A worthy collection, does the EC justice! Don't forget to add the 68, someday.

I like this one, a "Cowboy Cadillac" Looks factory! Reminds me of one of these...

Thanks Rick, I WIll Build it! I'll try to post a build up as I go along.

I've always liked the blue with silver stripe Shelby's, I remember seeing them on the lots when they were new and always wanted to build one that looked like that. PM me.

Brandon, I have a 427 hood from the new tool Fairlane, if you want it, it's yours. PS. I still owe you a Boss 429 too. Patrick

That would be it.

I wish I could trade you for it, I've been looking for one of those for a while. No foolin'! Is it the MPC or Monogram snap kit?

It's a total glue bomb! There, now I won't feel bad about not getting it!

I'd say, you don't need to tell anyone who you gave it to. It's none of our business. Again, it would make it a spectacle. And like winning the lottery, some people are bound to pester the recipient to try to acquire a gem like that! Keep it between you and him.

Oh brother, It started out as a kind hearted gesture. The writer only wanted some thoughts on how to be generous to somebody else, and it ends with a couple "Grumpy Gus's" getting all bent out of shape over how many posts are on it? Are you guys serious? Steve, best to have a moderator just lock this one up or better yet delete it. Share your stuff how ever you desire. You got some great ideas here already. Some people just can't deal with other people's good fortune. Good night and God bless.

Those are fun, I have the site saved on my phone, to have something when I'm in a waiting room.

Instant weathering, I like it! Doesn't look too bad, it'll probably polish right out. Serves those little buggers right, for getting so close to look. Probably been a while since they've seen a 60 Ford p/u too.

I'd say, reattach it, tilt hoods are so passé now. How about using the GMC pickup cab and bed that's out now, those are easy to find

You know, this truck just doesn't seem to WANT to be painted. Must be a bad omen. There's only one way to eliminate this dilemma... Sent it to me so I can take the suffering away from you - really, you have had this stress for two years, that can't be healthy. I'll be glad to help. Seriously, send us pictures when the weather gets better.

Hang onto it, keep mum, and when the right person makes the right request - lay it on 'em!! That would make it fun for you and a thrill for the recipient. Just an idea.

I'd be interested in knowing what does work on removing paint from acetate plastic as I have a few brush painted acetate cars that I want to restore, but can't until I find a safe paint remover first. I posted a thread trying to gather junk acetate from fellow builders to use as samples to try to find a paint removal solution, but I got no response.

And all this time I have been writing letters asking them for old kits - if I had only known YOU were the golden door! Now, can you build an Open Road Camper van? I want one bad!?

If they're the same, then I must contact Round 2 about my missing parts for my Revell kits.?

Amen to that, and it's fun too!

Looks like they ripped off the design from a 34 Ford. But at least we could use that as a starting point. Nice looking truck though.

Because this is America - and they can! We can build and drive any kind of car we want, even if it is ugly. At least these ones are still being used, not out rotting in some field, junkyard or farmers porch rusting away, waiting to be touched again. Now as for "artistic sense and good taste", that's not for everybody.

AMT 40 Plymouth coupe with an old p/u bed grafted in. Easy Peasy. Sounds doable, who's gonna do one first? Any takers?

I agree, it must be tough to delete good information, but it's even more frustrating tp open old threads only to find "photo not found". It must be done.

There are some very kind, helpful, and generous guys here on this forum (they know who they are) Treating kindness for kindness, this world would be a lot better if we were in competition to "outdo each other in generosity"

DJ, Don't be upset, I don't think it was a slam on your thread. We got your irony on the topic, Yes that Corvette is a mashup of leftover parts, the guys were commenting on the original creators, not your input. The whole idea of this forum is to get people's feedback, which you did - in spades! I'd say, you got their interest, so your thread was successful.
