my name is nobody

wahoo. it's 48 degrees here!

first off, this is not me. I own pick up trucks, and have hauled out a few Elk in my life. I wouldnt try this on a bet:

This is a very nice build. clean. and an attractive color scheme. nice work.

beautiful work. I really like that Lindberg kit. is that thing from Pasadena?............. all you need is a little old lady.

thats a sharp looking '40

great color scheme. the yellow & black look awesome. the steel wheels and poverty caps are a nice touch.

beautiful, clean build.

I'm going to have to try this out. most nights it's darker than the inside of a cow out here in the sticks.

Welcome. this is a great site. with a bunch of very skilled modelers that post some unbelievable builds. Your models look terrific..................but that '70 R/T is really cool.

very nice, ultra clean build. Thats a beautiful Firebird.

Monogram Honda CBX: This model is still intact, complete in the box. I couldnt believe it when I found it 24 years ago. I want to build a replica of a Bike I once owned. I bought a 1980 Honda CBX. Brand New. with six cylinders, it couldnt turn very well, but in a straight line it was downright brutal. it had pure torque. one of the quicker motorcycles I have owned.

Yep. I read all the time. television just doesnt cut it anymore. I'm a history nut. so I read alot of non-fiction stuff. living in a rich historical area, theres lots to learn around here. "The weak ones turned back, the cowards never started". a century of ranching in Montana. By Linda Grosskopf & Nancy Morrison. an awesome book with some scary tales of survival. it really makes you admire the pioneers who settled this area. And the extremes that have to be endured to make a living in this country. Ranching is a tough business. "Keepin' the peace". early day justice on Colorados west slope By Judy Buffington Sammons. Growing up on the west slope of Colorado, I learned alot of these stories growing up. there are quite a few stories about one of my favorite western law officers, Doc Shores. a legend in his time, he was once the Sheriff of Gunnison County. great thread. I'm always curious about what folks are reading.

thats cool. I like tri five chevies. my first car was quite memorable, too.

My wife and I have a bunch of animals. dont want to hijack the thread with pictures of all of them. I do have a couple of really cool dogs though. Eva is 2 1/2 years old now. she is a terrific dog. a wicked guard dog, too: Yes. she is a pure german shepherd. smart as they come. I wanted to get her bred, but just couldnt seem to find her a boyfriend. there wasnt a german shepherd stud around here. So, we went and bought one. Otto is almost one now. his birthday is 1 April. the perfect April fool. a 140 pound fool, And about as great a dog as I have ever been around. We have lots of horses, barn cats, and endless wildlife around here. But these two are my favorites. easy to train, very intelligent. and extremely watchful of the place.

never heard of that paint. but I do know a little about Montana Gold.

interesting question. dont know how facebook would effect model forums. I know I started a facebook page for all my musclecar builds. really just to have a place for all my builds, I guess. it seems like when I post a build of mine on a forum I got zip to zero response or reply. So I now just assemble them on that site. not that anyone looks at them there, but if something were to happen like a disaster at my property then I have an album to show my insurance agent to prove they existed.

this is a great project. can hardly wait to see it finished. I would like to build my own Belly Tanker. sadly, all I have right now is the 315 gallon drop tank, sitting up in one of my barns. these things are so light, and easy to carry, I toted mine out into the sunlight to get a couple of pictures.

my story is quite simple...... I grew up in a rural setting. lots of cars and trucks around. my Pop had some nice cars, all-Ford stuff. And I was exposed to High Horsepower vehicles at an early age. My Mother had five brothers, who were all gear heads. And they would visit us often. Usually on leave from the military. During the sixties & early seventies, I saw a whole parade of cars that those guys purchased. mainly, Musclecars. some of my early memories as a kid were white knuckle rides in high horsepower machines. My hometown also had a small college. And a large number of people from out-of-state attended that school. maybe it was just the era, but they all seemed to show up with some interesting cars. An odd thing happened though.............Once these students would arrive with their vehicles, Almost every one of them would catch an odd bug. They wanted to Ski in a beautiful nearby ski area. Students would sell the cars that I assume Mom & Dad had bought them. And buy ski equipment and season passes to that ski area. So some really great iron passed through my town. The buyers were most often local kids, buying vehicles for the first time. I saw some amazing cars go through that town. I fondly remember a nice young guy driving up to my house in a 1970 Camaro. Red & White. Jacked up, Cragar rims and a L88 hood. This guy was out front waiting for my older sister, and I was looking this Camaro over. Looking at a badge on the front fender, I asked what "Motion" stood for. The guy was patient enough to show me some of the things that made that car memorable. And still remember my jaw dropping at the burnout he left out in front of the house. The seventies were awesome, as most of the used cars around town were musclecars, and it influenced me tremendously. From my first car to the cars I have now. It also influenced what modelcars I wanted to build. I feel lucky to have grown up in that town, in that era. Gunnison Colorado was a great place to be a kid. Western State College attracted alot of bright people with some nice cars And Crested Butte Colorado is still an awesome place to ski.

I just found this thread and ironically, I was listening to one of my favorite Beach Boys CD's. a few years ago we slapped together a little Flathead Mill. While it would have looked great in a '32..............it was built for a little '33 Ford - 3 window coupe. the names associated with this engine would leave most old time hot rodders slack jawed and stunned. were just a bunch of nobody's: Mercury Block, Navarro heads, Harmon- Collins Magneto, McCulloch supercharger..............

Looks Terrific. the flat black hood is really subtle. always like a sleeper.

Thats funny.............. most of my Tonka Trucks were sacrificed years ago, when my relatives returned from their tour's of SE Asia. They were kind enough to teach me how to daisy chain my M80 firecrackers together. most of my promos and model cars met the same fate.

I'll admit, it does get a little windy in Wyoming...... And at least you can visit the beach in california!..........

good luck. Wyoming is paradise compared to California.

Getting ready to move cows to summer pasture. just for the record, I'm the knucklehead in the saddle. The horse is "Jack".........a leopard spot appaloosa..........................

very nice. I always like tri-five chevies. seeing them built as a El Camino is pretty cool. nice work on that '56. my favorite year of all the tri-fives.
