Yea, that stuff an be huffed too, basically cut off the oxygen supply to the brain causing that high effect.

That could have been her attempt to be funny, or the store could have had a card everybody rule. I used to work for a drug store chain called Osco Drug and by Y2K, they had enough problems getting caught selling alcohal and cigs to minors working for the cops that they made the cashiers card everybody, didn't matter if they actually looked to young or were obviously well beyond 18/21 years of age, they would even refuse to sell smokes to somebody buying for their own kid who was of age but didn't have an ID with them to buy their own. Last year or so I had been at TRU, Nintendo releasted a N64 game called "Conker's Bad Fur Day" and that was so bad that that if we did sell a copy to a minor, we lost oyr jobs on the spot!

Yup, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was somebody who'd been putting up with consumer nonsense all day and K-Mart and/or the local government could have some serious punishment in place for those that do. Would you risk your job and/or a nasty ticket by selling to a kid buying paint? This isn't exactly the economy to have either happen in, especially some who probably doesn't make much more that minimum wage.

I've still got an A-Team kit that has't really been started, when mine comes in, I'll take pics of both side by side.

As somebody who's been in retail for nearly two decades, that's easier said than done, especially at this time of year. This was a big box store and he likely delt with people ranging from reasonable and friendly to ones who were all but out for blood in their Christmas shopping, and had been dealing with them for a couple months straight. I worked for a local Toy's "R"Us for 5 years and after that first Christmas, I worked overnights for the last 4 Christmas' I worked there.

Didn't know you couldn't get that in Chicago Ron, I know down in Aurora that if you find a store that actually carries spraypaint, it's locked up and you need an employee to get it for you! IIRC, it's been like that for at least a decade now..............

I'd imagine that your local LHS' tend to know most of their paints were going for modeling purposes. After all, would you pay $5.50-$7.00 a can for the little cans of hobby paint when you can go to a big box store and buy a huge can for no more money and have that much more to get high from?

Depends oh you area, some places have laws limiting the age of who buys spray paints in case they will use it to get high or for graffity purposes, same with some glues, cements, and other solvents.

Ok, thanks then.

Which custom front end? The original Vantasy had a forward leaning "grill" as well as the stock grill/bumper piece. Speaking o which, what A-Team van parts remain besides the wing?

I've got one too, but it was built as a clunker being brought back from the brink.

I don't know if you guts will need to join the forum to see these, but apparently there was a slip up and a few pics were available a bit early.......ooooops http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=348621

Hmmmmm......is there a company that makes 1/25 Sherman tank motors?

Wonder what an all chrome Pacer would look like............................ The more I think of it, probably like this http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/21864/photos/PHOTO_6729198_21864_18307701_ap.jpg

I grew up with those (my folks bought a '78 and an '87 Beauville new and just scrapped the '87 back in '08) and I always thought that the AMT's looked about right. I showed that picture to my Dad and he didn't think the Revell kit looked all that right either, but all the custom goodies might help hide what doesn't look right. They were pretty rounded, especially in comparison to the Ecnolines l, the flat nose vans that came before and body on frame onesnthat have come since.

I ordered mine through the HobbyTown I work for, looks like I'll be third in line for one as two other cuustomers put orders in for them.

Am I imagining things, or does the lines on the AMT van look far better than the Revell kit?

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder" Huh!

We had that happen with a can of spray chain saw lube............that was a mess!

That's not good, but at least they all got out ok! Last time I went to the Museum of Science and Industry I got to talk to one of the guys that maintains their layout and found out that they used a ton of Woodland Scenics products in the construction and maintenence of that layout. Sudenly I'm beginning to wonder if we're going to have a run on their product at work, I hope Walthers, Great Planes, and Horizon are well stocked!

With any luck it will come with the steelies and dog dishes, 5 spoke wheels like the box art and the A-Team turbines! With the exception of leaving out Mr. T and cleaning up the body tool, they could just do a straight parts or parts reissue of the A-Team van with that this kit's decal sheet and I would be happy. It would be nice to see this kit come back with all of the optional parts they offered over the years in one big box and an expanded decal sheet

Only if it will run that far without catching fire Virge

I have to agree, in factnit looks fine as it is and it almost looks as though it's RWD! I know most of you don't line the Chevelle name, would you be complaining if it were called Nova? Seems like it might be a good vehicle to revive the Z-24 badge with

Looks like I'll have to special order my Gremlin, already have two customers in line for one ! Figure I might as well do the same for the two van kits while I'm at it then too......

Don't know about Supervan, but I do know that BFG's Future Shock G-Van is getting restored up there. http://s792.photobucket.com/albums/yy206/khopcraft/Future%20Shock/?src=wap
