You've done a duty of the greatest appreciation for which I'm Thankful! And paid a price I wish I could repay! THX Joe!

OK! I gotta ask! What's up with the duck?

Thanks much Tim for posting that!! I cannot make the trip East either & " on here" is where I get my updates of the kit-world news broadcast to my little corner of the ?field in this fly-over state. Oh! ....I too ... don't "Face____"

*Rocketman455* THX Chuck! You're welcome to my dungeon anytime! Worked very well for me as well! We'll do this again.

That C. Y. Cyclone is a gem indeed!! Don't see those very often! Thanks for posting those pics up.

Here is my meager entry to all rare & not often seen kits.

^^^ "that's the post I wanted to read!! ^^^^^

Here's one of his eBay listings......

Ray's stuff is great...he includes interior, underhood details also. I'll hafta find the link ...but there's a gentleman here in the states that's selling Rays decals & works closely with Ray.

I do not recall "who" ...built tha S-3...but remember it as white w/ a red or maroon landau top. **My bad that was decades back in that "other" magazine.** I'll be watching this build....I think your progress is paying dividends! Carry on!

This build brings back memories of my high school days...it was only "hot" when you weren't moving...and the 4spd 409 would "move"!! Your wife has a good eye for design! & made a good chioce! Sorry for the poor 40 "some" year old pic!

Casey offers these in resin.

Similar to these?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/265906189832?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2yuTNNKBQZq&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=CIeM6xs3QDK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=SMS

Freezing the use of the word "Lad" is the understatement of the day!

I'm sure you'll remedy the problem using any/all of the aforementioned tips...the positive is! your addressing it B4 it became a real problem! Makes me wonder "how" many kits never made completion for this very reason. Best wishes for your project!

Very nicely done! Looks Great! I have the same kit & decals set aside to do this very same build...after seeing yours...mine just moved up the ta-do list! Well Done!

Welcome to the forum Erich! There are a great bunch of very talented individuals here! ...more than willing to share,help & teach! In reflection of your introduction...that youngster you mentioned...bring him/her along on this new journey!! ...makes for great family bonding time! (and we all need youth interest to carry on this hobby of ours).

My favorite was Rudy Hogg & his hired hand (the pig) with everything from the garden tiller all the way up to Combines with blown engines, big slicks, extreme headers showing exhaust gasses & heat waves from finishing chores!! Also liked Unk & the varmits!

It's " leibarite"..... Leibarite! ...there...it ain't worth a dang thing!??

I actually have the box! ? Now I need the contents!!

THX Guys!! Great story of friendship & camaraderie!! Both enjoyable builds!! Absolutely "what" this hobby is ALL about!

Stay Strong! They will never tell you they need you more than ever before...& they DO! Mom said to me in my youth.... If "He" brought you to it ....then "He" will bring you through it.

I have enough drama in my life! Exactly "why" I don't do Faceplant...and still it haunts me in my hobby!

Go right ahead! That'll never happen in my lifetime!
