Lyle Willits

The only one I ever knew about was made by All American Models,,,,,LONG out of business. You may be able to find one on Ebay. There MAY have been other casters who made them that I'm not aware of.

Glad you're all moved in. We'll see you at the meeting.

I decided to go "curbside" with this because I got too lazy to scratchbuild everything under the hood and fashion hinges. Paint is Duplicolor Orange Metalspecks. Made recessed plate and used '59 Corvette tailights. Resin dash was included in the kit. Most of the rest of the interior is Revell '41 Willys. Wheels are '06 Mustang with '51 Chevy center caps. This being the year of the resin build, I'm on to the next project. Thanks for looking.

George, Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Unfortunately, yours are completely wrong.

It's been almost 30 years since I lived in South Jersey, but, if I recall, a quick trip over the bridge to Lombard street in Philly should provide you with a nice selection.

Here's the NNL EAST web site. Check it for news. http://www.nnleast.com/index.html

Billy - just a suggestion - take a break from NASCAR models. Pick up a completely different kit. I know you like NASCAR models but, let's face it, they are the SAME models with different decals over and over and over. Try something else. Go through Dave Lindsay's FOTKI albums until something "hits you". Or,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,start drinking, smoking and hanging out with women of ill repute.

Just an FYI - The Foose ElCamino is a '67.

Don't know why you keep getting that ol' MOPAR guy to do your CHEVY buildups!

Bob,,,that was me,,,,on YOUR forum, http://trakinscale.proboards105.com/index....amp;thread=1574

Charlie Magers used red lines from Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Md. on this Chevelle.

Just a warning,,,,,,,,Larry Boothe will be coming with me this year.

Tom - The wheels you need are in the AMT '66 Riviera kit. Just don't paint the centers like I did,,,leave the whole thing chromed.

This could easily win another Woddington award,,,,,,if there still was one!

I'm still waiting for the '49 woodie. (Having been born in '49, I have heard my wife say the same thing.)

Thanks. The paint is actually Duplicolor MetalSpecks orange. with a ton of clear.

In-progress resin kit from RMR. ( DO NOT confuse them with R&R). Very good quality castings. Donor kit is the Revell '41 Willys street rod kit for interior and suspension parts, etc. but a large amount of tweaking, parts box stealing and scratchbuilding is necessary if one wants to build a detailed model as opposed to a slammer. Wheels are '06 Mustang with '51 Chevy caps glued to the centers,,,,,because they are DIFFERENT. Will have '59 Corvette tailights and sunken license plate. Big block with Dudek polished aluminum valve covers.

Here ya go, Mike: Dan,,,,,,,,if you ever see a rat rod model with my name on it then someone has gotten fat, dyed their hair white and had several wrinkles surgically installed to impersonate me, while my rotting body liquifies inside an old refridgerator in a shed behind a shack in the Arizona desert. Uh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,maybe I should turn off the CSI marathon and go outside for awhile.

John, I wouldn't take the questions personally at all. Had nothing to do with you. Rumors are rampant on these message boards regarding this hobby, in general. Next week we'll probably hear that Testors has bought General Motors and is going to continue to make all of their cars, but they will be 1/25th scale and each kit will cost $5000.

This young lady really liked Irv Arter's '40 Ford.

Thanks for explaining that George. I thought I was having one of those dizzy spells again.

With a little practice, you can add just about anything to your photos.

Info is true.It came out in an official statement 2 or 3 weeks before Christmas.
