But be prepared to skin your knees a couple of times.

Coming back from town saw a trailered 48-50 Plymouth station wagon. Two tone paint green and gold. They were going in the opposite direction so didn't get a really good look. Found a picture from the auction:

You are making me want to get my '51 Convert back on the table. It is sectioned, would have been a piece of cake if I could cut straight. Anyway a thought for taillights, maybe use the custom units from the '57 Chevy truck fenders in the '53 Ford Pickup kit.

That is an excellent solution to a problem I experienced several months ago and will probably experience again in the future. Only issue I see is how do you keep from losing the pin, the spring, or for that matter the whole assembly. Anyway, thanks for the idea I will probably try to assemble a couple of them using brass.

Rummage through the Jewelry aisle of Hobby Lobby, they have quite a selection of different styles and sizes of wire and some tubing.

Just tried it again and everything worked as advertised. Of course, I used my laptop this time and not my normal desktop, maybe that could be part of the issue.

I have a pegboard wall above my workbench. When I built it I attached some 1'X1' wood strips to the wall so I would have clearance behind the pegboard for the hangers. Harbor Freight has a package with several different selections of hangers. I have my evergreen still in the packages hanging on the board along with different styles and colors of wire, resin parts, and many other items. My board is about a 4"X6" foot section.

Nice pictures, really like that gray Charger.

Still shows the Model Cars Magazine page. When I paste the above threads in the reply box, they do in fact turn to photos, but when I hit the submit button the Model Cars Magazine page appears. I also tried selecting "Choose folder", pasting the threads in that position, the pictures appeared in the boxes below my thread, yet when I hit submit got the same result.

There is a dragstrip in Troutman at Trax Hobbies.

Stopped back by WalMart yesterday and they had a "fresh" shipment of models. Had the Black Beauty, Chevelle El Camino camper, 69 Cuda, 55 Nomad, John Wick Chevelle, some of the snap-kits and Craftsman series Pontiacs, also the Mach Won Mustang FC. The Mustang followed me home.

Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. Very well done, thanks for sharing it.

I tried posting in this thread: First Model/ Hobby room that did not double as my childhood bedroom. - General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars) - Model Cars Magazine Forum Got the same as this one: Can't Respond To A Thread - How To Use This Board - Model Cars Magazine Forum Will try to post again. Just tried and had the same issue. 10:24 12/6/24 They post fine in this thread.

Really enjoy watching parts box builds. I have a couple in my display, both based on leftover AMT 40 Willys kits. (Just posted this picture to see if it would go through, having trouble with some other threads.)

Seems to be the same issue I am having in my post.

Have been trying to download some photos in a thread. When I hit submit a black screen appears with a large white square in the middle. In that square is the Model Car Magazine logo and below it these words: "Oops! That page can't be found. It looks like nothing was found at that location. Maybe try a search." A couple of places in the black borders it says "Debugging in Word Press". Can someone tell me what is happening?

Nice buggy. The color fits it very well. A little over three years ago, on my school bus route there was a Manx (or Manx lookalike) sitting out in a cow pasture. It had been there awhile. I almost asked about it, but I figured sitting out in the sun that long the fiberglass would be quite deteriorated.

Stopped by WalMart today, dropped by the toy department to see what might be left on their most recent model display. The models and the rack were gone. An associate was putting out some toys and I asked her if it had been moved. She checked her hand-held device and even checked in a back room. She told me they were all gone, but they should be getting another rack in sometime mid-week. Guess I'll be going back up there mid-week to see if anything transpires.

Here is my WIP 1980 Pinto. I do have the latest Pinto release kit and the 79/80 Pony Express kit, so I can do a front clip swap to make a model of this one. Right now, I am attempting to swap steering wheels for a Mustang II GT wheel I had in one of my parts cars, installing a radio/CD player, and getting the heating system reinstalled. It is a bit cold around here lately, right now it is 35 F with a 33 F wind chill. It got down to 27 F last night.

Some very interesting work on this rail. Really like the paint work, shows some creativity and imagination. I know it is a bit late now but did you by chance consider O-rings for front tires. They come in all sizes and they are rubber. Just a thought. Anyway, really like where this build is going.

An amazingly detailed build. It has been a while since I built a NASCAR kit. I noticed much of the tubing, especially the chassis and the rear roll bar are of square tubing rather than round. When did they switch?

Got my table reserved, so all you who are coming bring lots of money.

Chrysler has often been ahead of it time in styling vehicles, this is one of them. Just looking at this one, those headlights would look cool on a 49-51 Ford custom or maybe a 55-56 Chevy custom. They are just a bit different than the 55 Buick headlight units so many customizers used.

That is some mighty sweet box art. Maybe I need to do my 1:1 Pinto like that?🤔

Very original idea. That concept would work very well here in Lexington, NC (the BBQ capitol of the world - according to them). Just one crude comment, the power of a Hemi fits the pig theme very well. JK.
