For those who don't get the joke, Reps & Mins DOES NOT have a website.

These are the headers from the '32 Phantom Vickie, but if you're going to put them on a small block Chevy, you have to move the two inside pipes together.

Uh,,,,,,regarding photo #89,,,,,,,aren't you a little old for that sort of thing, grandpa? :wink: Cool pics. Thanks.

These are now available from Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Maryland for the Revell 1/12th scale chopper kits. More items will are being made, such as, a fat tank (like on the Sunchaser bike, etc.) new fenders, etc. 2 different carbs, a stock Harley aircleaner and S&S aircleaner. Reps & Mins has no website. Norm's email is: replmincomd@aol.com or call: 410-768-3648 Yeah, I know this should be under the "resin" category, but I was afraid it wouldn't be seen.

Steve Garrison's new toy that he bought from a guy in Connecticut. Yes, he said the Corvette seats have to go. Large scale Olds used in high school drivers ed. class in the 50's. Ron Roberts' '50 Ford. Just a small segment of our unwashed degenerates. Link to more of our monthly male bonding: http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/model_clu...eting-10212006/

The air cleaner is made from the grille pieces in a Monogram '39 Chevy kit.

'68 Chevelle

Many of the aftermarket companies and hobby shops sell detail wire in many colors. Some call it ignition wire. If you have an old phone cord laying around,,,uh,,,,not in use, or in your walls ,,,you can strip the insulation and use all the various wires inside. Some people buy rolls of it at Radio Shack.

JAFFA - I assume the finger you're holding up represents your I.Q. If you had read the entire thread, it would be apparent ( to most people )that I know Chad well and it's an obvious joke. Your post will probably be deleted for language anyway. Have a nice day.

Don't know of any resin '32 Ford pickup cabs or kits. There was a guy making them 2 years ago at NNL EAST. Unfortunately, I bought one and it's just junk! Never heard of the guy since. For years I've been going to do a master of a '32 Ford pickup for the Revell kit, but usually, I spend 3 to 4 months mastering something, only to have the kit reissued with THAT same body.

Very cool bike!!!

I didn't try to photograph ALL the models - my old back and legs just can support my weight that long Enjoy. http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/model_car...oledo-nnl-2006/

Nice pics Ken. Sorry I didn't get to meet you there. They've estimated close to 1000 models. They printed 800 entry cards and they think about 200 more models came in after the entry cards ran out. Whatever the actual number, it was definately the record for the Toledo NNL.

In spite of Chad Shapiro's wealth of knowledge of customs, Irv Arter won the National NNL Theme Award for this beautiful Merc. WAY TO GO IRV!!!

Based on the photos above, I don't see any differences from the current two kits, except wheels and decals. I love these bike kits, but I don't see the point in releasing 4 more that are just like the two that are already out.

Very cool! Guess I'll see that one in Toledo.

We raised him right!

'bout time ya finished that car. Looking VERY good.

In the immortal words of Paris Hilton,,,,,,,,,,,THAT'S HOT!

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. Actually, Dan, I got back into modelling in the 70's with bike models. Here's one from the early 80's.

Gregg, I'll have this bike at Toldedo. You want to take the photos there?

Started with a R/M Crusader kit. Reshaped the frame tubes, extended and raked the gooseneck, shortened the forks, made a wide tank from two tanks, made a wrap-around rear fender from two fenders, fender supports made from sheet plastic, sheet plastic body panels, seat was doubled in thickness and mounted on springs. Primary belt assy. turned out and teeth groves cut all the way through. Scratchbuilt belt guard, linkages made from silver wire and plastic. Horseshoe oil tank was sectioned and mounted between frame rails. Scratchbuilt mirrors with chrome mylar faces. Scratchbuilt carburator. Aircleaner is a modified 1/25th wheel cover from the parts box. Paint is Duplicolor Orange Mist with white to yellow feather flames hand painted, all buried under lots of Duplicolor Clear Lacquer and polished A LOT! Flush tailight is Bare Metal Foil with several light coats of Tamiya Clear Red. More pics here if ya want: http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/lyles_mod...les__race_cars/

Jason, welcome aboard. I'll be practicing your method of staying awake while driving, on my trip to and from Toledo. At my age, I'm not having any more kids anyway!

The CPMCC did an amazing job on this show. 19 trophies were awarded, all by people's choice. THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL TIME! Here's the link for 282 pics: http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/model_car..._showdown_2006/
