Michaels sale through July 10, 2010 has a 50% off coupon on any one regular price item and Hobby Lobby has the same deal with a 40% off coupon. Happy shopping.

Peter - don't forget to put your address in the box so we can send some $$$ back to you. I'm looking forward to this. It's going to be a major challenge for me. Thanks so much for taking so much time and care in this project.

Jim, it looks like a lot of work to clean those guys up. Why don't you just send them down to me and I'll take care of business. Nice score!!

A '57 Nomad - what a ride. I'd drop everything I was doing or planned to do with model building and get that puppy back on the street. Excellent looking ride, Shane.

Looks good, Hans. Good luck at the show.

Where's the cars? Hey Gregg - I have some hair growth tonic if you need it. It's guaranteed to grow hair - or it'll shrink your head to fit what you have. I'd like to vote for Diana, but I guess I need to vote for da Boss.

I used coat hangers until last year when I brought a Tamiya stand. I love the thing! It's easy clean up becuase the paint just chips off after it dries.

Nice work. How were you able to make the raised rings on the body where the exhaust comes through?

Hang the thieves by their thumbs! I remember that Jewel/Osco, I think, Joe. Across Roosevelt was the car wash. Right? Been there many times.

Another fantastic paint job. Wow!

Whooee!! That's some paint job. A tutorial would be really excellent.

Sweet looking build.

Thanks for all the advise fellas. I was thinking LHS to get me out of the casino and away from the one arm bandits. But that would take me away from the scantily clad waitresses too! Can't win in Vegas.

Freee drinks?? Delivered by scantily clad women? That's disgusting! I'm going to try and convince my wife to go in July instead of having to wait for September. If it's for free - it's for me.

My wife emailed me from work informing me that we're going to Las Vegas (I've never been there before). Anybody know how the area is for a local hobby shop? Gotta do something besides gamble and the Chicken Ranch is closed.

I believe it's Rick (Scale Dreams) that is already doing this stuff through TDR. Somebody (gramps?) has built a scale SBC on this forum.

Happy to help out when I can.

Don't you have cell phones on the left coast? Call the cops on those bandits!!!

Was that purchase over the internet or LHS? Nice haul. Why did you decide to get that particular Dremel instead of the Stylus? Either way, I bought keyless chucks for my Dremels and love them (part #1498 I think).

Peter, Take your time. I'm sure all of us who signed up appreciate what you're doing - at least I do. Why not just wait until you get the tops done and then make only one mailing?

Followed your build, Steve. The completed gasser looks really good. Nice details.

The decals were very easy to work with and laid down nice with all the Solve-a-set I used. I haven't used decals in a long time so I can't really say they were too thick or too thin. There were a couple of areas (scoop, f & r license plate) that needed more attention and trimming. I did discover that I should have installed the glass before the decals. I use blue tape to hold the glass from the outside when I glue the inside. The tape tends to pull the decal up even after it's dried.

Thanks guys. Appreciate your kind words. My current projects are a '54 Chevy sedan delivery with a full length moon roof and a '23 track roadster. I'm trying to replicate the real puffy leather interiors of years past by wrapping the leather over a piece of 14 gauge copper wire. It's not going very well.

Looking good, Shane. Keep it going.
