What's Everyone Profession,etc..job,
roncomatic replied to stanleymsn's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I'm retired... worked for 30 years as an auto tech. --ron -
OK, no problem. The store we usually go to has had kits go on clearance before... Sometimes down as low as $5.00, I believe. Actually, I picked up one kit... missing the body... for a buck. Hey, the tires and other parts were worth that much. At least to me. --ron

No problem... after I answered your message I went into the dining room and El Flyer was still sitting on the table. I had forgotten to put it in the recycle bin. Anyway, I quickly checked and afterwards surmised that you might have meant Clipper instead. No harm, no foul. --ron

Chris, Do you know how much longer the AMT clearance will be going on? The Michael's store I went to last night still had a fairly good supply of kits... although some of them were kits that I've passed over before. I guess cheap makes things look a lot better. --ron

Hi Jeff, I went over to a nearby Michael's and took a coupon from the Clipper magazine which was due to expire tomorrow. I brought a kit up to the counter and asked the girl there if the coupon would count towards it. She scanned the kit and said, "Yes." So, I learned something and brought home a Resto Rod '66 Nova in the process. Cost was $5.78 including the state and county tax. I'll take it any day. I guess the people who denied me before just didn't know what the facts were and I just assumed that they knew what they were talking about. I did not know about the flyer having a Michael's coupon. ... and I've already taken the recycle bins out to the street! Thanks for the info! --ron

Nice work, Mark! I love those early NASCAR racers. --ron

Has Anyone Ever Got Pneumonia
roncomatic replied to stanleymsn's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hi Stan! I've also had pneumonia, albeit a long time ago but I agree... it's no fun. What you need to do is get in bed and rest. I can't even imagine how you're able to sit at the computer and type. Hope you feel better real soon. --ron -

Hi Stan, thanks for the welcome. In the short time that I've been here I've been quite impressed with the scope of knowledge available in these forums. I wish there had been something like this around many years ago when I first took up the hobby. --ron -

Hi Jeff, thanks for the welcome. Now, you should know as well as I that Nobody is actually from Florida! However, I live over on the mainland. Much closer to the gators than you! --ron -
Tremec Transmissions
roncomatic replied to ScrappyJ's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That engine and transmission looks exactly like the one in my AMT '91 ZR1 Corvette model... sans the chrome. --ron -
Thanks, Chris! Looks like I'm going to have to go back over tomorrow evening then. I've got two 40% off coupons that I have to use this week. I would have sworn, however, that I've tried (or at least asked about) this before and been denied. --ron

Kits At 1970s Prices!!!!
roncomatic replied to FenderMender's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'm not saying this because I have any problem with Fords.... I'm building a couple now. However, of this group, the Chevy's all look more interesting. The '51 Chevy and the Monte Carlo look particularly nice. The '67 Chevelle is a classic too. However, for the money you're talking about, why not get them all? Would you mind telling us where you found this deal? --ron -
I've really enjoyed this series. Lots of great early NASCAR history here. I remember watching a number of these cars race "back in the day." My only disappointment is in not finding Smokey's 7/8th '66 Chevelle in the mix. Many thanks! --ron
-
They usually don't allow us to use the 40% off coupons on already discounted items. Wish they did. --ron
-
Around here their selection is pretty random. And, not all of the local stores carry the same kits. I usually have to check out three different stores to be sure of covering everything. That said, they're still a good source for kits and they sell lots of other stuff that can be used for model building. --ron

Thanks for the info on the kit maker. Paint looks really nice. --ron
-
Thanks for the heads up. I sometimes get kits at Michaels using their 40% off coupon. Looks like I may be able to pick up a few things I've been wanting to add to my "waiting to be built" list and save the coupons for other stuff. Unfortunately, Michaels doesn't carry a very large selection of kits. At least around here. --ron

Hi Gregg! Thanks for the welcome. Now that's really puzzling. You're weather is usually worse than ours. Yessir! --ron -
Is this the Lindberg '66 Chevelle SS396 kit? I don't see it listed on their site. I wonder if they're still making it. Looks good so far. I'm going to enjoy following along with this build. What color are you planning to paint the body? --ron

I was just foolin' with you. I really don't know why there are so many modelers from Florida here. Maybe it's the weather! --ron -

Thanks for the welcome, Raul! Is that a trick question? -
Hi guys! I just joined a few days ago... after figuring out that my email provider was hiding the MCM verification email in their bit bucket! Anyway, I'm glad to be here and look forward to learning from all of you. --ron
