Gotta go with Model on this one too, the lettering on the chrome and plate doesn't look right to me.

Ohhhhh, great idea I love it!

Looks like it belongs on a "Trucks Gone Wild" video and reminds me of the bodies I did up for my Wheely King

IIRC hte exhause is actually Chrome, I'll bet they look black because of reflections off the fenders.

Alright guys, I've just started a new eModelCars account under the name BJoeHandley and will be starting a handful of auctions before I go to bed tonight! BTW, I'm going to put a $5 shipping charge on them and starting them out priced low

Thanks again guys, I may also take pictures to go along with the list so you guys know what's in the boxes too. I'll probably start with what I have at home first. When I get that done, I'll post in the sales forum, but I need to warn you guys, I don't have a PayPal account. Before I forget, what does it normally cost to snail mail model kits in singles and multiples?

Looks good, but are missing the rear driveshaft?

Here's a taste of what I have left in storage, not including what's at home I'm thinking I want to get rid of as much as possible except the 1/8 scale Revell, 1/12 Revell, and 1/16 AMT/MPC kits that I have. I don't as of yet have a list made up and my last one was lost to a hard drive crash some years ago on another computer. Next chance I get, I'll go make another. Thanks for the advice guys

I'm seriously thinking about selling off as many of my incomplete, started, and un built models that I can for space constraints (storage area fees are getting too expensive). Do model clubs let non-members bring in their kits to get see if any of the club members are interested in buying them?

I'm digging it! IIRC those tires are off a snap together that AMT/ERTL sold for a while.

Looks good without the boy racer junk on it!

Anybody else remember seeing that picture in Hot Rod Magazine after that car was restored years ago?

I love it, especially since you narrowed the bed. I'm digging the duallys, but why not dual, white walled Cheater slicks while you're at it!

Real, with out a doubt!

I remember reading an article about a decade ago in SAE by Terry Jesse about a kustomized Buick model he built and painted with Pactra RC Lacquers. With the color combo he used it ended up with a bit of a flip flop effect when it wasn't a muddy brown or purple (It's been a while since I read it). I remember him saying that they were either candys and/or pearls from Pactra and that he called the combo Munster Pearl. I'd appreciate it if anybody's memory is better than mine is on the topic.

You thought she looked a little overdressed too, huh Have you guys noticed all the commercials on TV that seem to have 70's era vans in them?

You have to run Moons or Baby Moons on a car like that, Rallye's just look wrong on a Tri-5 Chevy to begin with and would be even worse on this one.

Dang, wish I'd had a chance to at least look at it before we sold out of that issue, sounds like a neat article!

I knew there were some kind of problems with them that caused them to crack around lugs. I guess Kelsey-Hayes redesigned them within a year or so and put them on the market as an aftermarket rim. I also read somewhere that the procedure that Chrysler used to test rim strength at the time included neutral drops into drive and reverse

Weren't the "recall wheels" cast aluminum?

Real!

I'll be honest, I'd seriously consider using C4 on that "bed", then replace it with a worked over fleetside bed.

That's probably right on the money, I ran across the same when I still had my little Turbo Mopars.

I was breaking up bearing sets for RC Cars that we've been trying to get rid of today and bagging the individual bearings up in corresponding sizes (5x11mm bearing went in 2-4 bearing per) in little baggies we recieved Tyco slot cars fon one of our distributors, some of which were labeled with desctription of the car that was in it. I stopped and laughed out loud when I saw this Can anybody else see why this is so wrong it's funny?

That would look pretty decent if they had continued the body work onto a stock fleetside bed, that custom bed it just too far out there for my tastes.
