  1. It's the correct interior for the '55 & it looks like it's plastic. I can't say for sure without taking the model apart but from what I can see I'm betting it's plastic. The windows are clear, not tinted. I also had bought the '56 Olds & it came with the interior.
  2. I built the '55 Pontiac a few years ago & it came with the interior.
  3. That's a Gorgeous car. My Mom had a '55 red & white 98 starfire convertible with a continental kit back in the early 60's. If I would have about 10 years older She would have never traded it in.
  4. I got a new computer & I'm changing my email address. I've tried to do this on the old computer & the new one but I don't receive an email at my new address on the new computer to activate it. If I change my email back to the old address I then receive an email on my old computer to activate the old address.
  5. My Mom had one of these back in the 60's. 1955 Olds 98 Starfire convertiblei I had one of these back in 1970-71. 1956 Mercury Monterey
  6. Completed a great trade with Bigtruck. Would gladly trade with him again.
  7. I got a 1954 Pontiac promo from Ken Krewier ( Bigtruck)
  8. I'm a BIG Beatles fan & know who he is. Good for him that he could look back with no regrets. I'm betting It would be mighty hard for most people to live with knowing they said no to the biggest group in rock history. It took Pete Best years to able to live with being thrown out right before they hit it big. RIP Johnny.
  9. Our fur baby is Carly. She's a stray that turned up a few years ago. Always happy, loves going for walks & owns the house. A real sweetheart I couldn't imagine not having.
  10. I might be interested in one of the Toronadoes & a couple other kits. What are you looking for in trades? I'm also interested in checking out the models not listed.

  11. [II built this kit a while back. My Brother got it for me at Goodwill for $1.00.
  12. I never had any idea anyone brought out a '73. I owned one of these back in the '80's & have wanted to build a copy for years. Would prefer a detailed 1/25 but I'll be happy with a 1/32 just to have a model of one.
  13. It's a farm & ranch store. They sell a lot of different things but it's mainly for the farm.
  14. I stopped by a Big R store today & saw this paint. It says it sticks to anything, including plastic. I'd like to try it but would like to know if has anyone used it so I can see if it's worth buying.
  15. RIP Marty. I've always been a fan of Jefferson Airplane. So many 60's rockers are passing. When you're young you don't think that they'll get old & die one of these days. Then as time goes by & you find they do age & die like everyone else.
  16. Gifted with some parts I needed from classicgas, Lee Rilea. He saved a model that I could never had finished without his help.
  17. Back in Nov. 2007 my hours at my job were cut from 40+ hours a week down to less than 20 hrs for several months. Everything got behind including a few missed mortgage payments so our house went into foreclosure. I was so depressed thinking my Wife & I were going to be homeless I threw 100+ built models out with the trash figuring I wouldn't have a home to put them in. A couple weeks after all this happened new owners took over the company I work for & I went back to fulltime. We were able to save the house from foreclosure & everything worked out great other than the regret I still have for being so hasty & stupid & throwing all my models away.
  18. It's supposed to rain all weekend here also. That irks me for sure since I wanted to do some yard work.
  19. 1955 Olds 98 Starfire convertible. My Mom had one in the late 1950's. I was only 6 but I thought that was a gorgeous car. She traded it in 1961.I wish I would have been old enough to have taken it off Her hands. Her car was the same color as this one & had the continental kit.
  20. Here's my mixed pooch. Her names Carly & she was a stray we took in 5 yrs ago.
  21. Congratulations. We're right behind you. 46 years on Aug.2
  22. Kate Middleton. I think she's gorgeous.
  23. I've always loved that song. RIP Eugene.
  24. This is my baby. Her name is Carly.
