Yes, please!!!

Even though we belong to Philadelphia club, about half of us live in NJ, hence the name of the club, Many of us belong to other clubs, like the Jersey Shore Car Modelers and the Maryland Automotive Modelers Association (MAMA's). All of our guys are very friendly and will welcome you if you want to visit. I haven't been making a lot of the meetings lately, but I'm trying to improve on that. I always try to make it to all the other events. Our next meeting is in June 1st. BTW, we are part of the Delaware Valley Scale Modelers, which is the a chapter of the IPMS. http://dvsm.org/

Hi guys! Check out the Philadelphia Area Car Modelers. We meet the first Friday of the month around 7:00 pm at the Artisans Hall, 8100 Roosevelt Boulevard, Philadelphia. See info at our webpage. It hasn't been updated in a while, but we are a very active club. Feel free to contact me at fsroman@comcast.net or Bob Doebley rdoebley@comcast.net. Hope you join! http://pacms.org/.

Look up Gionc. He is from Italy and produces a great photoetch set for the Porsche 356, besides the cylinder head set. He also does resin (ScuderiaItalia.Lab @ Stradasports.com) Not sure if he's still producing anything, though..

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and anxiously waiting..... It has been pushed back for a year now and it appears that it finally is going to happen (I hope). We VW fans get no respect... Anyway, I want a case whenever they show up!

Can't wait to see them finished!

Greg, I noticed that you are from Philadelphia. Tommy Kortman, Greg Hogg (whose posts are above in this tread) and I belong to the Philadelphia Area Car Modelers, AKA "The Philly Boyz",and also to other clubs like the Maryland Automotive Modelers Association (MAMA's) and the Jersey Shore Car Modelers. We meet the first friday of the month at the Artisans Club on Roosevelt Boulevard. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in joining our group. Also, You can have a good idea of the vendors going to the show by going to the NNL East site (nnleast.com). They have a link to the vendors that assisted last year, most of whom are regulars. This list is usually updated close to the date of the show. Regards, Fernando Roman

Scale Production makes a Foose set in resin and aluminum that is very similar. Check @ Stradasports on this link: http://www.stradasportsstore.com/page86.html

Dave, Scale Productions does the transkit . Check Stradasports.com http://www.stradasportsstore.com/page86.html (almost at the bottom of the page)

I'm interested. Please keep us posted!

I'll go if you promise to have a Blue Hawaii waiting for me, with one of those liitle umbrellas on the glass !

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! YEEESSSSSSSSS! Meyers Manx!!!!!

Wow! Want too see his collection? http://www.flickr.com/photos/sergiogoldvar...57617541313993/ Sit down with a Guinness 6-pack!

An Off-topic area would be a good solution, as it wouldn't exclude general interest topics for whomever is interested , but would keep it separate from model related areas. You could call it "The Off-Topic Lounge" . Just my two cents.

If you decide to use the '68 Vette as a donor, as Ismael suggests, you can use the steering wheel from the recently reissued AMT '78 Trans Am. It's similar, although not 100% accurate, but looks better than the one you have now. Another option is to use one of the photoetch ones from Replicas and Miniatures. I hope you decide to restore it and not customze it, since it is a pretty rare model. Fernando

To give you an idea of what a re-issue sells for, check here, at the very bottom of the page: http://fantastic-plastics.com/page3.html

I've been to the dungeon, guys . This is where the genius works and the magic happens!!!

Do they have the MC logo on the front? Are they available in black also?

Beautiful job, Chris! I see that you filled the holes for the "spears" on the hood. Can you post a picture of the tailgate?

Se ve muy bien, loco . Guerrillero!

There's a plastic kit by Testor's (last reissued by Lindberg, but I don't see it in their current catalog). It's the Coupster, based on the first car on this series, the Boyd's Smoothster. Also on this series is a delivery van called Vantastic. I searched around and found them @ hobbylinc.com. Hope this helps, Fernando

I'm convinced there's a "black hole" under my work table, I just can't prove it.

This is one of my favorite builds by Tommy. You don't have any idea of how much work and research Tommy put into it, but the results show it. It has the correct color shades (HOK paints), even the stanchions on the top have that subtle difference in shade that is observable in the real car.

Bikini Beach - 1964 There's a few nice scenes with two of TV Tommy Ivo dragsters (one of them the 4 engine-4 wheel drive monster) making a pass, Dean Jeffries Manta Ray, the Greer-Black-Prudhome dragster and other 60's rods. You can see Tommy Ivo driving a bucket T in one of the race scenes. And as a plus you can see very young Stevie Wonder singing on what I believe could be his debut. I got mine on DVD from Amazon.com
