Very nice!!

Sweet!!! Welcome aboard the board.

Gorgeous.

But they can't outrun Motorola.

Hey! Tomorrow we're down to just 8 days until DESERT SCALE CLASSIC 12! Since 8 is my favorite number, I'll post some NEW and tantalizing information about the event . . . tomorrow. DESERT SCALE CLASSIC 12 is gonna be epic!

There is no other forum. But, you probably heard something about the Chip Foose special editions that Revell will bring out later this year. Both are based on 1:1 cars he built. Neither will have stock proportions or parts. No one is sure yet whether the F100 will be a new tool or a rehash of an old tool, but the Caddy has to be an all-new tool since there's never been a plastic kit or promo like it.

Fantastic! . . . as is customary, G!! I misread the thread title at first. I thought this was going to be an apple pie vs cherry pie thread. We'll be seeing you soon, no, mi amigo?

Whoa! How have I missed all this progress? It's looking goooood, Art! And, I'm looking forward to seeing you on the 9th! Only 9 days away!!

Getting closer . . .

Yes, Misha, there is.

Indeed! And no mandatory backup video cameras, either!

I agree with you, Mike! Looking forward to seeing you again.

Indeed! And, if y'all think time is FLYING past for those trying to finish up a build . . . you oughta see how fast it flies when you're trying to finish up "building" a major model car and slot car contest/vendor expo/raffle event!! We're getting there, but boy, there are a lot of details! [Brad knows; he's helping a great deal.] I had no idea what I was getting into . . .

Thank you, Harry! BTW ~ IMHO [That was probably a funny, right there!] ~ Most of their drug-addled peers of that era are either gone or gone. So, yeah. More power to them!

FREE concert in the last remaining {NO POLITICS, please} country. Ironic. Not surprising. I wonder if any of the Cuban citizens in the {NO POLITICS, please} Cuban prisons were released so they could attend the {NO POLITICS} FREE concert? Edited to remove politics. Completely non-political statement: Even more surprising the Stones can still function enough to replicate a concert.
