  1. I think the reason it got kicked out in the first place is because he shipped as 1st class package and not 1st class envelope. It would be considered an envelope as long as the contents didn't make a bulge larger than 1/4". There is no reason for it to be considered Priority. I think the postal worker is the one who decided to charge for Priority, I think they are wrong. Would at least have a conversation with your Post Office about this.
  2. I think this has run it's course.
  3. I have 3 of these kits in the stash. I can only hope they turn out half as nice as yours. They look good in white. One of mine will be white and blue. Thanks for sharing.
  4. I have family from Nitro and Clendenin. Welcome!
  5. Thanks for sharing these. I am going to have to see if I can find some vintage races close to home. I always enjoy seeing the older cars out on the track. Those open wheel cars look so short. First glance, I thought it was a carting class.
  6. This is a good time to remind everyone about the report post function (see the announcement at the top of every page). I see that Paul has deleted his original post, so I will lock this thread.
  7. It's a factory wheel stander. Been a long time since you could go to your local dealership and get one of those. Building a car that requires a full cage (if you want to make a second pass) to drag race is just showing off. Probably why I like it!
  8. Harry - Technically Modelhaus is still in business (finishing up orders). Coming on here and saying you want to copy the work from one of the most respected resin casters in the hobby is not going to sit well with many folks here. There are currently several active threads on this board discussing just what you are trying to do.
  9. Not a Steelers fan, but most everyone (including opposing players) have nothing but praise for the Rooney family. That goes a long way in this era when some owners are considered the enemy, even by their own players.
  10. This is a shocking announcement, but one I am glad to see.
  11. I found the '29 at Hobby Lobby last week. Looks like I can have my LHS order the '30 in a few months.
  12. I have not had this problem and unfortunately do not know how to fix it. Did you try logging out and then back in?
  13. I had forgotten he was in Kelly's Heros. He is the first foul mouthed comic that I remember seeing.
  14. Both the Torino and Charger should be good sellers. There were lots of folks wanting the stock versions.
  15. Congratulations on the new job! Maybe your travels will get you in range of a few different model clubs. Get out there, make new friends.
  16. Yes, please keep politics out of any discussion on this board. If there is any question as to whether something would be considered political, don't post it.
  17. Rest in peace Harry. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
  18. Happy birthday Richard. Cake, ice-cream and then off to the bench to start building.
  19. You can see the point where driver safety started to be a concern.
  20. Almost any car can grow on me. I don't care if they are ugly as long as we get good racing. Safety is starting to play a larger role in car designs. If a driver walks out of his ugly car after a horrible crash, then I am for the ugly car. Race cars didn't have safety belts for the longest time.
  21. Not sure where this came from Ace. No need to dump on an entire country just because you do not like that someone provided additional information to one of your posts.
  22. You have to be the one that created the topic. Go to the first post and you will be able to edit the topic name.
  23. Members can no longer delete their threads. They can only hide them from view. I am not sure if they still show up in searches.
  24. Still a Mod. As far as I know, nobody is deleting threads (except duplicates). Members can hide threads that they started, but that has not happened very often. Weather is starting to get nicer and folks are ending their winter hibernation and heading outside. Post counts will generally dip this time of year. Dave forgot to change my title to Moderator when I first accepted the position. He just hasn't made the change yet (he also needs to update the remainder of the staff list).
  25. I don't think I have ever seen them in black. I have seen plenty in hi-impact colors (the one I sold was yellow). Rears seem to be much rarer than the fronts. Paint them black, yours would be a rare fish indeed.
