  1. I will "N O T " buy a wraped kit unless I know the person ( unless it's a hobby store) I was at a swap meet a few year's back. I found a "Haulin Hearse" kit ..... I WANTED IT ! The seller was asking $45. It was sealed. When I picked it up..... it rattled...... like BROKEN GLASS ! I told the seller I wanted to purchase the kit , but I wanted to see the kit first. He said " no,if you open it it's no longer a collectable" But I'm going to by it, so what does it matter. Nope. buy it first. I walked away.
  2. Trucker's have a lot of rule's to follow, They have to keep track of their hour's behind the wheel, their cargo, their weight ( the truck....not themselves) ect. ect. They must stop at Port of Entry / weigh station's for weigh -in, and the "occasional" inspection. Most state's have a 26,000 lbs cut-off for commercial vehicle's. Under 26,000 lbs your not required to stop at weigh station's ( This varies by state ) but quite a few state's require ANY commercial vehicle to stop ( this include's anybody with a business logo on the side of their vehicle to stop.... even if it's a small pick up truck. The "Not For Hire" logo tel's law enforcement that " This is NOT a Commercial vehicle", and therefore not subject to carrying logbook's or weigh -in's . HOWEVER: there are a few state's where this is changing ( Arizona has become quite "Draconian" in it's stupid catch-all law's . to the point that if you rent even a small U-Haul to move from point A - to - B you have to stop at weigh station's . No matter what you weigh ! Even if you are a "Private citizen ! And if you packed it wrong and have too much weight in the truck, your gonna get a ticket !)
  3. The other member's here have given good advice / tip's , so I wont repeat them. But I will say... 1: The car look's great ! 2: I like the Silver and Blue combination. They go together like "Milk and Cookie's ". 3: Nice job on the decal's . The large one's on the Hood / Roof / trunk can be a "Bear" to get snuggled down without air Bubble's getting trapped under them. Your's look PERFECT ! I have been building model's for 45 year's ,and "Still" can't get decal's to go on perfect every time. ( My Hammer usually fix's the problem.....)
  4. This is True. And my computer is an O L D Dell with Window's XP. I use Iobit Malware fighter and It's convinced that Kalambach is Satan !
  5. The drawback to an "Un-Secured site is that your own computer may decide that the site is a Threat, and wont let you access the site. " For your own safety, your computer will Block the log - in request. This mean's that if you want to log-in, you will have to turn off any Anti- Virus software you have running. Then you can get on to the site..... but at the same time, your computer will be getting "Hammered" by spyware threat's . I just went through ALL OF THIS with Finescale Modeler, ScaleAuto, and Model Railroader. The parent company ,Kalambach, has a certificate provided by Go-Daddy.com... And my computer has "Seizure's" trying to get anything done on those site's !
