustang, so why not a 4-door Camaro. What really boggles me is that the younger people turned up their noses against station wagons, back in the day (I hate using that phrase) but now they fall all over themselves for a SUV. Which is nothing more than a shorter station wagon on a slightly raised platform. Two or three seats with a storage area behind the rear under the lift up back panel sure sounds like a station wagon to me.

Sounds like they may have been talking with the folks in Gatlinburg. These towns that have family tourism as their mainstay of income do not really want a lot of disruption.
