:D I would like to give a shout out to a forum member for helping me!! He goes by Old Coyote and he is John.I posted the need for instructions for the 1/16 scale Beebe and Mulligan car.Not only did he send me a close set by e-mail,when he could not find them right away,when he did find them,he also sent them to me by e-mail. He sent me the first set so that I could get started. He also gave me some hints to make my build more accurate to the real one.He included pics of his and it is awesome!!! We need more of this kind of person in our great hobby!!!! :D Again THANKS OLD COYOTE!!! George

John, Thank you very much for the instructions!!! I will have fun on this one.

Hi All, I am still in need of the actual instruction sheet for this. Anyone have one,I would love to get it. Thanks,George

John and NitroJunky, Thank you for the offer.I will PM both with e-mail address!!! Thanks again, George

Hi guys, I am posting this in the Drag Racing and Wanted forums.If this is not needed,Please delete this. I need the instructions for the !/16 scale kit above.This is the one that was sold a few years ago. Thanks a lot in advance, George

Hey Harry, I love your take on the existing platform.I would like to see what you come up with in a ground up idea of a CHARGER for 2013.

HARRY,you mean that you will pay us $200 for that??? Surly you don't mean we pay you for a date w/Gregg. :D

Harry,Pat or Gregg, Please feel free to lock this one down.I was only trying to open a topic on what I thought was an idea I had.I am sorry for it going in the direction it did. It is apparent that there are strong feelings on many matters. Thanks to everyone that contributed to the idea this thread had. Many good points were made!!

To all that have replied to thread,THANK YOU!!! This has been a very interesting discussion.Many of you have made great points.I hope this continues to make us think out of the box,which can only help with our modeling skills!!! :o

Harry, I both agree and disagree with you.When I was a kid growing up in the stone age,we had car,plane,armour,ships,science fiction,and many more types of kits.You could go to the store and choose what kind of kit you wanted.Most of the kits were the same range of pricing. Now,you can go to Michael's ,HL and others and get a Revell WWII Corsair for $10-15,or get a more detailed kit of the same plane for $60 at HL or your LHS. We,as car modelers, don't have that choice.If you want a Hemi Cuda,you have 1 choice. I guess I am dreaming that we could get foreign company to model US cars.I wish Tamiya,Dragon,Trumpeter,and others would tool up some of these.I know Trumpeter did a few some years ago,but,I don't think their heart was in it. I am waiting for the Hudson Hornet to come out,but,to be honest,this is a long shot to sell well.How many modelers have heard of it before now.I will buy one. I just wish we had more buying options as far as detailed kits of our favorite muscle cars!! :o

Hi Guys and Gals, I was thinking (I know,very dangerous) about the kit prices in our hobby.When a new kit comes out,many people complain about the high price of it.In our section of the modeling world, prices are from $15-35 or for a tin boxed special maybe $40.If you check out other modeling sections,the prices are a lot higher.I was at my LHS and it is not unusual for an armour or aircraft kit to go for $45-80. This is for 1/35 scale armour and 1/48 aircraft. If you go 1/24 scale aircraft,it will set you back $150-300. Yet companies continue to mold new kits and sell them!!! What are every bodies thoughts on paying more for a well detailed kit?? I mean having plug wires, plastic carb linkage molded,better detailed engines,and bays,better detailed interiors,ETC... I am talking 1/24,1/25 scale.I know I would pay $40-60 for a better detailed kit.If you were to go to 1/16 scale,how about a Camero,Mustang or Cuda for $100, on the level with the armour kits?? Some of them have 300-800 parts.I know I would buy a detailed 1970 Superbird!!!! These other modeling areas have kits for just about every variant of the subject.How would you like to have kits made of your favorite car with multiple engines/trannies.You could get a kit of a 1967 Camero with a six cylinder,and several V-8's.Not in one kit, but be able to buy several different kits.Also,be able to get a SS,RS,Z-28,Yenko,Baldwin-Motion,ETC... Lets hear from you out there and maybe the companies will hear us. George

What scale are you building?

Hey Guys, I just happened on this topic and thought I would chime in. If you are looking for fire and police items,try these links, www.chimneyvilledecals.com www.policecarmodels.com They are for Chimneyville Hobbies and I don't know if they are still around and hope this helps

Hey Harry!!! Went with real on this one.Looks too good to be a model so it probably is. Oh,BTW Harry,shouldn't it be ROM # 141? Not enough coffee this AM or very late night????

That jacket looks awesome!!!! How do you order one??I went to the home page and could only find the t-shirts.

OK Harry!! I have got this one nailed!!!! I can ID this as a Studebaker!!!! This game is not so hard. Seriously,this one is hard,so, I am going with REAL!!!!

:lol: I KNOW THIS ONE Harry!!!! It is one uuuuggggglllllyyyyy truck of some year and some make. Other than that I have no idea.

Hey Nick, This W/T looks great!!! I love the manuals in the interior.Did you just reduce and print those also?? Nice touch!!! It looks like you are getting better and better at this hobby. I have a suggestion for you with the pics.Check and see if your camera has a light balance adjustment for indoor lighting.That will make all your pics the correct color. You are really getting good with the engine bay.You are miles ahead of where I was at that age. Very Nice Job,Nick and keep modeling.

Hi, Go with the 330.It is a great kit,but, if you are going to make it a street machine, you will have to add windshield wipers.As it being a S/S car it did not have any. I made one as a street machine and it looks nice!!!

Hi Steve, check out this site. The guy is very nice and there is a section with walls in it and other diorama parts. http://myinbox.com/photos/escort500xl

WOW Chuck,That is a super paint!!!! This is one of my favorite funny cars of that era!!!! I can't wait for the rest of the build and hope you post pics of the finished car.

Hi Mike, welcome to the best forum on the web!!!! You will find that good people will reply to this with great ideas. Are you wanting to scratchbuild the stands?? You can find them on evilbay for a good price.There are several diorama resin casters that have them also. One that comes to mind that might have them is Scale modeling by Chris. There is another caster that I can't think of that is good also.If you want,I can find his site and send it to you. If you are going a different way, good luck to you as I can't help you there.I have trouble scratchbuilding my food!!! :P

:lol: Harry, This is so weird, it has to be real.

Hi Jerry!! Welcome back to the best hobby in the world!! :D WOW! If this is an old build,I can't wait to see your current ones. Very nice.I like the detail level. I love the old diggers and hope you post many more.

Very nice job on these Pro Stocks!!! I love this kind of builds,using decals to make a build of a kit not made by the company.I think if Revell made some new P/S kits, they would sell well.
