  1. Nice shots! I never messed around with block & white too much, but seeing your photos makes me want to!
  2. I normally don't do much wildlife photography, but a recent kayak expedition with a now ex-GF turned up a few good shots..
  3. I too don't understand the whole obit thing!
  4. Don't know if it's company wide, but my local Rural King had Duplicolor paint marked down to $2.99 each. I picked up a few.
  5. A couple of the more interesting things I've seen the past couple days. A VW Westfalia towing an ice cream freezer & this McLaren rode by my side for a good few minutes.
  6. Thanks for posting those! I put my camera in the bag on one of my offload trips to the car. It was a smaller show, but still managed to find some needed kits. I'll be back for the November show.
  7. I didn't get many photos this time around, but here are a few. The crowd was noticeably smaller as was the vendor turnout and show entries. I'm sure the raised admission price and $4.50/gal gas didn't help!
  8. Picked these up at the Southlandz show today...
  9. I've owned every body style of '56 Fords with the exception of a convertible. Seeing these '56's made my day, the convertible is a rare solid Mandarin Orange car. The '57 Chev. convert was parked at a local body shop.
  10. Anyone with an interest in Ford & body design, should pick up this book. Lots of photos of one off designs and is fascinating reading. Well worth finding a copy! It has a chapter on the 49 Ford & it's design.
  11. That's William Clay Ford, Henry II's brother. WCF was involved in styling and on the board of directors for years.
  12. Neat show held in one of the area historical parks. Just a random sampler of the 300+ photos I shot today. The '56 Ford Ranch Wagon & '57 Caddy Biarritz where the highlights for me...
  13. '54 Cadillac on the interstate at 6am this morning.
  14. Nice Jewel Blue '61 Corvette. Naturally my Nikon was in the trunk!
  15. Haven't seen this posted yet. I've never been but plan on attending.
  16. Yet another month of disappointing car kit releases in both subject and number of kits. I wonder if this is going to continue?
  17. Here's a few from the past couple days. The unibody Ford Pickup was a pleasant surprise!
  18. Minibus stuck in traffic on my way home this evening. You don't see many of those Corolla wagons either!
  19. I plan on being there as a buyer. Scored some great deals there back in November!
  20. Nice clean car! It's known around 700 '68's were painted black or Tuxedo Black in GM parlance, it's code 900 on the trim tag. The exact number of black '69's isn't known but I'd guess around the same as '68. In all my years of messing with early Corvettes I've only seen a handful of black 68 or 69 cars. Here is a '68 still wearing it's original black paint, I almost bought this car when I saw it!
  21. Jim, it was just certain numbers of the Evergreen & K&S. The styrene sheet for instance wasn't marked down. If I had to guess they are either shrinking those lines or adding new inventory. I'd suspect the former as they also had all the Alumilite and some other misc tools on the pegs marked down as well. The 2 local HL's are shrinking the car/aircraft kits and adding more of the gundam type stuff.
  22. Late 60s Chevy Van at a garage. They had some other interesting stuff that I need to stop in and check out one day....
