Carl, I just came across this post and also wish to pass along my best wishes and prayers for strength to watch this unfold. I watched my 86 year old father pass from a three month long bout with kidney failure. Now I am watching my lovely wife of 38 years struggle with terminal bone and liver cancer. Life seems to be unfair, but when we consider what is to come, then the pain seems to be more bearable. GOD will get us through these ordeals.

You might try contacting Steve Kohler, he also has some good resin stuff. http://www.resinrealm.net/Star/STARModels.html

But 'FORD' is not on the stripe on the Magnifier box art. OOPS, late post without reading all the way through.

Very nice looking interior, well actually, very nice overall build. I was looking at those door panels and could not figure what the third handle on the front door was for, then it hit me -- roll-out vent windows. It's been a while since I sat in a car with those.

Excellent Bronco with that just right "Don't mess with me" attitude. Love it.

Sweet modified and I am sure there is some racing organization somewhere in this big old country that ran body styles very much like that one.

Not at the price they are going for and only drivetrain available is a I-4 10 speed. I'm afraid Ford screwed the pooch on this one.

Really like your Ranger. I have owned an 87 Supercab, a '94 Regular cab 4X4, and now have a 2010 Supercab Sport, all have been V-6 powered. Have loved every one of them. Thanks for sharing your build.

Got to agree with the others. This is one mighty fine build. Would love to have something like that in my driveway.

Excellent build and beautiful work with the paint. Those chassis pictures are pure art. Thanks for sharing.

Peg board and hooks keep my stuff "organized"

Looking good so far. Will be glad when you get it finished and move it to the finished forum.

Stopped in the local gas station the other day to fill up my ranger and this was just pulling away from the other side pump. BTW there was a Ford 350 pulling the trailer, guess he wanted to make sure to get it home.

Glad to hear of the improvement. Praying all goes well.

Evergreen does not show that on their website anymore. However Plastruct does still make it, although right now their website is under modification, but it is available through other sources.

Ouch!! Looks like some severe road rash on those.

Super work, especially that grille. But it needs about 500 pounds of mud and dirt on it, or at least some McD's fries on the floorboard; it is way too clean.

Very nice looking wagon. Subtle changes but still very eye-catching.

I think that is a requirement for all AMT/Round2 kits. That being aside, this one is looking really good. Would like to have one of those, but it would only add to the many I will never get built. Really need to start thinning down the inventory.

I got a 'few' sitting in the to finish pile. 61 Ford Custom bubbletop, 57 Chrysler 300 C custom, Escort Pro-Stock, '65 GTO AWB, Magnum SRT8 RPU and there are several others.

Haven't tried it in years but I used to use plain old masking tape pressed down firmly then pulled off. It removed most of the decal and after a couple applications all but the tiniest pieces in recesses and panel lines were removed.

Cool, clean custom.

This is probably only the second time I have logged on in ten days. My wife has been suffering with severe back pain for a couple of months. We finally got her an appointment with a neurosurgeon NEXT MONTH. This blasted virus has so disrupted every part of decent civilization. Anyway, Saturday the 13th she complained of being extremely cold (78 F outside) and was shaking uncontrollably. Thinking it may be coming from the back I called 911 and had her transported to a hospital (at least that is what their sign says, that is another story altogether). They did some CAT scans and discovered a severe infection of the kidney/bladder area. They also discovered some thickening of the adrenal gland and some malformation of the lymph nodes in that area. Long story short she has been diagnosed with cancer around the kidney. They also performed an endoscopy and discovered two ulcers. Right now we are waiting for results of a bone scan to see if there is any correlation between the cancer and her back pain. Once all that is done they will develop a treatment plan. The wife and I discussed it and our decision is to transfer her to another hospital, closer to home, less crowded, and I hope a better organized operational staff. So, not knowing what is coming down the road I will probably not be on as much as I would like. SHE is the most important part of my life right now and I am going to do everything I can to get her well - GOD willing.

Not really familiar with year models of the later Corvettes, but saw a red one gaining ground in my rearview, He was not excessively fast, just slowly inching up. So I moved over to the right lane. As it got closer I noticed something askew about the hood. When he cruised by I got a better look and there was a hole cut off center and the top portion of a large tube was visible for about a foot or more. As he passed I saw an emblem on the rear that said Z-06. Didn't have a camera so I just watched him slowly move on down the road out of sight.
