  1. Thanks to everyone!! I will try all suggestions and any that come my way. George
  2. Hi everyone, I have inherited about 50 old car models from a neighbor. They are all built. They were kept in his garage for years and have about 20 layers of dust on them. HAHA !!! I have thought of using a damp brush on them. Can anyone suggest another method of cleaning them up. They were built in the 60's and 70's using a brush and a lot of polishing on the bodies. They are shinier than I can get with spraying. Thanks, George
  3. Hi, my first time with Funny Cars was at Miami-Hollywood Speedway Park. It is now defunct. Making way for condos. Anyway, it was between Terry's Seaton Super Shaker and another car with an Allison engine. The night did not last long as the Allison made a run and tore up the Asphalt with two ruts all the way down the strip. They had to close the strip and we spent the rest of the night in the pits. I was hooked from then on. I don't know the name of the Allison car. Top say it was impressive was an understatement !!!
  4. Hi, I am trying to build a couple of WWII aircraft. The interior cockpit is this color. I have done a search and some look like a slightly green yellow and some look like a green color. What is correct? Thanks a lot, George
  5. How can we get some?
  6. Hi, what motor is in the real car. george
  7. Hi, any help from anyone?? Are there any Top fuel decals out there? Slixx only has a couple. George
  8. Hi everyone, I have a sealed Budweiser Top fueler. I would like to build a fueler other than Kennys. Anyone know of anyone making these? Thanks, George
  9. Repeating TV commercials!!! I know the Marketing that if you see a commercial more than once, you are more likely to remember the ad. I just find it annoying to have to see the same one 2 or even 3 times in a row. The on that is most prevalent is the one by AT&T with Lily on the plane. See, it works !!! There are others and they are just as bad. Anyone finds this bad??
  10. Hi everyone, I am trying to get into F1 building. I am also finding it very hard to find newer kits that don't cost the price of a real one. I have not done much resin at all. Any help??? Thanks, George
  11. When I put in your sellers id, I get some railroad items. Is that you?
  12. Hi everyone, I am more sad than irked. I looked forward to seeing new posts on the laugh thread. It saddens me that a few people that can't follow the rules takes the fun and pleasure from the rest of us. my suggestion if you unlock the thread is to make it clear to everyone that posts will be deleted if found to be against the rules. The poster will be told why it is bad. They should be given a certain amount of violations and told where they stand. If they don't comply, then ban them from forum. Then, a few bad apples don't spoil it for everyone. I don't care who it is or how many posts they have. What are your thoughts, mods? Just my 2 cents worth. George Bluhm
  13. The worst car I had was a 77 Grand Prix. Bought it used. Ran fine for a year or so, then started having problems. It would just stop running while driving it. I was on I-95 in Miami and it just stopped. Luckly, I was in the right lane and able to get it off. Had it towed to a dealer. They took off the gas tank and checked the fuel lines and electrical. They could not find a cause. I drove it to a Dodge dealer and got a great deal on a Charger 2.2 Demo. Ran it for 22 years and over 155K miles on it. What a great little car.
  14. Hi Michael, make sure to clear your camera pics. Your going to need the space. Please take a lot of pics for us to see. It has a ton of great cars to shoot. I went there a long time ago with a film camera (before digital) and ran out of film. 7 rolls of 36 exp. Most of all, enjoy it. George

  20. Hi, what did you use to mask the cockpit? How did you do it? I have a F-84C.
  21. Hi, I saw your post and got to thinking. Boy, is that dangerous !! I was in a wreck that totaled my 1994 Crown Vic. A friend of mine said I could buy back the car from the other insurance company. I don't know if that is feasible or not. Might be worth looking into if you still want the car. George
  22. Hi Ron, great job !!! I take it the cars are HO. They look so good. Where do you get them? EBay? Thanks, George
