  1. Thanks much guys for the support!
  2. Well guys and gals. I'm about ready to start building again. After the fire at our house in April. We are about to finish the deal on a new place. So I should be building in about a month. Also going to a new club, model meeting today-7/13/13. Wow I just noticed that it has been 3 months to the day of our fire. Was going to post a pic of the new house, but it's to BIG ! Sorry Hope to take you folks up on the offers to start my collecting again. Thanks everyone for the support! Brian
  3. Sad to say they are all gone now. The house fire took them all.
  4. Beautiful! My kind of car. MOPAR!
  5. Well guys I'm back, I think. The house and all the contents is toasted. Yes the main thing is we all got out ok. The fire chief and the inspector agree that it was a electrical fire. Yes it started in my model room. But I did have everything unplugged. We are going through the whole process with the insurance and hope to rebuild. At least it didn't get to the garage. My Duster and the wife's Dakota R/T are fine. A friend brought over a couple of models for me to start the collection again. Kind of unnerving that it started in the model room. Just hope I can come to terms with the insurance adjuster on the value of the collection. Not going to have a problem with all the other stuff in the house. Even got a advance payment check from them to get started on the furniture. Doing this on a new computer with windows 8. I'm to BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH old for this kind of stuff. Another learning curve! I think I will take you guys up on the offer of kits in awhile. So long for now. I will keep in touch. Brian
  6. Thanks guys. We all got out OK. Just with the clothes on our backs. The wife, dog and I. We will be staying at the wife's mom and dads old house for a while. We hope to rebuild. Keeping our fingers crossed that we come to terms with the insurance company. Belive we had good coverage. I hope to rebuild the the model collection. Just had to many old Mopars to get them back.
  7. Well folks. We lost everything saturday night to a fire. I'm not going to be around much in the future. But I will do my damndest to get back. The whole house and contence is gone. even my 400 plus models. So to anyone I've delt with I thank you and I hope I dont owe anyone anything. All I ask is that you keep us in your prayers. Hope to get back to modeling soon. Thanks everybody! Brian
  8. Yeah you look for them and never find them. But you manage to find stuff you lost a year ago!
  9. Roger. Those are "Streetable Racers". Kind of like my car. Over in the avatar. A 12 second street car.
  10. Great job Sam. Showed my brother(he's a GTO guy). He loves it. I only have one question. Where did you get the guys working on it? I want some.
  11. I've never seen a model kit in the Michaels around here. Gas is $3.63 for the cheap stuff here!
  12. Very nice. Going to watch how you do the pipes for the turbo's. Going to have to try it on one of mine.
  13. Sweet! I'll be watching.
  14. Great job! Never though of doing that with one of those. Gives me idea's.
  15. You got another PM. Next in line? Please!
  16. I started when i was about 6 years old. Got a kit from my Mom. She was suprised that I built it. That was back in 1960. Took time off from it. when my kids were little. But been building strong for the last 25 years. I love the whole process. Just can't get enough. I will be building as long as my hands hold out. I have arthritus in 85% of me. I'm only 58( turning 59 in a week). Just hope the hands last as long as the mind. I hope that lasts too!
  17. I've seen that car before. Hi Clyde. Just noticed your post here. Seen them over on that other site.
  18. Very nice car! Reminds me of a 66 Belvedere I had. Also a 318 poly motor.
  19. USPS is always a day or two late!
  20. Very cool! When I seen six pack wagon. I jumped the gun and though a Mopar wagon with a 440-6 pac. I like it very much thought!
  21. Be carefull when trimming with the Xacto knife! OUCH!
